Offering in person and virtual therapy in downtown White Salmon, WA

Therapy That’s Right For
You & Your Family

Drawing on a range of experiences and training, I offer individual therapy services and parent coaching tailored to the unique needs and capacities of each person. Influenced by the healing elements of time outdoors and the understanding that all people are influenced by the interdependent and interrelated components of life, I start exactly where you find yourself and co-creates therapeutic plans that support healing and growth.

As a mom and wife I specialize in:

Working with women who are or have struggled with postpartum depression (I survived, so can you!), understanding your individual core beliefs and needs in order to share your life in partnership (you have to come first) and understanding what tools you need in order to best show up as a mom (yes, it includes more breaths).

Explore a couple of therapeutic modalities I use in my practice.

  • Narrative therapy views you as the experts in your own life. Change occurs by externalizing the problem(s) and creating a new narrative or story, which emphasizes your competencies and strengths. We will highlight the unique outcomes that occur when you focus on a different storyline than the one holding the source of your presenting problem(s).

  • I lean on the profound benefits of Eco Therapy, encouraging outdoor experiences during sessions. Some of the most impactful moments occur while admiring the sky or strolling through the woods, fostering deeper connections and growth for clients. Nature is free medicine, let’s use it.

  • Youth are more and more on their screens and on social media. Parents feel helpless and youth feel out of control and scared. How can we create loving boundaries for our children? How can youth reframe their identities outside the gaze of others and through the vibrant and real world around them? These are questions we can explore together through individual, family or group support sessions.

  • DBT is a type of behavioral therapy that aims to change behavioral, emotional, and cognitive patterns associated with dysfunction by helping you improve your emotional and cognitive regulation. Change happens through mindfulness, developing skills to manage distress tolerance and emotional regulation, and improving interpersonal problem solving skills.

What Sets Me Apart

  • And so can you.

    It was super scary. I didn't have help and felt very alone. I never want a mom to feel alone in this. Postpartum depression is so common and there's not enough information and support around it. Mine lasted for 4 years. I tried prescriptions, gardening more, getting away...but what I really needed was to be seen and understood. A place to scream my frustrations and cry about the injustice of it all.

    I now work with many woman who want to heal and show up for their families and themselves. Book a free consultation and see if Im right for you.

  • I have worked with young people my entire professional life- over 20 years! I build quick relationships with youth, enjoy their company and allow them to be seen and heard in a safe and connected environment.

  • Sometimes parents just need a little advice from someone who knows adolescents. I’m a parent of a young child, and the help I get from experts to best support my son is invaluable. Adolescents is a turbulent and awesome phase. Book a 20 min consultation to learn more or if you know you need help feel free to book a full session.

Bilingual Services

I am available for services in Spanish. I am also still an active student as I continue to hone in on the therapeutic language needed to adequately explore themes that may arise in therapy. Please accept my humble apologies for my mistakes. Though I am still learning I am also making myself available for Spanish services due to the lack of Spanish speaking therapists in our region.
