Professional statement

We all have sense for when we can benefit from more support in life. I offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy, collaborating with clients toward their goals whether that is navigating life transitions or cultivating more peace of mind.

My goal is for you to feel supported and celebrated on your healing journey. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and CBT in my practice, based on client preferences.


Message to clients

I frequently work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. Other topics that I enjoy exploring with clients include hormone health, neurodiversity, and sexuality. I seek to practice cultural humility.

My practice is flexible, offering in person sessions in Bend, Oregon, as well as telehealth video sessions to any location in Oregon. I do take Pacific Source OHP.

After graduating from Portland State University in 2012 with a Master's in Social Work, I worked on the hospital floors at St. Charles Hospital in Bend. I completed my Licensed Clinical Social Worker requirements in 2014, and transitioned to working as a full-time mental health therapist at St. Charles Outpatient Behavioral Health. I've been running my own private practice, Mountain River Therapy, since 2022.
