I remember how mad I was the first time I was “sent” to therapy, as a teenager, to get “fixed”. I refused to speak to the stranger behind the desk and waited out my hour as I stared him down. Needless to say, it wasn’t very therapeutic.

My goal as your therapist is to meet you right where you are today, regardless of where that is, and to help you get where you want to be. I believe it is important to help others find their purpose, develop competence, and grow with integrity into the person that they are meant to be. Therapy is a partnership that requires engagement and action in order for change to take place. If you’re ready for change, I’m ready to support you!

History is important to learn from, but getting stuck in the past can be depressing. The future is also important; however, if we worry about it too much, we get anxious. It’s important to live in the present and figure out tools and strategies that make life, not only bearable, but fulfilling!

I am a native Oregonian who is grateful for this beautiful state and all the wonderful people I’ve had the opportunity to work with! My counseling journey started with a yearning to understand family dynamics which led me to a Psychology: Family Studies degree from Corban University in 2008. Between working and parenting full-time, I received my MS in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2014.

I take a person-centered approach that is genuine, empathic, and that sees people in a positive light doing the best that they can. I view clients from a system’s perspective and use a variety of interventions drawing from, but not limited to, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I look forward to meeting you!
