My Story

Arriving from within a framework that is based on the understanding of how trauma affects people’s lives, I can help with depression, anxiety, bipolar, stress management, ADHD, PTSD, phobias, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, and problematic relationships.

Creating a safe space for healing and growth through evidence-based therapeutic approaches

Having a background in the Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) framework, I work with people who want to live happier and healthier lives.

The TIC is an approach to be applied where an individual has a history of trauma.

I have received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a master’s in Human Services: Marriage and Family, and a master’s in Professional Counseling; from Liberty University, in Lynchburg, VA.

I am an EMDR II Practitioner, Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level II, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

My Location

As a psychotherapist in the Klamath area, State of Oregon, in the USA, I assist you to overcome depression and anxiety at the source of the underlying root cause within your own self through modern telehealth technology and countless late nights and long days of beloved study in neuroscience.

Local Understanding, Statewide Reach

Living in the Klamath region gives me unique insight into the specific challenges faced by rural and small-town Oregon residents. Through secure telehealth services, I bridge geographical barriers to provide quality mental health care regardless of your location within Oregon.

The beautiful landscapes of our state – from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific coastline – provide both inspiration and challenges for our mental wellbeing. I understand how Oregon's seasonal changes, including our rainy winters, can impact mood and psychological health.
