As a trained psychotherapist, I'm here to support you along your path. I'm here to help you better understand yourself and to lead the life you're truly capable of. Over the last 12 years, I've worked with children, adolescents, and families from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. During this time, I have supported patients and their families in working towards goals of improving coping strategies, increasing positive social skills, and developing their ability to tolerate distress, while reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. My experience in mental health is extensive. I worked with children, teenagers and families at the highest levels of care in Oregon before returning to complete my masters in social work. My post graduate experience involved helping to launch the first partial hospitalization program for teens in Oregon, which is where I gained my first license. My practice is informed by Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), CBT, brief solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. As we develop a therapeutic alliance, I'm dedicated to working alongside you throughout every step of the process. We will create a safe space that allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I look forward to building a relationship with you.
