Hi! I see wellness as the innate interconnections between bodies, minds, and relationships. By tapping into these connections, people and communities can find their own paths to healing.

A little bit about me: I love a good cup of tea and a chat. I spend my free time reading, cuddling my dogs, hanging out with my loved ones, learning in community, and laughing.

I recently completed my Master’s degree in mental health counseling with a speciality in Somatic Counseling at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I’m a Registered Counselor Associate, which means that even though I’m not yet fully licensed, I’m authorized by the state of Oregon to work with clients, and I receive regular supervision from a licensed therapist.

My experience includes:

- Counseling adult individuals with a variety of experiences including anxiety, depression, developmental and relational trauma (i.e. attachment wounding, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, etc.) grief, and transpersonal/spiritual experiences.

- Working with LGBTQ+ teens and adults therapeutically and providing affirming reproductive and sexual health education.

- Supporting transgender teens within their family and school systems.

- Facilitating a variety of therapeutic and educational groups, including groups for LGBTQ+ clients, Teen/Tween Support Groups, Couples Therapy Groups, and health education groups.

- Providing case management and mentor support to people facing housing crisis.

- Working in public health and community-based settings.

For me, therapy is an in-the-moment, co-created dance that provides connection and healing. My approach is based in somatic therapy, but it is also eclectic drawing from humanistic/person-centered therapy, polyvagal theory, trauma-informed approaches, attachment, multicultural/social justice systems paradigms, and parts-work. This provides a client centered experience that supports you in achieving your therapeutic goals. Somatic counseling is a form of therapythat brings the body into the therapeutic relationship. In session, this can look like movement,touch, and other mindfulness or breathwork practices in addition to traditional talk therapy.

Therapy with me will feel holistic and relational.
