MY EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINING

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from The Evergreen State College, with a primary focus on fine art. I completed a Masters Degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Marylhurst University in 2011. I have been practicing clinically since 2012, in both community mental health and outpatient group practice settings. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon since 2015.

I work primarily with adult clients in individual therapy, but have experience with group therapy as well. I specialize in developmental/complex trauma, and am trained in somatic and attachment-focused EMDR as a trauma-processing modality. In addition to EMDR, I utilize person-centered, strengths-based approaches, mindfulness, DBT, compassion-focused therapy, and expressive arts therapies in my work with clients.

I believe in the power of connection and curiosity, and I strive to meet clients with compassion, wherever they are on their healing journeys. I am committed to providing therapy that is collaborative, responsive, and affirming. Though I do not identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am an ally and am committed to understanding dynamics of privilege and oppression.
