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.

When I'm not doing therapy you'll find me hanging out with my baby daughter and partner, attempting to make progress on the stack of books on my nightstand, traveling to new places, making art, cooking, and spending time in nature.

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.
