MSW, QMHP

I earned a Masters of social work degree from Colorado State University in 2003.

After spending 28 years in Colorado raising my children as a "solo" parent, I relocated to beautiful Oregon in the spring of 2023.

I personally know what substance abuse, addiction, and relapse feels like and how it affects your whole self.

I also live with my own mental health issues. It is because of my own personal journey that my therapeutic approach is very down to Earth, straightforward, and outside of the box techniques.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and sometimes implementing Art Therapy.

I enjoy leading groups! I have facilitated Co-Occuring SUD/MH, Relapse Prevention, and Women's Trauma groups.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults individually as well as experience in family therapy and couples therapy.

My favorite quote is "To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world." -Dr. Seuss

M.Ed, QMHP

I earned an M.Ed in counseling psychology from the University of Oregon in 2014, after moving to OR from CA.

I've worked in many different settings, including outpatient clinics and crisis centers, and have experience working with people from many backgrounds with different lived experiences, but tend to work best with older teens and adults.

My personal experiences have helped me have a deep understanding and appreciation of the process of navigating the world of mental health care. I take a feminist approach to counseling, that takes into consideration gender roles, power dynamics and social inequalities and the impact on folks mental health. I also use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT). Clients working with me can expect collaborative problem solving, candor, honesty and a bit of a disorganized desk.

I meet people where they are. I believe everyone has the capacity for change and sometimes they need a warm hand to get them there. There’s been times in my life, particularly around grief, that I couldn’t manage the feelings on my own and luckily found a great therapist who helped dig me out of that hole.

I work primarily with children and families (although plenty of adults too) and have a background in schools and crisis centers as well as a few residential facilities. I find that being your true, authentic self, you can get the most work done in mental health care. And that is always my goal in who I bring to the table.

M.Ed., QMHP

I am committed to living a life in which I can give and receive genuine gratitude and know that I am making a difference in others’ lives.

Having been born and raised in Japan, I believe that my unique cultural background is reflected in the acceptance I have for the world around me, the gratitude I demonstrate, and the humility at the core of my being. These characteristics and my commitment to helping others make me ideal as a therapist for anyone experiencing struggles in their lives.

As a co-facilitator of support groups addressing healing from childhood and adult trauma, I have extensive experience supporting survivors of interpersonal trauma. I strongly believe in peer support and interdependence encouraging growth through connecting and learning. I have also worked in public schools, with elementary school age children, for almost 10 years. 

I am a survivor of Intimate Partner Violence. I have also experienced parental alienation and post separation abuse.  I have been learning so much through vulnerability, gratitude, compassion and authenticity. 

I believe that each of us is the expert in our own lives and I want my life and my work to reflect that.

I was born and raised in Beaverton, Oregon. I got my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Oregon, and my Master of Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University, where I graduated with honors. I am passionate about working to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, specialize in co-occurring disorders, and have experience with closed-loop brain training called Neurofeedback. While working with me, you can expect trauma informed care and interventions utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

BS, QMHA

I was born in Boise, grew up in Portland, and moved to Eugene in 2020 to attend the University of Oregon. I graduated with a B.S. in Psychology in 2024, and throughout college I worked in Prevention Science, and researched the psychological symptoms of parents with substance use disorder who use fentanyl. My research interest stemmed from my own struggles with PTSD, substance use, and experiencing loss. Growing up I learned firsthand that parents need more support than is currently available. That support looks different for every person, but my philosophy when working with people stems from the belief that with compassion, destigmatization, and skill assistance people will flourish.
