I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from George Fox University. I have 13 years of experience working in counseling and the mental health field, and 8 of those years have and continue to be counseling in a church setting.

My approach to therapy is multi-systemic with focuses on solutions, faith based holistic wellbeing, and equipping my clients with a healthy understanding of how one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors functionally effect that wellbeing. 

I treat individual adults, parents, and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, parenting difficulties, and coping with a variety of life stressors.

Specialized treatments: 

EMDR– Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a specialized and empirically based approach to treating trauma, anxiety, phobias, and other distressing experiences.

Parent Coaching with special emphasis for parents of children and teens with ADHD. I help parents develop effective strategies for training their children to become fully functional adults, and gain a better understanding of what’s going on for their child or teen with ADHD as well as how to help them cope as a family team.
