About me
Are you ready for a change? Are you feeling stuck in the same patterns and stress over and over? You are more powerful than you know. I specialize in doing personal growth and deep healing work that can help you discover more peace and hepful ways to navigate stress and life's challenges. Find freedom from old anxieties, unfinished grief, old habits and past hurts. I can support you to learn to live from a place of energy, joy and intention. Together we can create the change you want and manage the fears, barriers and uncertainties that come up along the way.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Oregon and Washington. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and I truly love what I do. I like to blend some traditional talk therapy (like Cognitive Behavioral work) with deeper emotional work like Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed mindfulness and somatic work. I'm a believer that therapy is a collaborative process. I will bring compassionate listening, new perspectives to try out and new habits and behaviors to see what works best for you. I also trust that ultimately you know best what feels right to you and what needs attention and care in your life.
The most passionate work I do is with adults who are ready to make changes in their lives. I work with issues like anxiety, self-esteem, codependency and people pleasing as well as more specific challenges with infertility, pregnancy and postpartum concerns. With a combination of intention, insight and action, the change and healing you want is possible. Please contact me with questions you have about working together. I look forward to meeting you!
