Family therapy and counseling in Eugene, OR

With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.

I have worked several years in crisis in many roles. I have worked as a case manager, crisis screener, program therapist, and clinical supervisor.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and families across a range of concerns. My specialties include anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and child and adolescent therapy with parent coaching. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships and coping strategies.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the pain itself. It's feeling like you should have figured it out by now. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating depression, grief, loss, and the particular weight that women often carry through life's transitions. With more than six years in private practice and a background spanning both inpatient and outpatient care, I've sat with people facing a wide range of experiences, from everyday stress to profound loss. Clients often describe our sessions as a place where they finally feel like they can exhale.

I have served aging people since I began working, the last 20+ years as a psychologist. Now, having aged into the group, I understand what it is to live with issues of aging, including the family, health and career / retirement issues that go along with that both personally and professionally. I am here to help others write their personalized how-to manual for a happier second half of life.
