Our therapists offer EMDR therapy in Tigard, OR

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 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.
