Telehealth
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, specializing in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I received my bachelor’s degree from Marylhurst University where I majored in Human Studies. I hold a master’s degree from George Fox University in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling with an emphasis in working with children and families. I hold a post-graduate certification in Foster and Adoptive Family Therapy from Portland State University. While receiving my formal education in counseling, I worked as a Montessori teacher with children eighteen months to seven years old, for ten years.
I view counseling as a collaborative effort where we work together as a team to find interventions, treatment methods, and goals that best suit you and your current needs. I strive to meet you where you are, guide you in identifying strengths and resources and together create new ways of healthier functioning. I work from an eclectic approach with strong emphasis in CBT and systems/attachment theories. CBT is an evidence-based approach which evaluates how the way we think and feel effect the way we act. Systems/Attachment Theory takes into consideration that we are often shaped by our experiences and our relationships with others, which together have a profound impact on the person we become. By working from this integrated approach, I am able to draw from a variety of different tools and interventions that best meet your current needs, and more closely tailor the therapy experience to match you as an individual. By coming to therapy, you have taken a very positive step forward. The outcome of therapy depends greatly on your willingness to engage in this process, which may, at times, result in discomfort. I will support you through this as well as help you to define what it is you want for yourself from this experience.
I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey, and look forward to working with you.
