​​    As someone who overcame identity struggles in my adoptive family and found healing through therapy in my early 20s, I'm passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges and discover their own resilience and freedom. I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and other difficulties, using my training in the Gottman Method to help couples rebuild strong foundations while equipping individuals with coping strategies for better daily living and relationships. When not counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family—including three adult children, daughters-in-law, and a grandson—through cooking, camping, and travel, as well as outdoor adventures with my husband and dog along Oregon's coast and mountains, believing that diverse experiences deepen my understanding of our shared humanity.
