Therapists in 97201

I have offices in Redmond, WA and Portland, OR. I'm licensed in NY, OR, WA, currently inactive status in HI and CA. I do double sessions and am practicing virtually only. Treatment is very focused, short term, holistic therapy for a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and relationships. I work with families, couples or individuals of all ages.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years experience in university and private practice settings. My work focuses on adults with a range of concerns, including depression and anxiety, difficult life transitions, relationship problems or losses, trauma, and identity. I have specific expertise working with young adults and the common challenges experienced at that time. I also enjoy working with individuals of diverse identities and backgrounds, which has been a focus in both my career and my ongoing education.

I have worked in complicated systems which include the criminal legal system, working with houseless folks seeking services and in primary care working with youth and families in pediatrics. I base my practice as trauma-informed, client centered, and using a social justice lens. My practice consists of Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapy.

Love. Joy. Ecstasy. Awe. In my 16 years of clinical experience, I’ve discovered that we each have far more capacity for these expansive feelings than we often realize. Whether you are struggling to get through the daily grind, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them! I’m eager to share what I’ve learned about our abilities to break out of old patterns of shame, hurt, and fear into fruitful creativity and communion with the most inspiring aspects of being alive.

I work with a wide range of client's wanting to focus on anxiety, ways of coping, depression, life and work stress, trauma, PTSD, self-exploration and growth, relationship challenges, women empowerment, LGBTQIA issues, body image concerns, and eating disorders/disordered eating. I work primarily from an emotion focused lens. My goal is to provide trauma-informed, social justice-oriented and culturally aware therapy and a space where you can feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Please note that I have a virtual-only practice in the states of Oregon and Washington.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING SUPERVISION CLIENTS------------All therapists and social workers have moments in this field where we need someone to debrief an experience with. Sometimes we just need someone to hold space for our experiences and bare witness to the challenges and heartbreak this profession often brings. No matter what stage you are at in your career, just starting out or 15 years in, a good supervisor can feel like a lifeline. I specialize in offering supervision to CSWAs, LPC-I and licensed professionals seeking supervision in the state of Oregon.

Are you and your partner struggling with what seems to be the same type of argument over and over? Are you concerned about the state of your marriage or relationship? I'm a firm believer that most relationships can be repaired. It IS possible to learn how to reestablish the joy and intimacy of an earlier time in your relationship. As an AAMFT Clinical Fellow and Supervisor as well as Founder Emeritus of one the region's largest mental health practices, I look forward to helping you uncover what's keeping you stuck. I take a compassionate, yet direct and results-oriented approach, to treating anxiety and relationship issues.

Reaching out for help can be terrifying especially when we're hurting. Throughout the past decade I've worked with University of Houston's Graduate College of Social Work, Menninger Clinic, The Council on Recovery and Montrose Center. I have specific interest in working with men and couples who are looking to deepen intimacy within themselves and in their relationships. As an educator and clinical supervisor, I offer guidance to students as they establish and fine-tune their love for this work. I commit myself to co-creating a therapeutic environment where safety and growth are of top priority. We are in this together.

I work with individuals who are struggling in the academic, workplace or home setting due to problems with ADHD, a learning disability, or depression and anxiety. I also clarify diagnostic questions related to other mental health issues. I specialize in completing comprehensive evaluations that can highlight cognitive and personal strengths, and help you and your providers understand diagnostic questions. My evaluations can help you secure support and accommodations at school or in the workplace and provide recommendations for treatment and interventions that can help you feel better.

Are you finding yourself struggling to handle life's challenges more and more lately? You are not alone. We are living in unprecedented times that have intensified previously manageable challenges, or brought new ones into our lives. I am here to help you navigate your journey to mental health wellness. Whether it be from coping with anxiety or depression, to strengthening coping skills in general, this journey is about you. As such I am committed to providing you a safe space that is free of all judgement.

I teach people how to build a strong sense of Self and use that powerful foundation to create the life they desire. To make it in this world, you may have invested in “being normal” or just "surviving" and, in that process, forgotten who you truly are. Many people who identify as highly sensitive, or neurodiverse find themselves in this situation, as well as people who have experienced trauma or significant change. Reconnecting with your authentic self allows you to: experience increased success & abundance, cultivate closer relationships, undam your creativity, and build resilience.

I am committed to helping you care for and nurture yourself as a whole. This includes viewing and incorporating your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects beyond the behavior in a particular moment. I value freedom of expression and centering a client’s voice and choice throughout the therapeutic process. The ability to choose and make self-fulfilling and empowering decisions is a constant focus of my therapeutic process, regardless of the topic. Our work together will integrate compassionate listening with effective interventions to support your strengths and goals.
