Our mission to provide science-based and research-backed treatment to teens, mothers, adults, couples, and families. Our desire is that, through therapy, you will discover your intrinsic value and worth.

We are here for to help you navigate the big stuff and the small stuff!

I help people who've been running on empty come back to their bodies and their own sense of steadiness. Whether that shows up as anxiety, burnout, or the aftermath of a psychedelic experience that hasn't fully settled, my somatic and gestalt approach meets you where you actually are, not where you think you should be. If you're ready to stop overriding what your body already knows, reach out for a free consultation.

Our diverse team of experienced therapists customize treatment for the unique needs of each individual or couple. We specialize in treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, OCD and ADHD for children, adolescents and adults. We want to make sure you feel comfortable and get the help you need in the way in the way that works best for you. You'll find our therapists to be warm, engaging, compassionate and affirming. Our goal is to empower YOU to have the tools and strength to live your best life.

Throughout our lifetime, things continue to shift and change; it's inevitable. Sometimes with these changes comes feelings of confusion, fear, anger, grief, and resentment, and choice-making can be difficult. Working with a counselor can be supportive as we navigate our mental health and wellness during these everchanging times. Finding a therapist that feels 'just right' is an important piece of the counseling journey. Let's schedule a free consultation to meet one another and explore the possibility of working together. I can be a support to those navigating challenging changes related to grief, loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma.

I offer support for manifestations of mental and physical chronic conditions, as well as during times of transition and/or recovery from trauma and adversity. I welcome folks from all walks of life into my practice. Together, we will explore and make sense of what is happening in your life, and make it easier for you to understand what steps to take and how you want to take them.

Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and has a strong progressive, arts-driven identity, with a notably high density of therapists relative to its population and a community that generally holds therapy in high regard. The city's significant homelessness crisis, economic inequality, and substance use challenges sit in some tension with its progressive reputation, and therapists in Eugene often work across the full spectrum of economic circumstance. Lane County Behavioral Health provides publicly funded services, while a robust private therapy sector caters to university faculty, students, healthcare workers, and the outdoor recreation and arts communities. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and life transitions, and the stresses of living in a city grappling openly with housing insecurity and addiction alongside an otherwise strong quality of life.
