You have the power to transform the ocean within you.
Approach
My approach to therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy so you can experience the change from within.
A lot of times talk therapy isn't enough. Therapy with me includes a trauma neuroscience approach. And if you're up for it, we'll occasionally take therapy outside of the office. My goal is that you feel a difference in your mind and body. It isn't about fixing you - it's about creating the conditions for your internal environment to feel safe enough to shift, so the patterns you've been stuck in can begin to change.
-
It's not about fixing, it's about finding safety
-
You are the expert of you.
-
Collaborative, not prescriptive
-
Nervous system focused, not just cognitive.
-
Experiential and embodied change, not just understanding it.
-
Relational at the core
-
​We move at your pace based on your needs.​
What Clients Have Said
"I spent most of 2020 in fight or flight mode, coping with PTSD episodes and panic. I had tried to address these issues on my own and found it a losing battle. I came in looking for tools to help me process episodes while decreasing their frequency and impact. Since I've started, my relationship has improved, my awareness of shame and trauma has increased, and my ability to self-regulate has grown."​ -Client, age 31
“I would refer anybody I know who is struggling with anxiety, depression, or a feeling of not belonging. For me, these have all stemmed from childhood trauma. Attachment therapy and self-regulation have played a vital role in how I feel better as I progress.”- Client, age 26
What is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body- based approach to healing that helps you tune into the physical sensations, patterns, and responses that live beneath your thoughts.
​
Instead of only talking about what's happening, we work with how it's held in your nervous system - supporting you in processing stress, trauma, and emotions in a way that feels more integrated and lasting.
​
Like the ocean, your inner world has movement beneath the surface. Together we learn how to read the currents, stay with the waves as they rise and fall, and build the capacity to feel steady within them.
​
It's about learning to listen to your body, build safety from within, and reconnect with a deeper sense of trust in yourself.
Frequently asked Questions:
Who do you work with?
I work primarily with women and adolescents who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and are eager to discover tools to help with their healing. As a licensed therapist in the state of Oregon, my virtual services allow me to work with folks across the entire state.
​
Do you Accept Insurance?
Current accepted health insurance plans include Pacific Source Health Plans, Aetna, and First Choice Health. If your insurance company is not listed, I can provide a monthly Superbill for you to receive reimbursement from your insurance.
​
How much do sessions cost?
For cash paying clients, individual psychotherapy sessions cost $160 per session. Family and couple sessions cost $180. For those who are using insurance, a copayment for each session may cost between $0 - $50 per session.
​
Is my privacy guaranteed in a virtual setting?
Absolutely! All the same privacy laws apply to a virtual setting as they do to in-person therapy. Our sessions will be held over a HIPPA-compliant video call tool (not Zoom!) to ensure your privacy is protected.
Is virtual therapy as helpful as in-person therapy?
While some individuals prefer in-person therapy sessions, virtual therapy can be just as beneficial while providing more flexibility. Not only are many of the therapeutic tools we’ll use as effective when done virtually, but you can also have your sessions from the comfort of your own home.​
