Frequently Asked Questions


Who do you serve?

For psychotherapy services, I work with anyone who is 18 years and older who is a resident of either Oregon or Washington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington. For Human Design mentorship services, I work with anyone in the world who is currently in a physical health, mental health, or spiritual healing field, who would like to learn how to use human design to better serve their current clients/ consumers as well as learn more about themselves. Human Design readings are for anyone in the world who would like to deepen their understanding of themselves– from their energy, conditioning, purpose, strengths, and unique qualities. 

Therapy services are completely separate from human design mentorship and readings.

What is human design?

Human design is the science of differentiation. Human design has a mystical origin and connects ancient modalities with modern science. Human design tells you how your unique energy body is designed and it helps you learn how to work with your energy rather than against it. Throughout our lives, we pick up a lot of conditioning from people in our lives and society as a whole that tells us who we are, how to make decisions, and what we should focus on. Conditioning is neither good nor bad, but it can impact us by not living true to who we are meant to be and how we uniquely process energy in our body. This can impact our mental health and wellness, create distress in our lives, and/or contribute to making it difficult to listen to our own inner knowing. Understanding your human design can improve your life in so many ways and it can help you get to know yourself better as well as help you understand ways that you have been fighting against the natural rhythm of your energy. Human design can help you embrace strengths and gifts that you are here to shine into the world.

How can I schedule a therapy session?

You can schedule an appointment by going to the contact section of my website and filling out the form. From there, I will then email you back with times to do a free 15 minute consultation to ensure that I am a good fit and then we will schedule your intake from there.

What therapeutic approaches are used the most in therapy services?

I use many therapeutic approaches, but the ones that are most notable are Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic interventions, energy psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, and narrative therapy techniques.

What is needed to do psychotherapy virtually?

For virtual psychotherapy you will need a phone, computer, or tablet as well as internet connection. Additionally, you will need a private space that allows you to focus in to our session together.

Why did you choose the name Ultraviolet Trauma Counseling?

Ultraviolet light lies beyond the human eye, it is there but we can’t see it on our own. There are so many aspects of us as humans that are similar. Each person has experiences that lie beyond what others can see and we often respond to our world from those hurt, wounded, or rejected parts of ourselves. Trauma counseling can help us learn what lies beyond what we can see so that we can heal. You are already whole, working through trauma and other mental health struggles can help you access, feel, and live in your wholeness.
