In my humble opinion, shopping (yes, I used the word “shopping”) for a therapist is simply overwhelming. Totally on par with the aggravation of using a dating app: countless profiles to filter through, wondering whether to swipe right or left, Guessing at trustworthiness and level of compassion based on a photo and a few carefully crafted paragraphs. And so we swipe. And swipe. And swipe. Hoping to match with “The One”. Perhaps a rather interesting comparison, but it’s true! There’s a lot of good therapists out there and despite the fact that there’s probably a therapist for everyone, not every therapist is for you.

My approach is to be open and honest. I’m a Gen X’er: former latch key kid, Midwestern farm girl raised on hotdish, school pizza, and the Pledge of Allegiance. A biracial (Honduran/Black American) and transracial adoptee raised in a tiny, all-white, conservative community. I was always “the only one in the room” and because of that, I figured out how to assimilate by honing my listening skills and learning how to read the room. After experiencing some major life transitions that are typically experienced at midlife, I started my journey as a therapist after my nest emptied and entered graduate school at 50. Today, I’m a single, divorced mom of two awesome adult humans, an adolescent German Shepherd mix rescue pup and an elderly cat. My happy place is travelling occasionally, reading, listening to music, and relaxing in my hammock. I find joy in the simplicity of life and believe that time waits for no man and being present and in the moment is what’s most important.

To me, being a therapist comes with major responsibilities. To be chosen and trusted by strangers with their innermost thoughts, fears, and experiences is a privilege and honour that I take seriously. I especially enjoy providing support and guidance to women in the middle-to-end seasons of their lives. This stage of life can be especially challenging and lonely due to the mental and physical challenges of menopause and life transitions such as empty nest, the Gray Divorce, caring for ageing parents, questioning sexuality, deaths of spouse or parents, and really just trying to adjust to all the changes that occur during this time of life. Life can seem overwhelmingly unfair and frustrating and cause us to feel invisible. While I feel an affinity for Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness, I draw from several modalities and focus primarily on a positive, solution focused and goal oriented approach.

Navigating this journey called life can be a lonely journey. I invite any adult to reach out if they feel a connection with me in any sort of way and are interested in finding out more. Please know that I hold space especially for those who belong to the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and sex workers communities. I see you, I hear you, and offer sanctuary, understanding, non-judgement, and curiosity in my space. Peace

As someone who identifies as bicultural, I can empathize with the many barriers associated with finding a provider who can understand various cultural differences that take place in our world. I want to help you reach your goals in a way that works best for you and your learning style. My theoretical framework is person centered and trauma informed, to provide you with the most personalized experience. I like to incorporate multiple therapy perspectives that include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Mindfulness.

I have experience working in crisis services as well as outpatient Telehealth settings. My educational background includes completing a Masters in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University. During my studies, I participated in a year-long clinical internship that focused on supporting people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety using the evidence based practice of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds who are struggling to manage their symptoms of anxiety or depression and are looking for support in taking back control of their lives.

I am committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and respectful to all people regardless of race, color, culture, religion, spiritual practice, sex, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

I’m a mental health therapist committed to helping adults learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and others and create the lives they want to live. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, thoughts, habits and beliefs around ourselves and the lives we lead.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. Our time together is yours, and I take the opportunity to partner with you as sacred. I use a variety of approaches in helping adults overcome and identify and develop their own strengths and tools to care for their mental health. I enjoy using art and writing and creative options as well as a variety of other resources.

I truly believe in the individual and do not believe that one size fits all! You are unique and your approach to wellness and optimal mental health should be unique, too. I’m passionate about helping you find the tools you need and to develop those strengths you already possess. I truly believe we all have the ability within ourselves to create the lives we want to have, and I want to work with you to help you develop yours.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you along your journey!

Born and raised in Oregon, "a coastie," I made my way inland for college, graduating first from Chemeketa, then a short stint at WOU before graduating from Oregon State with a couple of BA degrees. After myriad jobs around the Salem area, I started on my Master's degree at Portland State.

My clinical focus revolves primarily around DBT, Narrative therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, with some dabbling in other modalities such as Terror Management Theory. My clinical experience comes from Chemawa Indian School, Salem Hospital, Willamette Valley Hospice and here, at Stronger Oregon. I primarily do individual therapy and occasionally couples therapy, too.

My drive is to understand you as best as possible, and to find root cause issues for what troubles you. My hope is that we will both learn from the experience and be better for it.
