Approach

Who I Work With

I work with adults navigating trauma, relationship patterns, anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, and life transitions.

You may find yourself feeling disconnected from who you are, caught in familiar relationship dynamics, overwhelmed by emotions that seem difficult to make sense of, or exhausted from carrying more than feels sustainable. Maybe you understand some of what is happening but still feel unsure how to shift it, or you simply know that something feels stuck, heavy, or no longer quite right.

You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation or a perfectly defined goal. Therapy can be a place to begin making sense of what you are experiencing and what you want to move toward.

A Thoughtful, Integrative Approach

I take a relational, trauma-informed approach to therapy, shaped by the belief that meaningful change comes from understanding what’s underneath, not just what is happening, but why.

I offer collaborative, relational, trauma-informed therapy attuned to how our histories shape how we feel, connect, and move through the world. My approach is integrative and attachment-based, incorporating somatic practices, IFS-informed parts work, and neuroscience. I also offer EMDR when appropriate as part of a holistic approach.

Rather than applying a single framework, I pay attention to the full context of your life: your history, relationships, identity, environment, nervous system, and the larger systems you move through. Together, we follow the thread of what keeps resurfacing, exploring with curiosity how these patterns formed and how they are shaping your life now.

What It’s Like to Work Together

Therapy with me is collaborative, non-judgmental, grounded, and paced with care. I aim to create a space where you can be honest, unfiltered, and fully yourself, without needing to perform, minimize, or make your experience more acceptable.

This is a space for authenticity, reflection, and depth. Our sessions are grounded in warmth and support, with room for gentle challenge when it serves meaningful change. We will slow down, notice patterns as they happen, explore emotional and body-based responses, and create room for new ways of relating to yourself, others, and your life. We move at a pace that feels sustainable and supportive of deeper work.

About me

I’m a therapist who values depth, authenticity, and the complexity of being human. My work is shaped by a belief that people make sense in context, and that healing often begins when we can understand our patterns with more honesty, compassion, and curiosity.

I bring warmth, steadiness, and a willingness to offer perspective into the therapy room. I care about creating a space that feels human and real, where there is room for grief, humor, contradiction, uncertainty, and change.

I am a Professional Associate Counselor in Oregon and practice under the supervision of Bryce Taylor, LPC.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’m often spending time with my dog, Echo, getting outside when I can, camping, traveling, or enjoying good food. I’m drawn to the outdoors for many of the same reasons I value this work: space, perspective, and the chance to slow down enough to notice what’s here.
