About Me

I've been a therapist in the greater Portland area for over 13 years. I work to create a safe, compassionate space for exploring and healing the wounds that contribute to current suffering or distress. I believe that our past experiences can shape the ways we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to the world around us—even when we don't fully understand why we react the way we do.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. I draw from EMDR and other therapeutic approaches to help clients understand patterns that may no longer be serving them, process difficult experiences, and develop a greater sense of safety and connection within themselves. I believe healing is not about erasing the past, but about changing the way it lives in the present.

I especially value creating a therapeutic relationship where you can feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. Together, we can work at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful to you, with the goal of helping you feel more grounded, connected, and able to move through life with greater freedom.
