About

I’m here to help you find freedom, peace and ease within the changes of your life. To help you understand the processes of your mind and how to use the wisdom of experiencing that understanding to heal.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and Alaska and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington. My clinical experience is diverse, having worked with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have treated individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders, impulse control and attentional difficulties, relationship problems, grief/loss, and family conflicts.

I practice a variety of therapeutic modalities including mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and gestalt expressive arts therapy. The therapeutic techniques that I use are tailored to the needs of the individual with an emphasis on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship.

My theoretical orientation is eclectic, drawing from several different philosophies including person-centered (humanistic), existential, transpersonal, ecopsychology, Buddhist psychology, and gestalt psychology. These philosophies propose that each person has within them an inherent transformative power to realize their human potential. My goal is to help my clients realize and take responsibility for this power, helping them look deeply at the unfolding process of experience, freeing them from unconscious relationship patterns that may be holding them back from realizing their potential.
