Pure Telehealth
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with several years of experience providing therapy. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked and volunteered in a variety of healthcare and social service settings, including reproductive and sexual health clinics, HIV support services, and intimate partner violence support. I earned a Master's degree in Social Work from Portland State University in 2018, with a specialization in Integrated Behavioral Health in rural settings. Shortly after completing my graduate program, I began working as a therapist in a generalist outpatient setting, offering therapy to individuals with a broad range of clinical issues from all walks of life. I have a special focus on working with LGBTQ+ individuals (including people seeking support with accessing gender-affirming medical care) and women struggling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, self-worth, and body image issues.
Though I have training and experience with a number of therapeutic modalities, I primarily utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Using this framework, I help people to develop effective ways of coping with painful or difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences, harness inner strengths, develop self-understanding and self-compassion in service of building a full, rich and meaningful life. I believe therapy is about more than reducing suffering and symptoms; it is about increasing the connection to one's unique sense of meaning and purpose, moving toward what matters most. Because the foundation of all good therapy is a strong relationship between therapist and client, I place great emphasis on building trust and safety in the therapy room by being warm, open, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I may have a few fancy letters after my name, but I am also an imperfect human being whose struggles and experiences are likely not so different from your own.
