My journey to becoming a provider

When talking about my journey becoming a therapist, I always start out by letting people know that social work found me and I'm so glad it did! In my journey as a therapist, I started out running groups, which I have enjoyed for many years. I was later drawn to working with people individually.

I have been a practicing Psychiatric and Mental Health Provider for 10 years. I engage with clients from a therapy standpoint as well as a psychopharmacologic one. I see medication as a tool to help you engage in deep, inner transformation. I work with clients ages 18+. Health professionals struggling with burnout, those interested in or proficient in meditation, those who struggle with work life balance, those who are wanting to live their lives with clarity, compassion, and purpose are all especially benefitted by the work I do.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing teletherapy for teens and adults in Oregon and California. While I’ve supported a wide range of mental health concerns in my practice, I currently focus on chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout. I work with people who tend to have more sensitive nervous systems — often shaped by early childhood experiences, chronic relational stress, high emotional attunement, or years of self-override.
