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.

Hello! My approach to services is strengths-based and person centered. I truly believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives. My goal is to help you identify where you are struggling and walk alongside you as you learn new skills and discover your resilience and strengths. I believe in empowering people to help themselves by building confidence in their abilities and discovering all the wonderful things they are capable of.

I have experience working with youth and their families in both inpatient residential settings and outpatient community settings. I specialize in trauma-focused care in children and adolescents. Much of my experience has been working with individuals who have experienced trafficking, as well as youth who have run from home or are experiencing homelessness. I have also worked with BIPOC youth and those who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community. My experience also includes extensive group therapy work for a multitude of concerns including; anger management, skills for managing anxiety and depression, mindfulness, self-control, poor self-esteem and body issues, and navigating trauma symptoms.

I have had specific training conducting trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy both in person and via telehealth. My training and experience also includes incorporating holistic approaches to care and working through inter-generational and systemic trauma. I have had training in family therapy approaches and believe in creating a space for families to come together and learn to positively communicate so that they may self-create safe, secure, and healthy family systems. I also believe that one size does not fit all and I enjoy being able to incorporate things like art, movement, and music into my practice.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to self-discovery!

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!

Most of my experience is with children. Different modalities such as CBT, play therapy, person-centered therapy and trauma focused CBT can be used to support children in being successful in life. Children are unique individuals with different life experiences. Together, the goal is to seek ways to support them on life's journey.

My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in psychology, a Master of Special Education, Master of science in counseling with an add-on certificate in trauma informed care and marriage and family therapy. My experience includes teaching children with trauma and behaviors, the DLC and LRC classrooms. I am excited to help explore and guide you through life's journey.

In my free time, you will find me spending time with my family or with my dogs and horses or on a trip to the beach or mountains to take pictures.
