Overview

When someone comes to counseling it’s because they want something to change. I believe change happens by trying to be who we are rather than trying to be different. Together we can explore what your life is like now, how you'd like it to be, and what's getting in the way of you living your life richly and authentically.

I specialize in Gestalt Therapy, neuroscience-informed approaches, and parts work. I hold a Master of Counseling from Oregon State University and a Master of Public Health from Creighton University. As a fellow spirit navigating the human experience just like everyone else, I bring my humanness into my therapy to heal and teach.

I’ll be there with you to make contact with those parts of you that are hiding, hurt, marginalized, fearful, ashamed, anxious, angry, sad, and confused. Together, we can work towards wholeness.

My practice is celebratory and affirming of the human experience in all of it’s wonderful, diverse, and beautiful forms.
