As a therapist, I use a person-centered creative approach, and work from a heart-centered place. I work with children, adolescents, and individuals. I am dedicated to crafting a collaborative therapeutic alliance, where the work is a mutual process that contributes to growth (whatever that may look like for each client!) I often use the creative arts of drama, art, storytelling, and movement to support and enhance the psychotherapeutic process.

I believe your child has the ability to thrive and I would like to support them in their journey of self-discovery and growth. I strive to meet each child where they are at, using play and embodiment to connect in ways that go beyond talking. I often emphasize storytelling, which is an important and brilliant way to help honor their lives.

Is your child feeling stuck? Want to bring some joy and playfulness into your child’s life and feel like something can change? Drama Therapy, an experiential method of facilitating change, is an incredible tool for self-discovery, transformation, and connection. You don’t need to be an actor or have any acting experience to benefit from Drama Therapy. We’ve got so many options for how to structure sessions, from drama to talk therapy and anywhere in between. Your child and I will figure out together what feels the most comfortable for them to try – and with flexibility to change their mind on what feels best! We – me, your child, and you – are a team.

I am passionate about helping children and adolescents become aware of their mind/body connection, building coping skills through various modalities, and overall being a safe enough adult person as they work to find their true selves.

Currently I work with children, adolescents, and adult individuals who reside in the state of Oregon for in-person or online sessions.
