Hello! My name is Linnea (she/her). As your therapist, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, reflect, and grow.

My approach draws from anti-oppressive and anti-racist frameworks, as well as humanistic, narrative, Internal Family Systems, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and strengths-based approaches. I see you as the expert on your own life, and I strive to understand your unique experiences, identities, relationships, and the ways your broader world has shaped you.

I work with clients navigating a range of concerns, including self-esteem, trauma and post-traumatic growth, life transitions, relationship and attachment difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity exploration, perfectionism, and career uncertainty.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in public health research and as a sexual health educator. I am also a trained yoga teacher and pregnancy loss doula. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the ways our emotional, physical, and relational worlds are integrated.

Now for the professional stuff: 

I hold a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Oregon and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Occidental College. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon. I gained the majority of my clinical experience in a group practice, where I supported adult individuals, families, and couples navigating a wide range of concerns, including infidelity, attachment difficulties, the impacts of traumatic experiences, and communication difficulties.
