In our work together, I see my role as assisting you to clarify and meet your goals.
My hope is that I can help you to tap into existing strengths, build upon existing resources and learn new ways to be present in order to improve overall quality of life and well-being. I work primarily with individuals.
Below are my main areas of specialty:
Utilizing EMDR to treat a variety of presenting concerns.
Working with clients with high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Working with young adults and adults with chronic medical conditions (Chronic Pain, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and others)
During our sessions we can work together to address issues such as medical trauma, disease management burnout, grief/loss, anxiety, social stressors and adjustment to managing/living independently. I am passionate about working with clients to improve self care, access existing internal resources and learn new stress management techniques.
One of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between the client(s) and the therapist. I want to make sure that, in addition to my training and experience meeting your needs, my therapeutic style and personality are a good fit for you as well.

In Person and Telehealth Appointments
I strive to make therapy as accessible as possible. Working together we can decide which appointment style suits your needs. Telehealth appointments are available to clients physically located in Oregon.
Therapy
I meet with people for weekly or bimonthly appointments based on your needs. Appointments can be via telehealth or in person as my schedule allows.
Intensives
EMDR Intensives allow you to focus on a target or goal. Intensives can consist of longer sessions or multiple days within the same week. We will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan that is right for you. If you are interested in Intensives, please indicate that on your inquiry form.
