"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do"
-Brene Brown

I offer individual and relational therapy through Alive Holistic Counseling in Eugene, Oregon.

I believe that everyone is doing the best that they can, and that we all have a universal desire to be seen, understood, and accepted.  The relationship that develops with the therapist is paramount in helping support you in accomplishing the change you desire.  I utilize compassion, curiosity, creativity, and appropriate humor (therapy doesn't have to be serious 100% of the time) to ensure that our work is collaborative and effective.  I specialize in working with couples, adolescents, and adults.

Who I am:

I am an animal lover as evidenced by my furry friends that sometimes peek into sessions.  When I'm not in session you can find me outdoors walking my dog or playing softball, reading, or fiddling around on the piano.  I speak Spanish and Portuguese proficiently and enjoy really good coffee.
