Eating disorder and body image therapy that meets you without shame, and without a number.

Maybe your relationship has become a source of stress and anxiety. You’re walking on eggshells, afraid of another conflict. Simple conversations escalate quickly, and you want to communicate better, but you don’t know how. Or perhaps you’ve lost touch with the person you used to be, the one with energy, interests, and passions. Anxiety and trauma are running your life, and you’re unsure how to regain control. You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, family conflicts, parenting challenges, trauma, or personal difficulties, you deserve support.

I practice Solution-Focused therapy and incorporate elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. Together, we can identify and harness these resources to create a more fulfilling, meaningful life aligned with who you are when you are at your best.

For PTSD, trauma-related distress, and phobias, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy, a highly effective, non-intrusive technique that helps reprocess traumatic memories through guided imagery, without requiring you to relive or disclose painful experiences. This method can provide relief in just a few sessions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Culture, identity, and spirituality can be important aspects of a person’s life, and I will always strive to welcome a person’s full self. My practice is sensitive to religious, spiritual, and cultural diversity, and I am LGBTQ+ friendly. 

As your therapist, I aim to provide a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe to share openly without fear of judgment. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and respected.

Reaching out for help can feel daunting, but taking that first step is a courageous act of self-care. I look forward to meeting you!

My Approach:

As a systemic therapist, I believe in the exploration of all cultural and societal messages, norms, and values that have shaped my clients into who they are today. Making the brave decision to begin therapy is often preceded by many obstacles and challenges, and it is important to me to take the necessary time to walk through clients’ stories and reflect on their experiences. I work to create a safe, trusting, and open environment where my clients and I can exchange constructive feedback. I believe that the therapy room is a space for emotional vulnerability, reflection, and growth. I work with my clients on identifying their strengths, and building their self-esteem.

Education:

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Willamette University.

Experience:

I provide therapy services to children, teens, adults, and couples. Throughout my Graduate program I worked with youth and families in a community mental health setting. I have experience in crisis stabilization, working from a Trauma-focused perspective, and working with multi-stressed families. I have also provided school-based therapy services for teens in need of support outside of their homes. I work with couples on strengthening areas such as boundaries, emotional vulnerability, emotional/physical intimacy, and communication.

My therapy room is a safe space for people of all cultural backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures. I am an ally to members of the LGBTQ+ community, and non-binary individuals. I will always work to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. It is important to me that my clients always feel safe enough to engage in constructive dialogue with me, I view therapy as a collaborative process.
