Starting therapy can be an overwhelming experience, and I want to make it as approachable as possible. I’m passionate about supporting people through the process of figuring out how to navigate their lives while coping with various challenges. My background is in hospice and home health care and mental health at the Portland Veteran's Hospital. My style is casual, collaborative, and genuine. My role is to listen with kindness, to believe people are doing the best they can to manage in difficult circumstances, to be present, and to be honest. I believe you are the best expert at knowing yourself and part of my role is to help bring out your own expertise as we walk this journey together.
