It takes strength and courage to notice when we are feeling stuck and need the support of counseling. My gentle, non-judgmental approach will help you every step of the way towards your individual goals.

I offer individual counseling sessions for late teens to adults. Areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, learning and neurodivergent challenges, body image, relational difficulties, trauma, and grief.

Sessions are person centered, and individualized. We will work together on creating goals that support your growth and progress. I offer specific mindfulness and somatic prompts and exercises rooted in self compassion to help improve self awareness, emotional regulation, focus and mood.

We can meet virtually, in person in my private office in Portland, or get outside in alternative settings such as hiking or walking. My approach draws from somatic awareness, attachment theory, compassionate mindfulness, parts work, energy, positive and depth psychology. I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapies as well as long term care.

On my free time I enjoy, hiking, playing with my goldendoodle Sosuke, snowboarding, seeing live music, and spending time with family and friends.

At the moment I am not in network with insurance providers and fee is due at the end of each session. I provide superbills for out of network reimbursement.

A sliding scale for fees may be offered on a case by case basis.
