I am a Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon with a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a Ph D in Counseling. My private practice is located in Lake Oswego, OR, where I see individuals and couples in person and online for clients throughout Oregon. I work with people having challenges achieving the happiness they seek in their work and personal lives.  I specialize in sexual issues, relationship conflicts, work/life balance development, and couples struggling with relationship fulfillment. 

 

I provide a safe, empathetic, confidence space where individuals and couples can feel supported as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I help clients unblock obstacles to building fulfilling relationships and achieve their life goals. With couples I follow the Gottman method to develop the tools they need to support each other and grow together.

 

My clinical experience includes working in treatment centers with clients facing sexual issues and substance abuse, as well as community clinics serving adults, adolescents, and families dealing with complex life situations.

 

Passionate about helping others, I find the work both inspiring and deeply personal. After my training, I made the intentional decision to expand my perspective by entering the corporate world, working with CEOs, founders, and leaders across industries, gaining insight into highly gifted individuals and the challenges they face. After 12 years in technology, manufacturing, and academia, I returned to counseling with a broader understanding of the experiences that shape adults today.

 

I am dedicated to fostering a healing space where everyone feels welcome, respected, safe, and truly seen. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of my practice. I take responsibility to challenge and dismantle oppression, racism, and other forms of bias, ensuring that all clients feel valued and safe.
