About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been working with people in mental health, schools and social service settings for the past 20 years. After earning my Master’s degree in Counseling from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon in 2005 I worked in community mental health providing home-based individual and family therapy with clients who were involved in the child welfare system. I have also worked in an eating disorder program helping people overcoming eating disorders, improve body image and develop self-acceptance. I also have knowledge and experience helping people from all different backgrounds overcome a variety of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, family and relationship problems, self-esteem and parenting.
I partner with her clients using a focus on their strengths to help them cope with challenges, achieve their goals and find joy and meaning in their lives. I use an eclectic approach in therapy including person-centered and evidence-based treatment such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution-Focused Treatment and Motivational Interviewing. I also enjoy practicing mindfulness and helping my clients explore the benefits of it for mental health.
