I am a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals aged 18+ who are struggling with finding their place in the world within its complexities and challenges.

Finding yourself and your values during unprecedented times of uncertainty and confusion is not only incredibly challenging, it is also a lonely experience. I believe that emotions such as loneliness, despair, anxiety, stress, and fear are less overwhelming when you are in a collaborative relationship that witnesses, listens, and understands the importance of nuance, radical compassion, and social justice. That is why I welcome various topics that include, but are not limited to gender, race, sex, sexuality, and other systems of oppression, as they are all contributing factors to everyone’s wellness. My passion is to help emerging adults and adults explore their authentic selves by processing life events, re-writing the inner stories they tell themselves to then empower them to make the changes they want to see.

My approach in therapy is that the clients are the experts of their own experiences, and that they can find the answers to their problems within themselves. I collaborate with them and personalize my methods to meet their individual needs. My therapeutic lens is informed by Person-Centered, Feminist, Narrative, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and level one Internal Family Systems (IFS) modalities to guide and assist clients to feel self-actualized and in alignment with themselves and their values. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Psychoeducation techniques as needed.

I am licensed in the state of Oregon. I hold a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University-Cascades (2022). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Anthropology/Sociology at the University of Puget Sound (2018). These studies, as well as my own multicultural background, have expanded my cultural competence and humility.
