I help working Moms (and Dads too) to move from feeling frazzled, overwhelmed and unraveled to towards a sense of serenity, peace, intention, and joy. My clients are busy, bright motivated parents who seek assistance in juggling their many roles. (I also do work with clients who are not parents!)
I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Lewis & Clark College in 1997, following undergraduate work in biology and psychology at Western Oregon State College. After graduating, I worked in several residential treatment agencies. During that time I worked as a therapist with children, adolescents, their families and their community support liaisons and as clinical manager supervising and supporting the treatment team. After obtaining my counseling license (Licensed Professional Counselor in State of Oregon) in 2003 I left agency work to focus full time on my private practice.
I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral, DBT, Trauma Informed, Mindfulness based approach in my therapy work with individuals (14 years and up). I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions in my North Portland office.
