I received my PhD from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and have experience in community mental health, university counseling center, and hospital settings. I also worked as a professor at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and as a clinical supervisor for doctoral students before transitioning to my current full-time private practice. I enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual/faith-related concerns. I believe authenticity and humility are essential qualities in an effective therapist, which is why I am committed to my own ongoing personal growth and development as part of my clinical role.
I started my career in psychology and counseling when I experienced a suicide in my family. It gave me the courage to make changes for myself, and help people around me who were also suffering grief, loss, and depression. I'm an advocate of mental health issues, a proud adoptee, and a supporter of the arts. I have a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been working with individuals, teens, and families for over 10 years.
My counseling style is trauma-informed, individualized, and paced to ensure comfort and readiness for each client. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals overcome the distress of their past and ease their anxieties about the future. I believe our childhood experiences play a significant role in shaping who we are, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their past and process their trauma. With unconditional positive regard, I gently reframe perspectives shaped by past experiences, fostering healing, growth, and a stronger sense of self.
I’ve worked as a therapist for the past ten years, helping people untangle their stories and find compassion for the messy, imperfect parts of being human. My own experiences as a client deeply shaped my approach. I bring empathy, warmth, and a genuine understanding of how vulnerable therapy can feel. I work with clients of all ages, from tweens to adults, to build insight, resilience, and self-acceptance. My style is collaborative and grounded in authenticity, humor, and humanity. Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to explore what healing might look like for you.
First and foremost, my practice is a judgment free zone. I encourage clients to check their judgments of themselves and make way for self-compassion and resilience. I aim to provide space for safety, humor, and curiosity. With over 11 years of experience, I have also provided support to therapists, healthcare workers, and law enforcement. I am a kink aware, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ friendly provider.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Eugene, OR
Searching for therapists in Eugene starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Eugene therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Reading bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a mid-sized city like Eugene, your options may include therapists near Downtown, South Hills, River Road, and nearby areas, along with virtual appointments across Oregon. In-person care may be useful if location and commute are simple for you, while virtual therapy can add more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can give you a clearer sense of their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Eugene can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
