Facing our mental health head on can feel like the most intimidating and impossible task; it gets tough when we decide to take that hard, honest look at ourselves in the mirror. Therapy isn’t easy, and if it were, everyone would do it. Whatever barriers you feel are preventing you from achieving mental wellness, I am happy to support you as you navigate those obstacles. My philosophy as your therapist is that it’s my job to help you learn the tools necessary to achieve your healing and recovery goals.

I am a registered therapist associate with the state of Oregon. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University’s rigorous and comprehensive program. After completing an 18-month long internship in a community mental health setting, I am moving into private practice. I have spent nearly 5 years working in mental health, though I arguably have a lifetime of experience with it. I am currently offering individual psychotherapy for adults. I utilize choice theories that allow me to build a comprehensive understanding of each client as an individual through a holistic approach. My preferred approaches include person-centered therapy, humanistic therapy, holistic therapy, strength-based therapy, attachment theory, and Feminist theory. Using a trauma-informed perspective, I work with each client to create an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their mental wellness goals. My goal is for my client to feel safe, heard, and empowered during our sessions through compassion and psychoeducation. I currently specialize in trauma, attachment, addiction, and ADHD. Additionally, I work well with depression, anxiety, mood regulation, LGBTQIA+ issues, neurodivergence, and grief. The evidence-based methods that I use include, but are not limited to, CBT, DBT, MI, SFBT, mindfulness, and neurocounseling. Neurocounseling is a method that incorporates neuroscience into counseling and helps us understand how mental health can change our brains, and vice versa.
