Hi and thank you for your consideration. Relationships with professors led to my providing therapy as an undergraduate student majoring in Community Service at University of Oregon. After receiving a Masters Degree in Social Work, the majority of my career was working 23 years for the National Center for PTSD. I had the extraordinary experience of creating my own job description as a Health Scientist in the emerging field of Disaster Mental Health. Over the course of these years, I responded to more than a dozen Presidentially-declared catastrophic events. At first, I worked with survivors or next-of-kin. As a first responder, I learned what every first responder learns when working with people in need. Without intention, we receive more than we give. It is, if you will, sacred work. It has long been important to me to conceptualize what I am trying to achieve professionally. Toward that end, I published research, published guidelines to practice, etc. Eventually, I became a national, and then international consultant regarding emergency response policies, be they federal, state, county, or institutional. In 2018, I received a Fulbright grant to continue the work I began in Ukraine, following the revolution in 2014. In 2022, I began offering telemental health therapy and have been enjoying the work and the progress with my clients.

I'm BIPOC & culturally sensitive. You may be reading this at a time where you're going through a crisis & need moral support. Perhaps you're starting to doubt yourself and dimming your flame. My name means "Light" so my greatest gift to you is us shedding a 'light' on your problems and finding compassionate solutions to help you. I offer compassionate therapy, rooted in the transformative power of holistic healing. We will apply principles of mindfulness, spirituality, psychoanalysis and faith based counseling in our conversations. I specialize in guiding individuals through transformative healing journeys, drawing from my personal experiences and a compassionate, holistic approach. My therap offerings encompass self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and culturally sensitive support. Through a blend of psychotherapy and holistic healing practices, I assist clients in reconnecting with their true selves, fostering resilience, and illuminating their path to personal growth and well-being. I can assist you with issues around anxiety, trauma and depression. I focus as well on men's issues. I believe that each person is a distinctive individual, brimming with untapped potential. My goal is to hold a nonjudgmental space that fosters genuine comprehension of your goals & values. I invite you to take the reigns of your life in your hands by turning over & examining every stone to reveal your authentic self & spark a sense of direction & purpose. You may be reading this while at your lowest point in life but don't worry, I'm here to guide you back to your true self ("Remember Who You Are"). I've had a spiritual near-death experience & lost my loving mother to Cancer and through it all still believe that we are all meant to shine our light in this world. I believe in the transformative power of healing through a holistic approach. I'm here to help you grow.

Do you feel that you have been pulled in a thousand directions? Are you struggling with self-care, low self-esteem, negative thinking, your job, or your relationships? Is it hard for you to relax? I help clients manage anxiety, and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify your work/life balance. We'll use a whole-self approach addressing the needs of your body and mind to achieve your therapeutic goals. I also use mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and Psychoanalytic therapy to help identify and build a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, being overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, acclimation, addiction, or recovery, I'm here to support you. Seeking therapy can be scary but it is the first step in helping your well-being. You deserve a space where you can grow, heal, and become more reflective. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with comparison and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits that are holding you back. I want to help you improve the quality of your life and provide you with a support system. I look forward to working with you.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of mental health and relationships. For the past decade, I have worked in a jail setting, where I have gained invaluable experience in crisis management. My work in this challenging environment has honed my skills in de-escalation and conflict resolution, and has taught me the importance of compassion and empathy in even the most difficult of situations. In addition to my work in the jail system, I have also maintained a thriving private practice, where I take an eclectic approach to therapy.
