I am passionate about therapy and how it can improve people's lives.

Therapist






I am committed to the healing role as a therapist. My goal is to create a secure and safe place in my office that allows patients to find their truths. I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Gonzaga University and my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University. I am licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (C5362).


I believe in the power of stories. I know the healing power of having a place to share personal stories with a person who genuinely cares. When patients come into my office, I want to help them chose how they write the next chapter in their stories. I do this through person-centered and trauma-informed care, informed by cultural sensitivity. My therapy connects the stories presented in the session with the people, places, and ideas that are important to my patients and lights the way for them to connect deeply to their true selves.


My primary model of therapy utilizes principles of attachment theory to reconnect people with their values and the things that give them meaning. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Systems Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy. I am Level 1 certified TEAM CBT therapist.


Specialties: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Relationship issues, Family struggles, Parental difficulties, Trauma.

If you are going through a life transition and feeling anxious and overwhelmed, you are at the right place. I respect your courage to seek help. I believe that difficult situations and emotions involve a complex interplay of personal, familial, and cultural dynamics. It is wise to seek a safe and unbiased ally to help you access your own wisdom and resourcefulness.


I hold a master’s degree from Voronezh State University, and I am in the process of completing my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology through Pacifica Graduate Institute. I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in WA and NV. I rely on evidence-based approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you address the situation at hand. We can also venture into a more eclectic perspective grounded in depth psychology, where we will work on facilitating the process of re-discovering and compassionately accepting all aspects of the Self.


During our time together, we will endeavor to relieve and resolve complicated feelings, examining issues that get stuck or repeated throughout your life. At times, we will draw guidance and inspiration from nature, literature, philosophy, art, movement, and symbolic guidance of your dreams and life patterns. I have a specific interest in somatic psychology, which focuses on bodily signals of illness and distress, using specific symptoms to further understand one’s unique soul path and desires. On a larger scale, I am inspired by feminist theory, gender studies, postmodernism, multiculturalism, and Eastern thought. I am deeply committed to socially conscious approaches of multiculturalism, gender studies, and feminist theory.
