Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (OR, WA), Qualified Mental Health Professional
Approach:
Individual, Couples, + Family Therapy
Individual Therapy is when a therapist helps one singular person through different areas of concern. Typically to address personal, professional, emotional, and psychological concerns.
Couples Therapy is when all partners in a committed relationship are treated at the same time by the same therapist. Typically to improve communication and build a stronger bond.
Family Therapy is when all members of a family involved in the conflict are treated at the same time by the same therapist. Typically to improve communication and strengthen the family unit.
Areas of Specialty:
Anxiety, Parenting, Autoimmunity and Mental Health
Anxiety is the mind and body's threat-response system misfiring in the absence of actual danger — producing fear, worry, and physical symptoms that are meant to protect us but instead interfere with daily functioning.
Autoimmunity and mental health recognizes that chronic immune dysregulation and inflammation directly impact brain function and mood, while the psychological burden of living with a chronic illness compounds depression, anxiety, and cognitive difficulties — making mind-body integration essential in care.
Certifications:
Restoration Therapy Level II is an advanced training in the Restoration Therapy model — developed by Dr. Terry Hargrave — that combines attachment theory, emotional regulation, and mindfulness to help therapists work efficiently with clients on identity and safety patterns.
