About My Clients
I believe that throughout our lives we are seeking to deepen our self-awareness, learn & grow from our experiences, & aim to break patterns of behavior that are no longer benefiting us. While we’re doing the best we can with the knowledge we have, there may be times that we need additional support. My expertise involves working with teens & adults who are struggling with mood difficulties, relationships, and/or are survivors of trauma; whether that be from experiences in child or adulthood.
My Background and Approach
I received my M.A. in Professional Mental Health Counseling in 2017. I'm currently licensed by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors & am also a Nationally Certified Counselor. I started my Mental Health career in 2013; working as a Skills Trainer in residential settings with adults living with severe & persistent mental illness. I began providing outpatient counseling in 2016. I utilize various methods in my work to ensure each clients’ treatment is uniquely tailored to appropriately meet their needs. These methods include, but are not limited to: Brainspotting & other trauma-focused interventions, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic & Attachment-Based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) & Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving & Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered & Relational Therapy, Strengths-Based & Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I enjoy working with a variety of folks and welcome people of all age, gender, sexual orientation, race, and religion. I strongly believe in the power of connection, empathy, & compassion and understand how important it is to feel these things in our relationships with the people in our support network. My hope is to provide my clients with a sense of safety and security through the development of a strong and authentic therapeutic relationship - in which they feel supported, validated, seen, and heard. This is a judgment-free zone!
