About Me
As a therapist, I'm down-to-earth, welcoming, and creative. I believe in radical self-compassion and acceptance, and in meeting you where you are without judgment. I honor where you’ve been because there is a lot of wisdom you’ve cultivated throughout your life, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I trust and highlight your unique insights and I bring gentle, encouraging challenge to areas where you might feel stuck. I'm interested in dreams, archetypes, stories, and legends as frameworks and vehicles for healing, self-understanding, and meaning-making, and love to incorporate these aspects into therapy work.

In my personal life, I’m a photographer, bird enthusiast, writer, and a devoted servant to an ancient cat (who might make a rare appearance on-screen during telehealth sessions - sorry / you’re welcome). I love to read, travel, swim, and cook, and I try to get outside in nature as much as I can.

Education, Training, and Credentials
I'm a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in the state of Oregon (R8044) with a masters degree in Marriage, Couple, & Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I am supervised by Jessica Thomas, Ph.D, LMFT. I have training and experience working with individuals across the age spectrum, couple relationships, co-parenting relationships, and with families. I also engage in continuing education on a regular basis. Prior to becoming a therapist I worked in the nonprofit world and volunteered working in emergency shelter with women and children fleeing domestic violence. I've been working with clients as a therapist since 2021 when I served in a community mental health setting working with youth and families during my graduate school internship, and have been working in private practice since 2022.
