I believe that all humans have the right and ability to reach their fullest potential and embrace their wholeness. To support my clients with this, I practice an integrated approach to counseling, incorporating therapies that will help you access your brain, body, and mind with compassion and understanding. You can expect my therapy to draw from cognitive therapies, interpersonal neurobiology, parts work, and existential (meaning-making) therapy. I maintain a client-centered focus, allowing clients to determine their own goals and be experts on their own lives. My philosophy also incorporates themes of liberation, feminism, and client wholeness. Clients are encouraged to explore their relationship with these themes on an interpersonal and intrapersonal level. My clients are adult individuals who are typically struggling with issues of living such as anxiety, relational issues, and trauma. I am especially interested in working with people who are experiencing stress/grief/anxiety in relation to climate change.
I use she/her pronouns and identify as a white, straight, cis-woman. I am currently able-bodied, and living with recurring pain. I am a Pacific Northwest local and love this region for its trees, water, birds, and swimming season. I enjoy biking, hiking, camping and backpacking, birding, drinking coffee in the sun, and reading novels.
