As a licensed therapist in Oregon with over two decades of professional experience, I bring a depth of understanding to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, inclusive space where clients from diverse backgrounds can explore their emotional experiences and personal growth.
My expertise spans a wide range of therapeutic areas, including depression, anxiety, stress management, and relationship dynamics. I have a particular commitment to addressing multicultural concerns, supporting individuals navigating prejudice, discrimination, and complex identity experiences. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity and respect for each person's unique journey.
I specialize in working with first responders, individuals experiencing gender dysphoria, and those dealing with immigration-related challenges. My therapeutic style is collaborative and affirming, designed to help clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and effective coping strategies.
I believe in meeting each client exactly where they are, offering a supportive and non-judgmental environment that honors individual experiences and promotes healing and personal transformation.
