Talk therapy isn't always enough to create lasting change. I provide strengths-based therapy and specialized EMDR for adults navigating issues related to trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression or prolonged grief. If you're struggling with the past, substance use or emotional challenges, EMDR offers a different path forward by helping the brain integrate experiences that haven't fully healed and lessen the impact of triggers that drive undesirable actions. My approach seamlessly blends traditional insight-oriented therapy with advanced clinical tools including standard EMDR, DeTUR (addiction and dysfunctional behaviors), EMDR-GRIEF (bereavement and psychological loss), DBT, and CBT. Working together in an empowering, supportive space, we can reduce the intensity of your painful memories and shift patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. You'll feel more present, connected, and in control of your life again. I hold a master's degree in Counseling Psychology: Addiction Studies from Lewis & Clark College. I am also fully credentialed in both mental health and substance use treatment in Oregon and Washington.
