I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) that always strives to express a collaborative, warm, empathetic, and compassionate working relationship with my clients. One of my main aspirations in therapy is to meet clients where they are, not where societal expectations or biases feel they should be. My belief is that each person is unique as is their story, and my treatment emphasizes this.
With the aid of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy (or whole body), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I personalize treatment to each client that is appropriate and goal-directed.
I treat clients from all stages and walks of life, including children, grounded in the principles of equity and inclusivity, and I am dedicated to serving all clients with dignity and respect. I specialize in the treatment of trauma related disorders, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have specialized certification and training in trauma, and I am is currently working towards my certification in somatic therapy.
I have a deep passion for working with clients of the military and military families, including active duty and those transitioning to civilian life. I also enjoy working with peripartum, postpartum and fertility clients, and anyone who feels they have experienced trauma. With this said, I love seeing all clients that are motivated for change.
I have my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hood College. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks with my dog, snuggling up with a good book and my cat, spending time with family, knitting, engaging in Vagal nerve toning exercises and yoga, and watching documentaries and true crime.
