Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, and suffering. I believe that individuals and families can tap into their inner strength to repair and grow new resilience with guidance and support. My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide sup...
I m a licensed professional counselor with a background in community mental health. I bring to my practice years of work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, PTSD, inter-generational trauma, substance abuse and addiction issues, grief and loss and life transitions. I utilize brief therapy modalities in my practice along with longer-term models like Jungian and other depth psychologies. Within this framework I embrace an existential paradigm, focusing on the four ult...
I'm a bilingual, bicultural, working-class immigrant and white cisgender woman who grew up in three distinct countries. My lived experience shapes my belief that culture is vital for understanding both myself and my clients. Having navigated cultural transitions, I deeply empathize with the challenges faced by immigrants and those balancing multiple cultural and racial identities. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, providing inclusive and affirming care. My practice integrates multicultu...
My style is warm, direct and collaborative. I aim to identify patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that limit one’s ability to pursue their goals. These patterns are often the legacy of successful coping at an earlier stage of life, but no longer serve one’s best interest. Exploring the underlying forces can open space to make new choices, grow, and alleviate suffering....

I see counseling or therapy as an active, collaborative process. I consider it an honor to go on that journey with clients and build a working relationship focused on understanding the process of change and growth, whatever the context and conditions affecting it. I believe we can learn how to best understand our personal situation from a place of acceptance and gratitude, and how to make the most skillful decisions to best enable us to utilize a sense of purpose and maintain appreciation of our...

I see our work together as a team that balances putting in the hard work while understanding you have to have some laughs along the way! We collaborate to create your goals and methods to achieve those goals that play into your strengths. Above all modalities, the therapeutic relationship is what I value most in our work together. I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy. Despite my degree in art therapy, my dual license allows ...
Student life involves transitions, both micro and macro. At what other time in our lives do we revise schedules on a quarterly basis? Acclimating to a new schedule and pace, while continuing to attend to family, friends, and work is daunting. And somewhere in the midst of those demands, is a continued need to care for yourself. People often work with me when they are questioning their relationships with important people in their lives, as well as when they are learning more about the relatio...
Hello! I am a therapist in private practice offering 1:1 therapy via telehealth and in person. I have worked at several college counseling centers (Lewis & Clark, Reed College, etc.) and understand the various dynamics of being a student. My initial focus is to foster an environment to provide some relief from the pressing issues you currently face while also providing room to explore larger contributing factors such as interpersonal struggles, societal pressures, unhealthy family patterns and p...
As an art therapist and counselor, I utilize the process and product of art making to support individuals in discovering insight, moving toward growth, and finding balance. Art therapy can offer an alternative means of communication to express difficult emotions or experiences that may feel impossible to put into words. You do not have to identify as an artist to find healing through art therapy. Art making is always optional and no artistic skills or previous experience is needed. If you would ...
I am a queer fat femme who practices at the intersections of oppression, grief, trauma and liberation. I believe healing and liberation are our birthright. And yes, that means I believe that you can heal from complex, developmental and intergenerational trauma. And yes, I believe I can help. But when I say I can help, what I really mean is: I understand that the deep wisdom of your body knows the exact right way to heal. My job as your therapist is to help you learn to connect with this deep som...
My clients struggle like you do. Despite being intelligent, kind, and creative, life is hard. When we first begin therapy, my clients feel like their relationships are lacking. They’re having issues with family, friends, and partners. They wonder why they keep having the same experiences in relationships, and what they can do about it. They wish they knew why things keep playing out in the same way. They feel like they’re not good enough, and that it’s their fault. All too often, they...
