“Forget your perfect offering; there is a crack in everything, and that’s how the light gets in”. -  Leonard Cohen

I have had the privilege of working with clients in the Portland area and beyond since 2007.  I hold a Bachelor’s degree (BS) in Psychology from Lewis and Clark College and a Master’s degree (MA) in Marriage and Family Therapy from George Fox University. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #C2844) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #T0885) with the State of Oregon Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists.

I work with a broad range of clients, including adults, couples, families, and adolescents on a wide variety of issues. I have extensive experience working with trauma and use EMDR with an attachment and somatic lens to facilitate the healing process. I have a special interest in working with partners, whether in business or in life, on the personal and relational issues that either support or challenge a healthy partnership dynamic. I have a heart for working with co-parents and families facing the unique complications of divorcing or blending. And I embrace the challenge of working through the many transitions we encounter along life’s path.

I am committed to continuing education through training workshops, conferences, and reading on a wide variety of mental health and relationship related topics including interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, trauma, ethics, grief and resiliency.
