About Me

I provide a thoughtful, supportive space where you can explore challenges and discover new ways forward. Our work helps you gain clarity, developing practical strategies to navigate life's complexities. I aim for our sessions to be a place where you feel truly heard and understood. Clients seeking a grounded, evidence-informed approach to personal growth often find our sessions a valuable fit, fostering deeper understanding.

Approach

Building on a calm, practical atmosphere, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace that balances focused skill-building with space for reflection. I offer in-person work in Portland and secure online sessions in English, and I tailor weekly rhythm and homework to fit your life. Our work mixes measured assessment with mindfulness practice, dream exploration and relational experiments so insights translate into everyday choices. People juggling relationships, recovery, spiritual questions or burnout often find this grounded, action-oriented approach helps them follow through.
