I can work with individuals living in OR or WA as those are the states I am licensed in. Clients tell me I have a warm, authentic approach and that they feel heard, seen, and understood. I like to bring in a sense of humor if appropriate and have found that humor can be a very helpful coping device! As is often the case for therapists, I have experienced my own struggles and loss which has helped me have empathy for others’ suffering while also hopeful in their ability to persevere despite challenges. I am committed to doing my own work to ensure that I practice the self-care and self-awareness that I recommend to clients. I strongly believe in equal rights for all and I am LGBTQIA+ allied.
