About Me:  

I am a lifelong Oregonian. I enjoy spending my time exploring the Pacific Northwest, crafting, reading, and spending time with my beloved dog. 

​

Treatment Philosophy: 

My treatment approach is founded on a belief that people have a core self, distinct from what brings them to therapy, capable of overcoming complex, painful experiences. I help clients understand the core function of their concerns as attempts to solve present or past problems, rather than personal deficits. I partner with people to harness their inherent capacity to develop solutions. I bring a curiosity about how presenting concerns arise for each unique individual or family system without making assumptions. I value authenticity, humor, and ease within the therapeutic relationship. Areas of particular interest for me include: helping women to heal histories of trauma and supporting couples.
