Tillamook, Oregon was named from an Indian word that means “the many peoples of Nehelim.” The contact of the meaning isn’t clear, but Tillamook’s amenities abound. It’s a museum rich area on the upper coast of Oregon. Locals and tourists alike take pleasure in crabbing, clamming, fishing, and hiking in and around Tillamook Head and Three Arch Rocks. Just as meanings are sometimes unclear, our thoughts and actions can be a little foggy as well when we’re not feeling mentally healthy.

You don’t have to live life in a fog. Professional counselors in the Tillamook area are just what you need to help you have mental clarity. The right match of a counselor is the first step to feeling better.

I specialize in disordered eating and eating disorders, anxiety disorders, body focused concerns, and identity exploration (i.e. gender, sexuality, spirituality, etc). I work from a trauma-informed, anti-diet, and Intuitive Eating lens and my approach to therapy is holistic and person-centered. I aim to create a welcoming and affirming space that encourages personal reflection, growth, and self-empowerment. I invite the whole person into the room, including those parts of ourselves we may not fully understand or enjoy. I offer ways to explore the Self with curiosity and compassion. I believe that the mind and body work together as one, and that when we become more attuned to our bodies, there is vast potential for new insight and a deeper connection to our innate wisdom. I enjoy integrating therapeutic techniques to meet individual needs and may incorporate traditional talk therapy, somatic movement and mindfulness tools such as guided imagery and breathing techniques, skills training, experiential activities, and expressive arts in our sessions. I also believe that collaboration is essential to the therapeutic process: my role is not to lead, but to walk with you in moving towards a greater understanding of yourself and your desired change. It takes great courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps in seeking support. I look forward to working with you on your journey.

I believe in a goal-oriented approach to therapy by helping clients build on their strengths and values distinct to them. I encourage clients to see themselves as unique, creative, and responsible individuals; capable of striving for self-improvement and self-fulfillment. As a therapist, I see a variety of people, focusing on adults with depression and anxiety and the struggles that come along with those feelings. I am passionate about helping everyone find happiness, direction and fulfillment. I see clients with a holistic approach, emphasizing a trusting, respectful relationship, developing and empowering proactive behaviors, while appreciating their individual qualities. I believe fostering effective change is developed with openness and honesty during our sessions- focusing on individual concerns, questions and frustrations and working from there. I realize sometimes it is difficult asking for help, therefore, believe it shows how much clients understand the importance of making intentional efforts to have good health and happiness in life.
