I am a licensed mental health provider in Oregon and Washington. I provide psychotherapy over a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform across Oregon and Washington state.

I offer primarily weekday early morning & weekend appointments.

Specialties :

• Grief & loss

• Life transitions such as the transition to parenthood, divorce, aging and menopause

• Pregnancy loss including loss due to pregnancy termination

• Unbiased support for decisions about whether to continue a pregnancy

• Neonatal loss including care for those who are continuing a pregnancy knowing their baby will not survive

• Pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety

• Support for parents and other caregivers of children with special needs

My Approach:

Clients typically describe me as warm, direct, engaging and helpful. The most important thing that I can offer to you is the ability to listen well and ask skillful questions in order to support living a life that is meaningful even in the midst of great difficulty.

Therapeutic approaches that I draw from include:

• Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an attachment-based approach which focuses on coping with life transitions, addressing conflict and working through grief and loss

• Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), a short-term, goal-focused therapy focusing on constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach focused on learning how to identify and change thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI),  a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication that is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by exploring the person’s reason for change with acceptance and compassion.

• Mindfulness-based approaches, focused on highly accessible tooIs to help you be more present in your daily life.

I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds and identities and strive to foster a sense of inclusion and equity in my work. I continually seek opportunities to learn and grow in my understanding of how to dismantle systems of oppression starting with my own conscious and unconscious values, beliefs and biases. I am an LGBTQ+ embracing provider.

Clinical Supervision:

I am an approved CSWA supervisor through the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers.
