Currently Accepting New Clients!

I am a licensed therapist in Oregon and Washington, offering individual, couples, and family counseling in person in White Salmon, WA and virtually.

Individual Counseling:
In addition to being a licensed therapist and a survivor of postpartum depression, I hold a Master’s in Youth Development and have 20 years of experience as a youth worker. I blend that deep understanding of young people, attachment theory, DBT and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to effectively guide moms to identify their core beliefs and needs, work through trauma-related symptoms, and implement strategies that allow them to fully engage in their lives with clarity and resilience.

Couples Counseling:
I am a PACT-trained couples therapist, grounded in neurobiology and attachment theory. I’m an active, hands-on therapist who helps couples get to the heart of what’s happening between them. Instead of just talking about problems, I guide you through real conversations in session so you can practice new ways of connecting. My approach is goal-oriented and practical—you’ll leave with tools you can use right away to feel more supported, understood, and connected to your partner- many couples begin to see meaningful results in as few as six sessions.

Family Counseling:
I’ve had the privilege of doing deep group work through the School of Lost Borders and facilitating restorative justice circles, experiences that showed me the power of listening, witnessing, and holding space for multiple voices at once. This work informs my approach to family therapy: I help each member feel seen, heard, and understood through individual sessions, then guide the family toward connection, understanding, and healing together. I love helping families discover their own strengths and build relationships that feel safe and supportive.

I do not accept insurance but can provide a Superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
