About Me:
I grew up in Michigan but have lived in Oregon for almost 15 years. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my partner and our dogs. I am currently in a therapy program that focuses heavily on philosophy, which has been fun and challenging. I also really enjoy working with native plants and working on my pollinator garden.
Treatment Orientation & Philosophy:
I utilize attachment, relational, and psychodynamic orientations in conjunction with other modalities to help clients heal from trauma, build and maintain meaningful relationships, and experience their lives more fully. I am a liberation-oriented therapist, which means that I believe therapy can build toward both collective and individual healing.
In our work together, we will engage in deeply curious exploration of your inner and outer worlds and the interactions between them. Over time, we will uncover and compassionately examine the underlying beliefs and patterns that drive your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. As we do this work together we will embrace the evolving and nonlinear process of healing and exploration. As your therapist, I will accept and embrace you exactly as you are while also challenging you to see yourself and your life in new, expanded ways. I believe that therapy is a place to bring your whole self.
