As we walk through life, we are bound to struggle in one way or another. Sometimes, when the struggle feels overwhelming, we can look outside of ourselves for a helping hand.

To participate in therapy is to collaborate in a safe and accepting space where you can learn practical skills that facilitate meaningful long-lasting positive change in yourself and in your relationships. I believe that it is through a process of self-discovery and practice that we are able to empower ourselves to skillfully make choices that lead us toward the outcomes we desire. As someone who has grappled with mental health, I know that change is possible but not always easy. I also know that when we take responsibility, hold ourselves accountable, and do the good work, we can achieve our goals.

I primarily work with teenage and adult individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and personal identity development. I practice from an integrated lens, which means that I pull from different theoretical orientations to address your goals for therapy. My primary therapeutic approaches include restoration therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy.

My partner and I are Oregon natives, and we live in Portland with our two dogs. When I’m not in session, I enjoy spending time with my significant other, exploring the city’s rich foodie culture, walking our dogs, and skiing.
