I provide individual therapy for people who want to move through life's with greater ease, clarity, and fulfillment. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for your unique experiences and identities.

I identify as Queer and Asian-American, and many of my clients share these identities. If you're queer, trans, gender expansive, neurodivergent, or in some way navigating a life between cultures, I'd love to offer you a space to explore your experience and how you want to show up in the world.

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I’ve lived in Oregon over 20 years and have been blessed to raise my family surrounded by natural beauty. I attended graduate school at Portland State University School of Social Work where I graduated with a Master of Social Work degree. I’ve previously specialized in providing services to individuals and families who have survived family violence, abuse and sexual violence. My main practice involves serving individuals in my rural Oregon community who may be experiencing crisis. While this work is exciting and always different, I also enjoy providing clinical therapy with a variety of clients. I believe therapy should be a collaborative partnership focused on the unique goals of each client. My hope is to provide clients with the tools they need to improve daily functioning, and return to a better quality of life.

If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a secondary focus in Art Therapy. My background allows me to incorporate both traditional therapeutic approaches and creative expression when helpful, offering multiple ways to explore emotions, gain insight, and support meaningful personal growth.

I practice primarily from a Gestalt therapy orientation that is humanistic, holistic, and experiential. I also integrate cognitive behavioral, somatic, and internal family systems strategies as needed. I approach therapy collaboratively, with the assumption that you are the expert of your experiences and my role is to guide you toward increased awareness, insight, and behavior integration in order to make meaningful changes that meet your goals. I believe psychotherapy is a powerful tool for achieving self-understanding, reducing distress, and relieving symptoms.

As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.
