INTEGRATING LIGHT AND SHADOW

creating wholeness

We all suffer at times and therapy can be an important step towards making positive changes. This process can be daunting and overwhelming, but also healing and immensely satisfying. Past trauma can cause us to constrict our beliefs about ourselves, which affecting our thoughts and behavior. Our work together will help guide you on your path of self-discovery through self-preservation. 

My practice is currently full. Please reach out if you would like to be added to the waiting list (1-2 months). I am meeting with clients exclusively online until mask mandates are lifted by the Oregon Counselors Board.  However, I do offer in person "walk and talks" on the trails of Mt. Tabor Park in SE Portland.

About Me

IMG_9952.jpeg

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where my clients can feel welcome and safe. This setting allows clients the opportunity to express themselves deeply, and identify their authentic selves. I attended Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA where I received a MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Jungian Psychology. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, based on the different needs of my clients. Some of the issues I have experience treating are anxiety, PTSD, depression, childhood trauma, relationship issues, and men's issues. As a survivor of chronic hip and back pain, treating male pelvic floor dysfunction has become one of my specialties.  My master's thesis focused on the process of creativity, inspiration, and overcoming creative stagnation. I have worked professionally in the arts as an illustrator and builder, and am currently a performing songwriter and musician.  

Depth Therapy

Counseling is an important step in facilitating the changes we wish to manifest in our lives. Exploring the unconscious world through images, thoughts, myths, and dreams, allows us to connect with unknown parts of ourselves. Getting to know ourselves on a deep level can help create wholeness and promote healing. To use a common metaphor, our psychic structure is like an iceberg, with consciousness just above the water and a much larger unconscious realm below the surface. Exploring this vast realm of thoughts and feelings can help heal traumatic wounds and provide us with valuable information about our life's purpose.
