Philosophy and Approach

My approach to therapy is best described as integrative and systemic, incorporating all aspects of life such as interpersonal relationships and the environment. My theoretical orientation includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and psychoeducation. I believe in drawing upon family and childhood experiences, as well as learning how those experiences impact current functioning. I work with adults who identify as female ranging from 18-50 years old impacted by anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.

Education and Experience

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (2013) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (2014). I received a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from George Fox University in 2010, and a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Western Oregon University in 2008. I have practiced in the mental health field since 2010.
