I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.

When we journey through life it begins in wonder and amazement. However in time beauty is lost and the magic drains from the world. This magic is not gone, it lies dormant within our hearts where all is possible.

You have found yourself in a strange new world, but feel you don't belong. Afraid to reveal your true self and what you believe. What fears do you need to face? What stands between you and your happiness? Is life possible after trauma? When you learn to wield your mind skillfully like a sword, there is no foe too great and no challenge too steep.

Specialties: I have a passion for helping the LGBTQ+ community with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive thoughts and behaviors. I strongly believe in practicing and teaching meditation skills for formal and informal practice, building self-confidence and awareness through Non-Dual and integral philosophy, and self-empowerment through support in navigating life's many challenges.

Modalities: I have primarily found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Person Centered Therapy to be the pillars of my therapeutic style. Additionally I have completed basic training for EMDR which I have found to be using in addressing post-traumatic symptoms and self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.

Education: I have earned my Bachelor's degree from Portland State University majoring in psychology and earned my Master's degree in Applied Psychological Sciences with a clinical focus from Pacific University.

Experience: I have extensive experience with teens and young adults. I worked at Albertina Kerr, an in-patient setting, for children and teens who were experiencing severe emotional, mental, and existential distress. I was an intern counselor in an outpatient setting at William Temple House where I primarily helped young adults. I was employed by Marion County Children's Behavioral Health as both a crisis mental health specialist and therapist for children and teens for crisis intake and ongoing outpatient therapy.

There seems to be a rhythm to life. An outflow and an inflow, an up and a down. There is also a clockwise spin to the future or counterclockwise spin to the past projections in our minds. The more to the outer edges there is chaos and life experienced when attached or avoiding. But the more toward the center and into our self we go, the more we reach a point of order, stillness, and life when unattached and accepting of what may come.

Seeking the support of a counselor can be a difficult first step in understanding the barriers preventing you from living your best life. It is an honor for me to earn your trust. I am here to support you in making meaning, creating comfort, and uncovering resources to help you work through past hurts and current unhelpful patterns. Whether you are experiencing worry or anxiety, depressed mood, challenges associated with life or career transitions, or struggles related to self-esteem a strong therapeutic relationship can equip you with the tools you need to start the healing process.

I help individuals gain the skills to effectively communicate their needs, to feel more emotionally connected to others, and to be less reactive. With my mindfulness approach, I help people to increase their tolerance of discomfort, and to address symptoms of anxiety and unwanted habits such as emotional eating, and substance abuse.

A warm hello and welcome!

I seek to encourage people in growing hope, in creating meaningfulness and realizing perspectives from life experiences, to self-empower and self-accept in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, free of stigma and shame.

Counseling can be transformative and healing. Counseling can also be challenging and uncomfortable at times.  It is important to take it at one’s own pace. There are many different counselors to choose from and it can be self-empowering to choose a counselor or therapist that feels right to you.

My counseling approach is respectful, trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based and holistic. I believe wellness is possible through creating self-care practices, identifying and expanding positive coping and individual strengths, growing resilience and cultivating inner wisdom.  

I have worked primarily with talk therapy, creating the space and time to listen and listen deeply to what matters, exploring goals, naming and understanding obstacles, creating measureable action steps towards your decided goals.

I hold a master of science in Rehabilitation Counseling from San Francisco State University and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I am a trained counseling professional specializing in working with people living with disabilities, chronic illness, co-occurring conditions, and/or existing diagnoses. 

Since 2011, I have trained and worked with culturally and socioeconomically diverse people in diverse settings: community mental health, addictions/harm reduction, re-entry, transitional housing, clinical counseling, Veterans in recovery, street outreach, Veterans and community crisis/suicide prevention/intervention, vocational rehabilitation/return-to-work, and vocational organic landscape gardening training and teaching.

I am an ally and advocate to Military/Veterans, Disability, LGBT+, and BIPOC communities. I am happy to now be working at Stronger Oregon via telehealth to expand access to counseling during this covid-19 experience. I am a registered licensed professional counselor (LPC) Associate in Oregon and as an associate, I receive regular clinical supervision from a licensed clinician. I will share more information at the first session.

I’ve been in the profession since 2007 and have almost 10 years of Post-Graduate Clinical Counseling experience. Jumping on “the wave of the future,” I have been providing Telehealth Counseling services for over a year now.  I have practical experience serving both self-referred clients as well as those involved in the Criminal Justice System.  I have successfully helped persons with varying clinical issues including; Anxiety, Depression, Relationship problems, Men’s issues, Faith-based struggles and most Mental Health disorders. I specialize in PTSD, Domestic Violence Interventions and Addictions Counseling. I am a Trauma Informed Counselor who is also registered with "Star Behavioral Health Providers" trained and experienced working with Military Veterans. I love what I do and do what I love!

I approach counseling from a combined Existential and Narrative therapies theoretical perspective. Existential and Narrative therapies are holistic approaches that explore persons’ stories and experiences in relation to the physical, social, personal, and spiritual dimensions of struggles from the client’s perspective. These theories strive to understand what it means to be human. The therapeutic relationship is one in which the therapist and client co- journey together examining the client’s difficulties that may possibly have origins in four universal questions; Who am I?, Where am I going and why?, Why am I here?, and What gives my life purpose and meaning? Exploring these questions in relation to your present circumstances may stimulate growth and promote healing and help you write a new and preferred story for your life.

I am educated and trained in many evidenced-based practices and borrow techniques from other theoretical disciplines to meet your individual needs when appropriate.  I’ll work to help you develop a stronger sense of self-awareness and self-determination. As we journey together towards your realization of freedom and responsibility, you choose a new course that may lead to a better sense of well-being. My desire is to help you find hope and realize a purposeful and meaningful life.

I am an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an Oregon Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor 1 (CADCI). I am held accountable to the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (OBLPCT) and The Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO). To maintain my LPC and CADCI I am required to participate in continuing education relevant to these professions. I earned my Masters of Arts degree in Professional Counseling at George Fox University (GFU) after previously earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences at Linfield College. In compliance with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (OBLPCT) and the Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 833-025-0005, I have completed the educational requirements for Professional Counseling at GFU. I have also completed education for CADCI core competencies at GFU and Daystar Education, Inc.

I’d be honored to serve you and am excited to meet you!
