Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you are navigating ADHD, trauma, overwhelm, or life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in neurodivergent affirming and trauma informed care.

Before your first appointment, you will complete your intake paperwork and required consents through the secure client portal. This allows us to use your first session to focus on your goals and what support might look like for you.

Your first session is a chance for you to share what feels important, at your pace. We will talk about your strengths, your concerns, and what feels most meaningful to you. There is no pressure to tell your full story right away.

In therapy, you can expect:

• A safe, judgment free space

• A therapist who understands ADHD, trauma, and emotional overload

• Clear explanations and practical tools

• Space to explore what matters to you

• A collaborative process where you set the pace

You do not need to prepare anything else in advance. Just come as you are.

I specialize in supporting:

• Women ages eighteen to fifty

• Adolescents ages fifteen and up

• Neurodivergent individuals

• People navigating ADHD, executive dysfunction, or learning differences

• Survivors of trauma or complex trauma

• Individuals facing attachment or relationship patterns

• Perinatal clients during pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenting

If you feel scattered, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to move forward, you are in the right place. Many of my clients have felt unseen or misunderstood in previous systems. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence based care that honors your lived experience.

I am not currently accepting young children or elderly clients.

Getting started is simple. Here is what to do:

1. Submit a Referral

You can refer yourself using the online referral form. Please include a short description of your concerns so I can determine if we are a good fit. A brief overview is enough.

2. Receive a Response

You will receive a reply within two to four business days with next steps. If I am not the best match for your needs, I will offer alternative resources or referrals.

3. Complete Intake Paperwork

Once accepted, you will receive a link to your secure TherapyNotes portal. This is where you will complete your intake forms, read practice policies, and update your information.

4. Schedule Your Intake Session

After your paperwork is complete, you can schedule your diagnostic intake appointment. During this session we will talk about your goals and create a plan for moving forward.

5. Start Your Sessions

Therapy can be weekly, biweekly, or as needed depending on your goals. My practice accepts Medicaid/OHP and offers private pay rates and a limited sliding scale.

I currently accept:

• Oregon Health Plan (OHP) through local Coordinated Care Organizations

• Self pay

• Sliding scale options (based on availability)

Insurance covers clinical therapy sessions. It does not cover non clinical services such as ESA letters, academic advocacy, or IEP/504 support. These services can be accessed through self pay or the donation supported scholarship program.

Telehealth is available to clients throughout Oregon using HIPAA compliant video platforms. You will need a private space, a reliable internet connection, and the ability to log in through your client portal.

Online referrals and this website cannot be used for emergency support.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact:

• 911

• Douglas County Crisis Line

• The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988

If you are unsure whether therapy with me is right for you, you are welcome to reach out with questions.
I am here to support you and help you find the right fit, even if that fit is not with me.
