Helping clients find acceptance and peace within mind, body, and relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping individuals find growth and better health through therapy. I have specialization and interest in treating anxiety, disordered eating, body image, trauma, pregnancy and postpartum issues.

I utilize a blend of approaches, including mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR and more.  As a relational therapist, I also bring focus to the ways in which your struggles are impacting your relationships and how relationship dynamics are impacting you.  We will work collaboratively to help you understand yourself and others, change what you can, and increase acceptance.  Meaning, purpose and valued living are often part of the conversation.

Collaborative, Compassionate, Holistic

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon.  My license number is C2189.

Since 2003, I have worked with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, body image and perinatal issues.  This work has occurred in a variety of settings, including private practice, crisis centers, managed care, partial hospital and intensive outpatient programs.

I bring humor and a practical, holistic approach to my work.  I do not assume everything is psychological.
