Working with me feels like a real conversation—casual, honest, and supportive. Come as you are; we’ll figure things out together.

In sessions with me, you can expect a relaxed, collaborative space where we explore patterns, deepen insight, and build tools for meaningful change. I blend psychodynamic therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy to support growth with compassio

My go-to question for new clients is: If we were to have sessions together, and the therapy were working, how would you know? What would be different in your life? From there, we can tackle anything!

I like to work with people who are ready for a change. Even if you're not sure how to get there, but you feel like your relationship with yourself and life could be better, that's where I can help!

I feel lucky and grateful to be a therapist, because I find this work incredibly meaningful.

My practice is telehealth/video because I've found that clients are generally more comfortable in their own environments.

On a personal note, I grew up on the southern Oregon coast. I'm Native (Tolowa), I've been a teacher, worked in politics, lived abroad. I'm also a USCG Master Captain and sailing instructor. www.headwindscounseling.com
