Life can feel overwhelming when we get caught in the busyness of everyday life. During those times, it can feel lonely and frightening to navigate everything on your own, the thoughts that keep you up at night, the sense that no one truly understands your struggles. Sometimes, the hardest part is continuing to reach out when it feels like people around you have let you down. As a person who has walked that journey, I want you to know that you are not alone, and I'm glad you are here.

I value listening to my clients’ stories and walking alongside them. I believe that having a consistent, warm, and calm presence is an important part of healing. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to unpack what you have been carrying. I will sit with you through difficult moments and celebrate your progress, including the small but meaningful steps along the way.

CREDENTIALS & APPROACH

I hold a Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Oregon State University, and am a Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Oregon. I have three years of experience working with older adolescents and adults in an outpatient setting.

My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), grounded in a Person-Centered perspective. We will explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, along with seeking resolution within the problem, working together to build new patterns that better support your well-being. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, while recognizing how past experiences can shape your present life. Through empathy, understanding, and steady support, I work to help you navigate challenges and move toward healing and self-discovery.
