I hold a Bachelors of Science in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Linfield University (formerly Linfield College) in McMinnville, Oregon; and a Masters of Arts in Applied Psychological Sciences from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.

I am here to help you work through the hard times, stop the anxious spiraling, and process the general craziness of life. I am an anxiety specialist who can actually help you feel like you are taking back control of your life. If you are a parent looking for someone who can help you with parenting anxiety or guilt, I am here to help. Maybe you are looking to get the spark back in your relationship; whether you are alone, or coming to me as a couple, I am here to give you a place where you will feel listened to.

My approach is focused first and foremost on being compassionate and empathic; I want to relate to you as a person first. I want to empower you to build resilience and find tools that work for you in the here and now. I am here to offer a fresh perspective to help you navigate life’s rough waters. I provide a welcoming environment to help you process your emotions so that you may gain a deeper perspective on the situation. My work is holistic and collaborative, and I offer a “from the root” approach to healing. I value working with diverse populations, ensuring equitable access of care to all, and I have a strong interest in social justice matters.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) coping skills, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my individual work. I am a Gottman trained therapist, which is the approach I use when I work with couples and as well as in relationship work. 

I look forward to meeting you and beginning your healing journey.
