I specialize in trauma recovery of all kinds, sub-specializing in the trauma recovery from sexual abuse, and I facilitate therapy groups for both men and women for a variety of issues.

What do you love most about your job?
I find the work of helping others heal to be extraordinarily rewarding. It's an honor and a privilege to be a character in the stories of real people as they heal.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I was in Junior High School, I learned that counseling was a profession...and my family needed it. I knew then that I wanted to be a counselor some day. However, I got waylaid in my journey, and I first taught high school English for six years, before I took that leap into counseling. As I completed my coursework for my counseling degree, I counseled theft offenders in a cognitive restructuring program, and in January, 2004, I joined Columbia Counseling Associates. Then in July 2008, I moved into my own office, closer to the city of Portland. I describe what I do as a therapist not only as my “dream job” but as my “calling.”
Why should our clients choose you?
I consider my own journey of healing from childhood abuse of all kinds, in the context of extreme, rigid religious and family environments, to be one of my most essential tools. In my view, a counselor is only as effective as the work she has done on herself.
