Are you living the life you want to be living?

Or are you feeling held back by anxiety, depression, or patterns that no longer serve you?

If so, you are not alone – and you don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy can be a space to gently untangle what’s weighing on you so you can begin moving toward a life that feels more connected, balanced, and alive.

Together, we’ll work to transform suffering into growth by building self-compassion, increasing mind-body awareness, and learning to step out of common avoidance traps like procrastination, emotional eating, or using substances to cope.

I am a licensed, certified Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples and families. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression and weight-related concerns.

I currently serve therapy clients in Oregon and Hawaii, with all sessions offered through a secure online format.
