Therapy That Makes a Difference

  • Teens, adults, couples, parents, and children. I work collaboratively with all clients to create counseling goals, while also bringing my therapeutic knowledge to guide the process and tailor treatment for each unique situation.

  • No, I don’t take insurance. I am a cash pay private practice. My rates are $200 for individual sessions and $250 for couples sessions. However, I do offer reduced fee / pro bono spots as my schedule allows so feel free to ask about them.

  • I use a variety of therapeutic modalities as needed, but they are all humanistic, experiential, and emotion focused. These include: EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples and individuals, AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and DBT-C (Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children and Parents).

  • Yes! I am available for in-person therapy at my westside Bend office, as well as telehealth sessions for clients in Bend and across Oregon.

  • Yes! I am co-leading a free attachment parenting group called “Raising Young Kids: The Art of Creating Connection.” It will run in the Fall of 2026 (details and flyer below).

  • Emotions are the music of the dance between people.
