I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I am here to support you in that process.

I’m a therapist that works with you to feel more at home in your life and emotions. I know reaching out can feel scary, especially when life feels uncertain or suddenly different, so I focus on creating a space that feels calm, safe, and truly supportive. I speak English and Spanish, and I deeply respect each person’s story, culture, and values as we work together.

I’ve gained broad experience through filling various roles in three different county mental health agencies in the state of Oregon over the past twelve years. I work with individuals age 14 and up and tend to work with many in the helping professions as well as first responders. I use ACT and DBT interventions and my goal is for you to feel truly seen and heard in our sessions, and to create an environment where you feel safe and supported.

My clients are the “overthinkers” in the world...with big feelings that are hard to explain. They feel misunderstood, lonely and isolated while striving to please others at the expense of themselves. They’re exhausted, overworked, and over-stressed, feeling like they’re never enough. They have a vision for life, but aren’t sure how to bring it together, especially after a life-changing event. They're also eager for change.

Does this sound like you? If so, I warmly welcome you to my practice.
