About me
We all seek meaning and purpose in life and I have found mine in supporting others on their personal journey. I am currently accepting new clients and offer a free thirty minute consultation to get to know each other.
I bring myself and my mental health experiences to our work together, to support you in an authentic, professional and compassionate way. I help you unravel the parts of life that are not working and provide tools to get you where you want to be.
We all have times when we feel buried beneath the challenges of life and we need a gentle, caring, compassionate hand to help us out. Whether you are looking for support for healing a specific mental health issue or you feel an overall sense of “this is not where I want to be in life,” you are in the right place.

Even though I officially became a mental health therapist later in life, it is a journey I have been on since as far back as I can remember. I have always been curious about my mental health. My patterns, behaviors and why I do the things I do or feel the way I feel. Born with a deep sense of empathy and compassion, I care deeply about other people’s feelings and experiences and am someone who wants to help others.
Now I bring the personal journey and intensive training to the professional realm as a professional mental health counselor in Oregon and Washington. I combine years worth of life experiences with pragmatic, evidenced based approaches to therapy to assist others on their journey to positive mental health. It is what I was seeking for many years, feeling deeply frustrated by not knowing what my contribution was, but all the while, I was preparing for it.
I bring post traumatic growth and deep understandings from my own, personal struggles with depression, grief and loss, chronic pain and anxiety. I walk the walk in my own life, as I am constantly learning new therapeutic modalities and processing my own wounding. No one is perfect and I bring loving kindness and self compassion to my work and to all those around me to be who we are, authentically and honestly in a safe environment.
50% of effective mental health therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Please reach out to me to get a sense of our chemistry and how I might be able to assist you.
