Like you, I’ve struggled with old emotional wounds and hard to break habits that have inspired me to embark on the path of increasing my self-awareness, self-acceptance, and sense of connection with others. My work over the years as a musician and environmentalist along with my spiritual path have all informed my work as a therapist. I believe in your innate wholeness and value your unique situation, perspective, and path. I know the importance of creating a safe, secure, and open relationship with you that can guide and support your growth and healing and allow you to explore your creativity, passions, and connection to your inner guide. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon. I received a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Portland State University in June 2012. I completed my internship at the M.E.T.A.(Mindful Experiential Therapy Approaches) Counseling Clinic in Portland, Oregon, where I counseled individuals, couples, and groups. In June 2013, I graduated M.E.T.A.’s Two-Year Comprehensive Training in Hakomi, RC-S, attachment interventions, and trauma release methods. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach I use with couples to help clients understand their deeper emotions and needs and communicate them in effective ways to their partners. EFT focuses on our attachment styles, our wishes and longings, and our needs important to our personal identity. EFT is one of the most evidence-based, effective modalities to help couples find increased connection, reduce conflict and negative cycles in a relationship, and improve communication.
