- LCSW
I am licensed in Oregon and Texas, with over a decade of private practice experience. I am skilled in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, & anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I am a certified attachment therapist (2015) and trained in somatic and experiential methods (Hakomi, 2019), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), relational and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I incorporate into my practice. My dynamic approach affords us to work together to find methods that suit you and your goals for personal growth and transformation.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
