About

Here you will find a bit about who I work with and my approach to counseling and mental health.

ABOUT YOU

Who I Work With

I work with individual adults across Washington and Oregon.

Ideally, I partner with people who are ready to explore change. Real therapy is active work, and the process thrives when you are introspective, open to practicing new habits outside of our sessions, and holding a spark of optimism for your future.

And yet, I know that is rarely how someone arrives at an online counselor directory. More often, you click through websites hoping against hope: "Maybe, just maybe, this person will get it and can help me—because I have run out of solutions and feel completely hopeless."

Wherever you are starting from is okay. My personal and professional background allows me to sit calmly and safely with hard lessons, traumatic events, and deep loss. I do not believe in unforgivable acts. Where there is life, there is hope.

Let's do some of the heavy lifting together.

Professional Orientation and Approach

How do we begin? We start by creating a safe, supportive space built entirely around you. Together, we will explore the full context of your life—your history, your environment, and your unique experiences. Understanding your past helps us make sense of your present, ensuring that the work we do inside our sessions actually supports your real, daily life.

My approach balances the big picture with practical tools. I blend traditional talk therapy with actionable techniques from cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies (CBT and DBT). These give you concrete ways to manage your actions, reactions, and emotional states.

Because deep healing often goes beyond just talking, I also integrate body- and brain-based approaches—including EMDR, neurofeedback, mindfulness, and intentional social connection—to help heal deeper, unconscious patterns.

I don't believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all structures. I believe in the innate power of the individual to heal, and I am here to help you unlock that power on your own terms.
