Going through life can be challenging for even the most grounded and assured individuals. Throw another human being into that equation and it quickly becomes understandable why some partnerships feel pushed to the limit. My goal is to help couples navigate a better way of connecting, communicating, and co-creating.

Are you at a place in your relationship where you just feel lost? Do you struggle to communicate in a meaningful way? Do you feel stuck because you and your partner are having the same fight over and over?  Do you feel easily triggered because of built up resentment? Has there been a betrayal or a loss of trust? Are there things you yearn to say, but can’t find the right time or words? Therapy can help you and your partner become more assertive and vulnerable with one another, so that you can develop practical solutions and a renewed sense of closeness. Transform the dynamics of your relationship and experience your partnership differently. Work towards improving emotional and physical intimacy in an environment that is safe and welcoming.

Making the call to begin therapy can be intimidating, however if you were to ask yourself which is scarier -beginning therapy or leaving things to continue on the way they have been – I believe you’ll agree that it’s time to try something new. Therapy – like your relationship – requires hard work, commitment, and transparency. With a willingness to be open, we can begin identifying patterns and solutions that best address your circumstances.

I especially enjoy working with folks who identify as being from an historically marginalized population. My approach to counseling is one that is engaged, compassionate, and warm. I will hold a space for you that is authentic and safe. I want you to feel that your session is a chance for you to ground, recharge, and process the library of emotions that you hold within you.

I obtained my master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark. My undergraduate degree in Psychology informed my path of better understanding relational behaviors.

I work with clients who are residents of the state of Oregon.

Originally hailing from Southern California, I am in constant awe and appreciation of the wonders of the Pacific Northwest. Even when there is rain in the forecast, you might find me outdoors taking in the beauty of this land. I also enjoy spending time with my family, seeing new places, meeting new people, and listening to music.
