Helping you go from anxious to anchored
COMPASSIONATE AND EFFECTIVE ANXIETY THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUAL TEENS AND ADULTS
ONLINE & IN-PERSON IN TIGARD, OREGON
I help clients who struggle with anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or a harsh inner critic to find greater peace, self-compassion and healthier boundaries and relationships.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Are you tired of feeling stuck in your anxious feelings? Of feeling out of control of your emotions, having a hard time in your relationships?
Do you wish your anxiety and inner critic weren’t getting in the way of what is truly important to you?
Are you exhausted trying to do it all? On the outside, does it look like you have it all together, but on the inside, you’re not feeling like yourself?
Has life felt more like you’re just getting by and surviving because of your anxiety, rather than thriving?
Do you feel like you’ve been carrying pressure, feeling misunderstood, and overwhelmed with anxiety… and wish you had the tools to change that?

Specialities
Anxiety
Anxiety shows up lots of different ways - worry, shame, control, perfectionism. I can help you learn to change your relationship with anxiety and find greater peace and acceptance. Let’s build your toolkit and equip you with skills and strategies to find freedom from the suffering that anxiety is causing you.
Life Transitions
Change can be tough. The experiences of heading to college, starting a new job, becoming a parent, moving to a new city or country or a tough break-up can have a huge impact on day-to-day life and your mental health. Let’s work together to find a new normal and sense of peace during this time of transition.
Maternal Mental Health
Becoming a mother is a huge, complicated life transition that can rock every fiber of a person’s being. Compassionate and knowledgable support is available for you wherever you are in your motherhood journey. If you are currently pregnant, postpartum, or have been a parent for awhile, we can navigate the challenges of your parenthood journey together.
College Students & Young Professionals
College and early adulthood can be hard - figuring out who you are, who you want to be, how to manage the stress of school, new careers, relationships, living away from home, and adulting. With a master’s in higher education and 12 years of experience working with college students, I have the experience and knowledge to help you feel grounded and equipped to navigate this new chapter.
Body Image & Disordered Eating
You are tired of hating your body and the rollercoaster of dieting and weight loss. There is a different way. Let’s work together to heal your relationship with your body and food and start your journey toward radical self-love and acceptance.
Perfectionism
You’re a high achiever, organized, and like to be in control. You’ve held it together for awhile, but lately you’re noticing perfectionism and unreasonably high expectations aren’t serving you or your mental health. I’ve been there, too. I’d love to help you learn to let go and feel a little lighter without the burden of having to be perfect and have it together all the time.
HOW I WORK
I believe therapy should be collaborative with a clear road map.
Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to decide if I’m a good fit for you. If we are, great! We’ll schedule your first appointment and begin mapping out a path to your goals.
If not, no problem. I’ll refer to you to another talented therapist in my network who can help.
