Personal Statement
As a licensed counselor, trauma therapist, and relationship coach, I work with clients to develop and maintain safe, healthy relationships with others. I primarily work with individuals and couples in alternative lifestyles, such as non-monogamous, kinky, "ravers," and "burners."
I specialize in helping people overcome past trauma and abuse, as well as those currently struggling in relationships or healing from a breakup or divorce. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for all of my clients to feel safe, heard, and understood.
In therapy, I often use a harm-reduction approach to help my clients explore authentic experiences while staying safe. I have 16+ years of experience volunteering with DanceSafe.

My wonderful office is located in downtown Portland. I have a beautiful view of the library, and the trees are the most wonderful to look at during fall.
