I offer a serene and confidential environment to talk about matters of the heart. My goal is to help you reprocess your psychological pain and suffering in a way that releases any detrimental limits for love, contentment, and positive self-concept (ðĪŠ and ðŽ â ð). I use Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is an evidence-based and trauma-informed model.
Areas of Expertise #
- Individual emotional & relationship issues (couple or dyad) âĪïļ
- IFS is similar to psychotherapy, addressing many of the same conditions.
- I provide counseling under ORS 675.825(4)(a), which allows alternative counselors to practice legally in Oregon without a license.
- Since I am not licensed1 in Oregon, I cannot describe myself as a psychotherapist. ORS 675.020
- Psychedelic prep & integration ð/ðļ
- Prepare to take your first psychedelic journey safely
- Understand and integrate your psychedelic journey(s)
- I do not prescribe, procure, or administer substances.
- Expecting your first child? ðž
- Ready for a new full-time job without sleep? Learn the mental health tools you need before the proverbial shit hits the fan. ðĐ
- If you put more skill and effort into the first three years, you and your child will reap a lifetime of benefits.
- Lifestyle, nutrition, & physical health ðĨ
- I have studied nutrition for many years and am trained to evaluate statistical evidence.
- I am not a licensed dietician.2
- I am not a medical doctor.
