Individual counseling

I offer both in-person sessions at my office in Oregon City, as well as virtually via a HIPPA-compliant site. Whatever brave reason you are seeking therapy, there is hope! I believe that within you lies the strength and capacity to heal. My desire as your therapist is to hold space for hope, compassion, curiosity, as we look inward and tend to your story.

Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as "parts work," I help you connect with the many inner pieces of yourself with curiosity and compassion, and tend to the stories and pain your system holds, If you're seeking therapy that goes deeper than coping skills and worksheets, you're in the right place. I am IFS Level 1 trained clinician through the IFS Institute.

As my client, I prioritize your goals and unique needs. Therapy is always tailored to your concerns, goals, and desires, but often my approach is influenced by IFS as it is a trauma-informed, clinically proven approach to counseling.

Fees and Focus

  • I SUPPORT ADULTS WHO ARE NAVIGATING:

    • Worry and fear that you can’t seem to quiet or find rest from

    • Late diagnosed Autism and the gifts and challenges of being neurodivergent in a world designed for neurotypicals

    • Difficulty allowing your feelings to be present or challenges making sense of emotions

    • The impact of having caregivers who were absent, distracted, or cold and the legacy of trauma

    • Caretaking and people pleasing tendencies- putting others needs above your own and finding yourself feeling drained and resentful!

    • Strong Inner critics that whisper (or shout!) messages of blame, judgement, and shame in your system

    • Emotional, mental, and spiritual scars left by restrictive religious communities and beliefs

  • I accept Oregon Health Plan Open Card and Care Oregon health insurance. I am happy to provide superbills upon request for claims to your insurance if you seek reimbursement for out of network services.

    For those paying out of pocket my rate is $125 per hour. I offer limited sliding scale slots as I am able- feel free to inquire about a reduced fee when we connect if you may be eligible.

    I accept credit/debit and healthcare reimbursement cards as well as cash. Payments are set up before we meet through a billing form which is sent to you and billed after each session.

Space Matters

As a neurodivergent individual and ND affirming practitioner, it’s important to me to welcome the sensory needs and preferences of my clients. In the office, you will have multiple lighting, smell, seating, and tactile options available to you, as well as access to a small walking trail on the property if walking or outdoor sessions feel supportive. Sand Tray therapy is available as an alternative way to process and express.
