*Blessings, at this time I am accepting patients who have Health Share/Care Oregon. If you would like to be added to the waitlist please email me. Peace and Blessings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, focusing on children, teens, families, and individuals​ who may be in need of mental health healing. I absolutely love making authentic connections and watching the greatness of human spirit realized.

I believe life is a sacred process in which we are meant to learn and grow. The more conscious we are during this evolutionary journey, the more we can reduce our suffering and the suffering of others. I have been supporting clients since 2014. I work with individual adults struggling with life transitions, relationships and intimacy, traumatic events, and spiritual inquiry and exploration. Through a collaborative process, we will shine a compassionate light on difficult topics that have held you back from healing past experiences and create healthier, empowering patterns.

It's my privilege to work as a Mental Health Counselor. I offer a safe, non judgmental, place where people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I have expertise addressing relationship conflicts, child/parent struggles, separation/divorce, substance abuse, and codependency issues. When we are suffering and in need of counseling we sometimes endure a great deal before we recognize there is a problem that needs to be addressed. If you find yourself struggling in any one of these areas call me to help you find the joy in everyday life.

I am passionate about supporting people as they grow into their best selves, learn to be seen for who they are rather than what they look like, and strive to accept imperfections and pain with greater self-compassion. I treat eating disorders (binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, exercise addiction), anxiety, depression, traits of borderline personality, interpersonal trauma, and relationship problems in families and couples. I believe that a collaborative and accepting relationship is needed for people to change and heal.

Hi and welcome! I’m glad you stopped by to learn a little bit more about my practice. The majority of client’s I work with are individuals who struggle with high levels of anxiety perfectionism and relationship challenges. I commonly hear things like I can’t stop thinking about this thing(s) it distracts me at work and keeps me up at night. Some experience a lot of fear and worry around socializing being in public and other things that cause high distress. Many describe coming to a place where anxiety controlled how they showed up in life including their relationship with themselves and others. Anxiety is common so you're not alone!

I am available for telephonic and video counseling services. Please message me for more information. It is a time of difficulty for many and I am flexible with a strong desire to help. In a time of financial stress my fees are completely negotiable to your ability and needs. I am also diligently working on expanding my credentialing with insurance companies if I am not already covered by your insurance provider. "One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity". -A.Schweitzer

I work with individuals and couples. I specialize in relationships where one or both partners are Autistic or ADHD. I also help individuals heal from religious trauma and CPTSD. I hold a neuro-divergent affirming lens because I believe neurodiversity is a strength.

I am a therapist and clinical supervisor based in Portland, OR. Some areas I have experience in include disability, chronic illness, queer and trans folks, gender affirming care, various forms of neurodiversity, trauma, oppression, navigating social services - both as clients and workers, and substance use. I am grateful to have had a career working where I have worked with a diverse group of people on a wide range of issues and I hope this trend continues. At this time, I work with adults and teens. If you think I could be a good fit for you, or have additional questions, please reach out. I am happy to offer free consultations.

I want to help you seek a more balanced life, build a greater sense of self acceptance, and develop the confidence to pursue growth. My goal as a therapist is to provide a supportive space where you can develop the skills necessary to enhance the quality of your life, heal from trauma and shame, and begin to live in greater alignment with your values. Using a strength-based therapeutic style centered around your knowledge and experience allows us to find strategies that will support you in managing unwanted symptoms. I value the importance that trust, humor, and transparency play in this process of exploration and change.

Working with those who struggle in the areas of relationship, self-esteem, depression and anxiety. Often times this is the result of some type of unprocessed life event or trauma that may include dysfunctional families, sex abuse, abandonment, grief, loss, shame, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Bipolar Disorder,or other disorders. My purpose as a counselor is to provide a safe place where together we will explore your conscious and unconscious awareness. I believe this may provide insight into the areas of life where you may be having difficulty. Let me help you find happiness and overall well being. -Kathy

*** CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**** Our early beliefs about self and others shape our concept of the world and influence our relationships. Too often we hang on to the beliefs even when they are no longer serving us and we feel stuck. Communication falters and our relationships deteriorate. There is hope. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change. As a licensed professional, I will help you work through issues to find the joy and happiness you want and deserve.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, and/or a general uncertainty on where to go in life? Have the changes of the last year made you feel isolated and struggling to cope with life pressures? Are past traumas interfering your daily life to the point to where you're ready to take steps to gain relief? Do you feel like you would benefit from having someone in your corner to listen, strategize, and guide you through these difficult times? (Access Notes: Currently on medical leave, will respond to all inquiries in order they are received after I return)

Life can be difficult at times. Sometimes we are able to navigate it alone and other times we need someone to walk through it with us, helping us navigate its ups and downs with all its turns and surprises. I am a person centered, existential therapist influenced by object relations therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I would like to help you. I would be privileged to enter into your life, listen to you with empathy and understanding and be there with you as you go through all that life may bring you.

My Practice Is Available For New Clients Immediately believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. A person's mental health and many common mental disorders are shaped by various social, economic, and physical environments operating at different stages of life. Good mental health is integral to human health and well-being. Risk factors for many common mental disorders are heavily associated with social inequalities. I don't discriminate against anyone, and I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).

My focus is to serve youth and adults through life transitions. I additionally, love working with couples in any stage of their relationship (premarital, committed, or married). I employ a multi-generational approach and strongly believe that the family you were born into effects the person you are today. I also recognize that culture and heritage play into how you create meaning, which is why I take every opportunity to honor this part of individuals, as it is an important part of my identity.

My heartfelt wish is to help you find your voice and connection in the world. There are so many ways we adapt to our circumstances, family, society or culture. To fit in, you might feel like you've lost part of yourself. You may feel isolated, like no one can possibly understand or even accept you. Maybe you grew up in a family affected by addiction, identify as LGBQT, or were raised in a religion that feels unaccepting. Perhaps you're an artist or unemployed and struggling with confidence. Whatever your circumstance, you can find the joy of being you.
