My experience serving couples, individuals, and families for the past decade, along with my education in relationship therapy, has shown me the immense power of relationships (with ourselves, significant others, and with nature) for personal growth and self-actualization. Working as a wilderness therapist has only solidified this view for me. I practice relationship therapy as well as relationship and life coaching. My role is to guide you in achieving the personal and relational growth you are looking for. Let's work together to create a healthy relationship and a nourishing and joyful existence out of your life.

Waitlist for new clients
Holistically-minded, future-focused, out-of-the-box solutions for every concern and situation. I enjoy working with clients who seek change and a future full of possibilities, despite past situations. Clients I work with often need help improving their self-esteem, navigating the intricacies of interpersonal communication, and working through blueprints of the past that are negatively impacting them in the present, working together to build a new future. I often function as a sounding board with the ability to see situations from a different perspective, while offering problem solving, guidance and unconditional regard.

My Practice Is Available For New Clients Immediately believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. A person's mental health and many common mental disorders are shaped by various social, economic, and physical environments operating at different stages of life. Good mental health is integral to human health and well-being. Risk factors for many common mental disorders are heavily associated with social inequalities. I don't discriminate against anyone, and I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).

Is it time to dive int the most tender places in yourself, your family, your world? Want to make way for peace inside and out and find your own definition of success?

Most therapy issues stem from issues with control (ie. phobias, controlling others, being "a control freak," feeling controlled by others, uncontrolled thinking, uncontrolled behaviors, etc.). Being out-of-control is extremely uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unavoidable. In therapy we discuss different ways to relate to the concept of control by increasing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to the inevitable uncertainties of life. With Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist you in identifying your "stuck" points and making the necessary pivots towards living a life you love.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, practicing in Beaverton, Oregon. I feel most drawn to existential psychotherapy and psychodynamic theories because they provide an excellent framework for understanding and processing attachment difficulties, complex trauma, childhood trauma, religious trauma, faith transitions, gender identity, gender dysphoria, and sexual orientation. I honor the innate autonomy, wisdom, and value of each of my clients to make the best choices for their life. I have training and experience in DBT, CBT, ADHD, and Gender Affirming Care.

Grief and trauma. When experienced, these can define us. But it doesn’t have to be that way. People are also shaped by their families and culture, their experiences, and the stories they create about themselves. I too have experienced grief and trauma and through our work together, I will help you find your voice and create a new narrative – one of empowerment and self-acceptance.

Everybody has a story. Often our stories about ourselves and others are formulated when we are very young, trying to make sense of what is going on around us. These stories are often untrue. However, the negative narrative continues into adulthood. I use therapy approaches and techniques that help clients re-author a different story about themselves, others and events that might have occurred. When this healing process occurs, I am inspired as a witness to my clients' transformation as they take steps from struggle to healing. I have been in practice for over 30 years and am a provider on most private insurance plans.

While counseling is a collaborative process, I have found it to be most successful and more sustaining when it is client-centered and driven. I have the honor to offer you my slice of proficiency. But, you are the expert in your life and it is thus your vision, your goals, and your strengths that will guide our work together. Wellness is a dynamic endeavor and our efforts will extend beyond the therapy room as we collaborate to exchange formal intervention and active treatment with informal support and on-going self-care. Counseling is an incredible guardrail. Yet, you are the pilot of your life's path and I but your humble guide.
