Leading Light Counseling

Therapy for Meaningful Change and Healthier Relationships

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward? Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship strain, trauma, or a difficult life transition, therapy can offer a supportive place to find clarity and create change.

​

Who I Work With

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, loneliness, intimacy concerns, communication difficulties, trauma, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with thoughtful, creative, and high-achieving individuals looking for greater understanding, connection, and fulfillment in their lives.

 

My Background

My background includes years of clinical work in hospital and acute care settings, as well as training as a dance/movement therapist and psychologist, before establishing my private practice. That range of experience shapes how I work today — integrating evidence-based talk therapy with an understanding of how the body holds and processes stress, trauma, and emotion.

 

My Approach

My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. Depending on your needs, therapy can be:

• Solution-focused and practical — addressing a specific concern and creating meaningful change relatively quickly, or

• Deeper and longer-term — exploring longstanding patterns, relationships, trauma, and experiences that continue to affect your life today

 

New to Therapy?

If you're nervous about starting therapy, or have never been before, you don't need to know exactly what to say or how it's supposed to work. We can begin right where you are, and figure out together what kind of support will help most.

 

Let's Talk

Whether you're looking for focused support around a current challenge or interested in longer-term personal growth, my goal is to help you build greater understanding, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a more satisfying, authentic life.

​

I offer therapy for individuals, couples, and families in Lake Oswego and the greater Portland, Oregon area. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
