About
Having gone through personal trauma and loss, I truly recognize how deeply we are affected by difficult life events. I've seen how developing new life skills can empower us to regain control and move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience providing individual and group therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. My work centers on a strengths-based approach that highlights each person’s abilities, relationships, and potential for growth. I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, and build meaningful connections that support lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan. My approach integrates trauma-informed care with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and Gestalt therapy. I focus on the whole experience of health, promoting resilience and sustainable change within a safe, supportive environment.
Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward transformation. I strive to create a collaborative, respectful space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, strengthen coping skills, and make positive changes. Together, we work to cultivate self-awareness, overcome barriers, and move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on assisting individuals in processing traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional intensity, and facilitating the integration of the traumatic experience into their past, enabling them to progress in their lives. This process follows four steps: history-taking, preparing the client, assessing the target memory, and processing the memory and finding an adaptive resolution. After this, Thriveworks EMDR therapists in Bend will continue to help individuals process the memory and evaluate the results of the treatment to ensure its effectiveness.
EMDR is primarily employed to aid individuals who have endured trauma, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and who have experienced other distressing life events.
EMDR therapy is generally less suitable for individuals currently experiencing acute trauma or those who have not yet acquired fundamental coping and distress tolerance skills. To engage in EMDR therapy effectively, one must possess a certain degree of distress tolerance.
EMDR tends to be very effective in relieving the negative symptoms associated with trauma. In a study performed by Francine Shapiro called The Role of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in Medicine: Addressing the Psychological and Physical Symptoms Stemming from Adverse Life Experiences (2014), results showed that after just three EMDR sessions, 84% of participants reported a remission of PTSD diagnosis. EMDR will often have a higher success rate for survivors of a single traumatic event than for those who have experienced repeated or multiple instances of trauma when EMDR is performed for the same amount of time. This is due to the increased intensity of the trauma and the need to process multiple events.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
