I moved to Eugene, OR in 1986 and outside of a few years in Bend, Eugene has been home. I graduated from University of Oregon with a bachelors in sociology and Bushnell University with a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. I worked for a local non-profit for 11 years, managing the counseling and EAP department, providing a wide range of services from therapy to workplace training, conflict resolution to team building. I absolutely loved this job, and in 2026 I knew it was time for a change and decided to open my own practice.

I look forward to continuing my work in a new way, with more flexibility and more time to focus on my clinical work rather than management responsibilities. I have also fallen in love with the desert over the past ten years and look forward to spending even more time in Arizona, maintaining both an in-person and remote clinical practice.

A little more about my clinical work, I provide counseling for couples, individuals and families. I work with ages 12 and up, and specialize in trauma, blended families, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and women in transition. I am licensed in both Oregon and Arizona, however in Arizona I only offer telehealth visits and am not able to take insurance.

I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness tools in my work, and I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. I also incorporate Somatic Therapy into my sessions and will be a certified Somatic Therapist in November of 2026.

Outside of counseling, I have extensive experience in managing workplace issues, leadership coaching, team building and providing trainings on both workplace and mental health topics. I provide groups for grief and loss, critical incident de-briefing, and emotional processing. I am also certified in conflict-resolution.

I am a clinical supervisor and can provide supervision for registered associates in Oregon.

When I’m not working, I love spending time in the desert, hiking, reading, practicing yoga, and writing.
