It can feel vulnerable to acknowledge that you’re struggling, but it’s my belief that there is a lot of strength in that willingness to be open and seek change. I strive to honor that by providing an environment of safety, acceptance, and empowerment. My approach is described as easy-going, direct and nonjudgmental. I respect my clients’ needs and embrace the opportunity to work with people of diverse backgrounds, identities, life experiences and relationships (including ENM/polyamorous). I really value being a safe person for my clients in a world that can feel unsafe, especially for the LGBTQIA2S+ community of which l'm a part of. I have expertise and a passion for trauma recovery, identity exploration (including gender & sexual identity), navigating systems of oppression, attachment, codependency, and relational concerns. I’ve specialized in EMDR for 12 years, and utilize polyvagal mindfulness, parts work, DBT, and CBT- with my approach being tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I accept PacificSource Commercial, Moda, and Providence Insurances.
