I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and families across a range of concerns. My specialties include anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and child and adolescent therapy with parent coaching. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships and coping strategies.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.
I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Eugene starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Eugene therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Reading bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a mid-sized city like Eugene, your options may include therapists near Downtown, South Hills, River Road, and nearby areas, along with virtual appointments across Oregon. In-person care may be useful if location and commute are simple for you, while virtual therapy can add more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can give you a clearer sense of their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Eugene can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
