Therapy for Connection, Healing & Change

Individual and couples therapy in Portland, Oregon and virtually throughout Oregon and California

I see meaningful change as beginning with connection—to yourself, your felt sense, and your relationships. Therapy can create space to slow down, notice what is happening within you, understand what has shaped you, and become more present in your relationships. From there, greater awareness, healing, and agency can emerge.

My work often includes:

  • People experiencing disconnection in romantic, family, and other relationships

  • People affected by trauma

  • People moving through periods of change, uncertainty, or major life transitions

  • People facing grief and loss

  • Couples and individuals exploring sexuality, intimacy, and sexual preferences

  • Parents navigating the demands of career, creativity, and family life

  • Artists and creatives

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy approach that can help people process traumatic and distressing experiences that continue to affect how they feel, respond, or relate.

EMDR may be helpful for:

  • Trauma or distressing experiences that continue to feel emotionally or physically present

  • Anxiety, fear, or a heightened sense of alertness

  • Grief or loss that feels difficult to process

  • Difficult memories, experiences, or life events that continue to affect the present

I have training in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved organization and incorporate this approach when it fits a client's needs and goals.

FAQ

Do you offer virtual sessions?

I offer virtual sessions throughout Oregon and California, as well as in-person sessions for clients in Portland, Oregon.

What is your fee?

My fee is $250 per 50-minute session. Typically, I see clients weekly until their treatment goals have been reached, but I work collaboratively with clients to determine a timeframe that fits their needs. I also offer a limited number of sliding-scale options and aim to find a therapy fee that works for both of us. Fees can be discussed over the phone prior to our first meeting.

What is the first step?

After you contact me by email or phone, we can set up an initial phone consultation to discuss your needs, experiences with previous therapy, and the areas you'd like to address. We can determine together whether I would be a good match for you and, if so, schedule a first session. This consultation is free of charge.
