Welcome! I’m glad you found your way here.

“Listening is the oldest and perhaps the most powerful tool of healing. It is often through the quality of our listening, and not the wisdom of our words, that we are able to effect the most profound changes in the people around us. When we listen, we offer with our attention an opportunity for wholeness. Our listening creates sanctuary for the homeless parts within the other person. That which has been denied, unloved, devalued by themselves and by others.  That which is hidden.  In this culture, the soul and the heart too often go homeless. Listening creates a holy silence. When you listen generously to people, they can hear truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone. Eventually, you may be able to hear, in everyone and beyond everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.” -Rachel Naomi Remen

It is an honor to accompany another’s unfolding process and I am grateful to each person who entrusts me with their stories. I strive to cultivate a culture of presence, kindness, and responsiveness to each person who comes through my door.

I am licensed to practice in Oregon, Washington, and California, and can offer sessions by zoom to clients in any of these states.

I am a Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) clinician, trained in working with pain and other body symptoms through these mind-body models. I am also pursuing certification in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).  I draw from ISTDP’s focus on noticing what is happening in the body, understanding the ways we protect ourselves in relationships, and gently connecting with emotions beneath the surface so they can be fully experienced and healed. In addition to this, I have strong experience in interpersonal neurobiology and studied one-on-one and in small groups with Bonnie Badenoch from 2015-2024. I have deep interest in other modalities and new learnings that are always emerging in this field and pursue regular ongoing training on a wide variety of topics. Additionally, I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP) and have been leading interpersonal process groups since 2016.

I take seriously a commitment to my own healing. I am indebted to the teachers and wonderful therapists I have known, and I aim to bring the wisdom and compassion they have shared with me into my daily life and into my professional work with others.

I am an active member of several professional organizations, including the Oregon Psychological Association and the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), and I do regular ongoing training through these and other groups.
