Overview

Even the most capable people can reach a point where life feels unmanageable. The strategies that have gotten you this far aren’t working so well anymore. Lately, you’ve been thinking that you can’t go on like this. You know that something needs to change.

I am here to support you in defining and making that change. My style is warm, relational, collaborative, and down to earth. I will meet you where you are and be direct when it’s helpful. Sometimes we’ll laugh together, sometimes we’ll process things deeply, and sometimes I’ll gently point out patterns and encourage accountability.

If you want to maintain or improve performance while gaining balance, clarity, and meaning, schedule a consultation. We will discuss how therapy can help you build a more sustainable long-term strategy so that you can handle your responsibilities without constant overwhelm and move closer to a life you enjoy instead of just endure.

I am a master's-level candidate holding a certificate to practice in Oregon as a social work associate. I practice under a board-approved clinical supervisor, pursuant to OAR 877-020-0012, at Mindful Therapy Group, P.C.
