Accepting Clients

I help clients find more security, connection, joy and passion through compassionate choreography of healthier relationship patterns.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Oregon

About My Clients

I work with couples, families and individuals ages 14 and up. I welcome LGBTQIPA2S clients, Latinx clients, immigrants, adult adoptees, poly and non-traditional relationship structures, clients seeking sex therapy, and clients recovering from acute and complex trauma. I support adult clients integrating psychedelic experiences.

My Background and Approach

Above all, I will work with you through a lens of social justice, compassion, and dignity. I help disrupt what feels stuck and encourage movement towards more fulfilling connections using systemic approaches like solution-focused and emotion-focused therapies. Attachment work is central to my process, along with evidence-based practices like CBT and mindfulness-based somatic interventions. Humor is one of my favorite coping tools.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As an exquisitely social species, unhealed intergenerational trauma and attachment wounds are one of our 'invisible' public health crises in America. People of all identities are touched by the pains of disconnection and interpersonal trauma, and these wounds impact every area of life. Conversely, when our relationships are working well, we are physically, emotionally and functionally more resilient and vibrant. Effective relational therapy supports human thriving at multiple levels. As an adoptee, attachment bonds are a natural area of clinical focus for me because they have deep personal relevance.
