I am a board certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oregon. I offer individual therapy for a wide array of behavioral and emotional issues that people struggle with today. I strive to cultivate a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate space for you to work through these struggles. Everyday stressors have substantial emotional and physical effects on the body and can be treated effectively using various holistic counseling techniques. I love to help clients find their path of healing through these issues, all while establishing an easy feel to our sessions.
