Hi, I’m Bre, preferred pronouns she/her. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon, with over seven years of experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages, with different backgrounds, and across a wide variety of settings.
Within sessions, I take a humanistic psychological approach while remaining rooted in mindfulness. Through my variety of trainings, I have gained the insight and skills to show up fully for others in session. I remain an active participant in deepening my self-awareness through ongoing therapy, yoga, and meditation. These practices aid me in my own self-discovery of inherent compassion in order to guide others with humility and grace.
My Education and Additional Trainings:
• Naropa University, Master of Arts, Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology
• University of Missouri St. Louis, Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Art Therapy
• Adi Yogpeeth, 500 Hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda Yoga
• Emotional Frequency Technique (EFT), Level I & II
• Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
Diversity and inclusion are crucial for me in my personal life, and in my career as a therapist. While working from a social justice lens, I invite conversation regarding bias, privilege, and power. Throughout my diverse experiences in the field, I have increased my competency as well as my confidence in being of service to others. Let's create a supportive and safe space together that is unique to your needs as an individual.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Self esteem, Coping with life changes
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

Its nice to have a therapist like Bre who listens and is able to give me solid advice that pertains to me. I also appreciate that she knows what she is talking about. I feel like when I am talking to her that she is able to actually provide help, its been a struggle to find a therapist like that.
