About My Clients
I work well with clients that are curious, open, and honest. You can be depressed and still have those seeds that you would like to cultivate. Looking at one's holistic life, including meaning-making, values, and dreams are all an important part of the therapeutic insight process. If this resonates with you, we might be a good fit.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW #L11303) in the state of Oregon with an Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University and Bachelor’s degrees in Philosophy and Spanish from the University of Oregon. I completed Level 1 Internal Family Systems training with the IFS institute in 2023 and am currently in IFS consultation and completing additional training. I have completed training in DBT and ACT and also spent several years in formal Zen meditation training.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a heartfelt person with a passion for inquiry into the experience of being human. The day that I think I have arrived at the destination is the day that I hope somebody calls my bluff. Previous versions of myself would be amazed at who I am today and the fact that I am so satisfied with my life. I have a deep respect for the versions of myself that have suffered deeply and continue to inform my experience today and I believe that where I am now is just a moment in time as well, as with all of us.
