I’m a compassionate counselor who specializes in providing expert guidance and support for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, sexuality, sexual health and addiction, I work with both adults and teens.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or uncertain. Anxiety can weigh you down, turning everyday tasks into mountains. Depression may leave you feeling disconnected, draining your energy and joy. Addiction, too, can take hold, impacting every part of your life and making it hard to feel in control. On top of this, trauma, sexuality, and sexual health issues can add layers of complexity to your emotional well-being, leaving you feeling isolated or confused.
With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ADHD treatment, addiction counseling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care, I offer a blended approach tailored to meet your unique needs. I have experience working in hospital settings with clients facing acute challenges, as well as in private practice, helping people address growing concerns around anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and sexual health. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand and heal the deeper layers of your experience.
But there is always light amidst the darkness. I’m dedicated to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and wholeness. With decades of experience and specialized training, I offer a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without fear of judgment.
Whether you’re grappling with the relentless grip of anxiety, the heavy burden of depression, or the destructive cycle of addiction, I believe in your innate resilience and potential for growth. Through evidence-based therapies, personalized treatment plans, and unwavering support, I will empower you to reclaim your life and rediscover joy, purpose, and meaning.
Your well-being is my top priority. I understand that seeking help can be a courageous step. Together, let’s embark on a transformative journey towards healing, hope, and lasting recovery. You don’t have to face your struggles alone—reach out today and take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow.
My Approach to Counseling
My experience with inpatient mental health at Portland Providence Medical Center and private counseling practice have given me a broad perspective on working with individuals with varying needs. Counseling is the most rewarding work I have found in my own journey. Allowing someone to grow in a safe, open and support environment is my utmost goal. I have helped guide many people towards a healthier happier lives.
I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I also integrate internal parts work such as you see in IFS or internal family systems counseling. With the uniqueness of each client my approach is to find the best framework mixture for each client individually.
I am always learning from my groups, colleagues, training and even my clients. I focus on evidence based treatments, but we know the relationship between the counselor and client is paramount to success. With all my clients I let them know that I will never be offended if I am not the person to help them on this journey and will do my best to help them find that person.
Counseling for Executives and Business Leaders
I have a specialty in coaching and counseling business leaders and executives. My work history includes 15 years of leading people and companies and the unique stress and difficulties that come with those careers are an area I deeply understand. In our coaching or counseling sessions we will work on techniques to improve your happiness and lower your stress levels that come with the weight of these roles.
