Who & Why
I’m a therapist because life & oppressive systems
create experiences, biases, & coping skills
that don’t always reinforce that we matter.
Therefore, my role is to support you & or your partner(s)
as you create a meaningful life worth living.
My goal is to be a consistent & collaborative
support for my clients.
Additionally, I value communicating with my clients
with transparency, kindness & directness.
__________
My identities:
White, queer, femme, cis woman.
PNW born & raised.
In a visibly queer partnership.
Pet parent.
Lover of cold river water on warm days.
________
Schedule:
Tuesday-Friday.
Session Location:
I offer telehealth and in person sessions for Oregon residents.
I am under Clinical Supervision of Rainer Quinn Catkin Rivenburgh, MAAT, ATR-BC, ATCS, LAT, LPC, SEP
________
Sliding Scale Considerations:
I have a limited number of sliding scale spots reserved.
If my sliding scale spots are full,
I am happy to refer you to other clinicians
who may be able to offer a reduced rate.
I am passionate about getting folks connected
with accessible and affordable mental health services.
Clients who are able to pay
my full rate make it possible for me
to offer sliding scale options for community members
who cannot afford my full rate.
