About Me

Hi, I’m Jewel! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting people through life’s transitions, emotional challenges, and healing journeys. I bring a warm, compassionate, and grounded presence into my work, creating a space where you can feel safe, seen, and truly heard.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, and have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, neurodivergence, and relationship challenges. My approach is nonjudgmental and down-to-earth, and I deeply value building authentic, trusting connections with the people I work with.

How I Work

I believe therapy should be tailored to you. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable while exploring your experiences, identifying patterns, and working toward meaningful change. Whether you are looking to process emotions, strengthen relationships, build coping skills, or reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Clinical Orientation

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered care, with a strong emphasis on creating safety, empowerment, and collaboration. I often integrate tools and techniques from:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness & Somatic Techniques

• Motivational Interviewing

• Strengths-Based & Attachment-Focused Approaches

I adapt each session to meet your unique needs, goals, and preferences.

Who I Work With

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, and I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Sessions & Availability

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for flexibility and comfort. I’m based out of our Beaverton office, and I work with clients across a variety of schedules.

Insurance Made Easy

I accept the following insurance plans:

• Kaiser Permanente

• Aetna

• Moda Health Plan

• Optum / UnitedHealthcare

• PacificSource

• Providence Health Plan

• Blue Cross Blue Shield

• Trillium Community Health Plan

Self-pay is also welcome.

A Bit About Me

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time in nature, being around animals, and connecting with the ocean. I value presence, authenticity, and personal growth, and I hope our sessions can feel like time by the ocean: a steady place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
