I am a seasoned clinician at Barefoot and Balanced with over 20 years of experience serving clients in Oregon who are suffering from trauma, grief, women's issues, stress management, or life transitions. As a certified EMDR practitioner, I find this type of therapy is often highly beneficial for those suffering from lingering emotional and psychological distress. Used in combination with mindfulness techniques, I have helped clients reprogram traumatic memories so that it doesn’t take a long time to experience the relief that comes from lightened symptoms and deep emotional healing. My therapeutic approach is warm and supportive, and I will encourage you to tap into your own inner wisdom and insight so that you can be your most authentic self. I believe your pain, illness, or problem is a catalyst for change, and that your heart is one of the most powerful tools you possess to help guide you on your wellness journey. I also provide licensed nutritional coaching with a focus on exercise and healthy living so that clients can get the support they need more holistically. If you're feeling overwhelmed by past experiences, or seeking peace and a deeper connection with the present, I am here to support you. Let's explore your path to recovery together and find the treatment that works best for you.
