Psychotherapy

I’m a Portland, OR based therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support healing from trauma, anxiety, and relational wounds. I also have a deep commitment to working with mothers and the unique challenges they face. I see clients in person and virtually in Portland, OR and virtually in North Carolina.

In our work together, I create a sacred and supportive space where you can approach life experiences with compassionate curiosity. Therapy is a place to deepen one’s connection and relationship with the self, and to gain embodied insight about one’s personal process and patterning. It is also a place to explore one’s relationships to others to build more fulfilling connections and intimacy.

Ultimately, we work together to tenderly uncover what is true for you, to make the unconscious conscious, and to hear and amplify your inner voices in areas where they long to be heard. I offer radical approval for the shameful, dark and hidden. I welcome you in your full complexity.

I work with adults seeking to delve deep inside and are interested in experiencing Internal Family Systems. IFS cultivates self compassion, insight, and healing. It also can help create movement and growth in places that have long been stuck. As a systems therapist, I see the individual as a family of parts functioning within other various systems. I work with clients who are interested in exploring how external systems of oppression and culture have impacted their lives and worldviews.

I am a sex positive and feminist psychotherapist with a background in Integral Psychology, Relational psychotherapy, and Transpersonal approaches. I am a graduate of The California Institute of Integral Studies. I am trained by the Internal Family Systems Institute and am a Death Doula/End of Life Doula, trained by Going with Grace Academy. I am in active exploration of the intersectionality of my identities and how they impact my life and work.

It’s an honor to participate in the depth work of psychotherapy and I welcome you to reach out. Our first 20-minute conversation is free.
