Have you ever watched Westworld? In the show, each character’s inner world is organized around a set of core memories—foundational experiences that shape how they understand themselves, relate to others, and move through their story. I approach therapy similarly.

We are all shaped by formative relationships, defining moments, inherited roles, and adaptations that once helped us belong, stay safe, or make sense of the world. Over time, these experiences become patterns: the ways we protect ourselves, seek connection, respond to conflict, and decide what is possible for us.

When we begin to understand how your inner world became organized, your reactions make more sense. We can identify the larger themes running through your life, notice the smaller patterns that keep repeating, and distinguish between what is authentically yours and what you learned to become.

That understanding creates greater freedom. Rather than continuing to live from an old script, you can decide what you want to carry forward, what needs care or revision, and where you want your story to go next.

My style is warm, strategic, collaborative, and highly personalized. I am active and engaged in sessions: listening closely, reflecting patterns, asking thoughtful and sometimes direct questions, and helping you connect what is happening now with the deeper emotional and relational structures beneath it.

Together, we create a clearer map of your internal world—your history, attachment patterns, nervous system, relationships, identities, strengths, protective strategies, and longings—and use that understanding to support intentional, meaningful change.

I currently work with individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships online throughout Oregon and Washington.
