Who I am as a person

As a therapist, I am warm, validating and empathetic while also ensuring that clients feel challenged to learn and grow to overcome past trauma. As a human, I value intimacy (emotional closeness with loved ones), empathy, humility, humor, comfort and compassion.

Things I love outside of therapy sessions:  

• spending time with my favorite people and my pets

• drawing

• watching movies and shows

• going on walks 

• cooking

• going to yoga classes 

• gardening 

• exploring Portland neighborhoods, the food scene and surrounding areas of natural beauty
