I have a 10 year+ history working with children and their caregivers in various settings (preschool, university, residential treatment, in-home, private practice). I’ve had work experiences as a play therapist, nanny, peer mentor, postpartum doula, study abroad advisor, and special ed research assistant. All of these roles have prepared me to be with and hold space for people in some capacity. I have always been deeply curious about humans and listening to how a person tells their story. I made the decision to pursue professional counseling after experiencing and processing the deaths of several close family members.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy finding a great campsite, playing with my young daughter and partner, cuddling my cats, and working on - or rather attempting to complete - a creative/DIY project. I am a dual citizen of Switzerland and the U.S. and value my multicultural, bilingual upbringing and lifestyle.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon, a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C). I have extensive training in child development, attachment parenting, postpartum mood issues, and complex grief.

I earned a MS Degree in Marriage, Couples & Family Counseling from Portland State University and a BS in Psychology from California State University Channel Islands.

The name of my practice, "Midmaples Therapy," holds deep personal significance. It is a nostalgic nod to my long-lost childhood home, where I grew up surrounded by majestic sugar maple trees. I am quite similar to you, the client, for I am also a human who experiences pain and joy. Through my work as a therapist, I strive to foster an environment of collaborative healing and growth, much like the sanctuary I experienced beneath those maple trees. All parts of you are welcome and I consider it a profound privilege to be invited into your innermost thoughts and feelings.
