  • Relational, medical, and birth trauma

I offer in-person and virtual therapy to Oregon residents.

*I strive to maintain a fee structure commensurate with my experience, education, training, time, and emotional energy in service of my personal and professional wellbeing and integrity. I offer a limited number of reduced rate spots for clients who hold less socioeconomic privilege.  Please let me know if cost is a barrier and I will effort to meet you; though these spots are not always guaranteed, and I am always prepared to offer appropriate referrals. Those who pay the full fee (or more- ask me about sponsorship) are providing those with less financial privilege access to care. I do not accept insurance and have actively divested from the capitalist medicalization of the mental health industry, though I acknowledge the necessity of insurance for many under the institutional circumstances. Please see my Group Offerings if you want to explore more affordable and community-funded options.*

What it’s like…

Arrive. Breathe into the container of the space, let yourself to land and be received. Grab a fidget, stone, blanket, tea, art materials…whatever calls.
Allow a gently guided tour of your present experience to name the textures, thoughts, feelings, sensations, and images alive in the moment. 
Instead of just speaking the “what’s up” of your life, we will be with it to let drawings, movements, paintings, collages, sounds, or poetry emerge as I prompt your awareness towards what is tender, curious, and ready.  
Before you return to the busyness, noise, and obligations of your daily life, we’ll integrate and resource somatically. Take with you a unique invitation to continue to explore or practice what was held in session. 
Tending is the presence and practice, healing is for you to experience. 
The intersections of your unique identity, past experiences, future hopes, and present state are vital to who you are. All parts of you— your history, body, values, culture, and relationships— are welcomed to emerge in our space together. I actively practice to maintain an LGBTQIA+ -affirming, culturally-grounded, body and sex-positive, trauma-aware, and antiracist foundation. These are not statements but commitments to continuous, lifelong practices. This means I don't assume your parent name, gender, history, abilities, or any other aspect of your identity. But where you hold question about those things, I will witness and explore the unfolding alongside you. 
The systems and cultures we exist within shape our experiences of marginalization, oppression, privilege, resource, resistance, and all else in our lives. Our identities and strategies develop from these, and I aim to honor you for who you are, from where I am. I value and commit to offering relevant resources to the people I work with, and I am always glad to collaborate to find you the most appropriate support.

When you’ve just had a baby, every single resource is precious. During this time in your life, I support therapy sessions to be as accessible as possible.

This means:

  • Bring your baby to session

  • Meet virtually, with or without baby present

  • Feed your baby and allow your natural attunement to their needs

  • Reasonable wiggle room on session timing

  • Flexible cancellation policy

  • Come messy, tired, or preoccupied

I practice under the supervision of Stephen Keeley, LPC, CHT
