Healing comes in many forms. With a dual background in psychology and yoga as well as a general openness to creativity, I will work with you to discover the ways in which you best can accomplish your goals. My approach to therapy combines the holistic and body oriented stances of Eastern Philosophies and Mindfulness Practices with current incarnations of Attachment and Systems oriented therapies. When working with yoga as a healing modality, I bring to the table more than a dozen years of experience with many styles of yoga as well as a deep and intuitive understanding of the practice.
As a trained and caring professional, I offer insight and tools to help you address the issues you face. I will support your process with warmth, humor, and a belief in your ability to grow. I respect the personal autonomy and human dignity of all people. I believe that families are as varied and diverse as the individuals that comprise them and as such I am committed to working with individuals and families of all configurations, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Therapy
My Portland Private Practice is open in Sellwood! Sessions are 55 mins long; $125 for individual and $150 for couples. I offer walk and talk sessions on for clients who find movement and nature to be helpful in their healing process. I also see many clients who live in WA and OR for Tele-Health sessions. Essentially, this is video or phone sessions. I am continually amazed at how effective and satisfying these sessions are for both me and my clients. Telehealth sessions are the same price as regular therapy sessions and video sessions are covered by most insurance plans. I do bill Aetna and BCBS insurance as an in network provider. I am happy to bill other insurance companies if your plan covers out of network psychotherapy. I offer a 20% discount for cash pay clients and offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments as well. *As of Dec 17, 2019 I have space for two new clients.
