About
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself, once you are strong and stable in that relationship, you will be able to be strong and stable in other relationships.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most difficult seasons. I spent 18 years as a firefighter and EMT helping people with their physical wounds, and now my focus is on helping them heal their emotional ones. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their stories, uncover resilience, and begin the process of emotional restoration.
I earned my master’s in counseling from Lewis and Clark College, where I developed a deep appreciation for the connection between the mind and body. My approach integrates trauma-informed, person-centered, and collaborative care techniques designed to support each individual’s unique path to healing.
I believe that healing begins with understanding, and I look forward to hearing your story and learning about the life you want to create. Together, we can identify the ways your nervous system has been impacted by past experiences and work toward emotional balance, resilience, and lasting growth.

My goal in therapy is to help clients cope more effectively with current concerns, process past trauma, and build better relationships.
My goal is to help clients decrease the negative effects of stress, anxiety, trauma, co-occurring disorders, substance use, and other mental health challenges, while building coping, relationship, and parenting skills. I've worked in domestic violence shelters, on the Drug Court team, in schools and counseling offices, and I believe that individuals are unique with inherent worth. I work to create individualized treatment plans that highlight strengths and meet each client's needs. Approaches may include Adlerian therapy, EMDR, DBT, TRM, expressive art therapy, nCBT, AFFIRM, and PCIT.
I work to hear and understand your story, and help you recognize your strengths, learn new skills, and challenge thinking or behaviors that are not serving you. I may also help you reprocess and reduce the effects of trauma. A session may include conversation, art or writing activities, body awareness, mindfulness practices, or play.
Counseling can help you get unstuck. What you're going through, feeling, or thinking right now doesn't have to be forever. Counseling means having support while you explore, learn new skills, use your strengths more effectively, and work toward better relationships. If it feels like we'd be a good match, let's begin by scheduling your first appointment.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Oregon, OR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
