Therapists in Tigard, OR

Although it's true that children are resilient, there are times when children and their families need focused support and therapy in order to move forward and reach emotional health and balance. I am a Clinical Psychologist and Registered Play Therapist who uses cognitive-behavioral, play therapy, animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients achieve better mental health. Having been licensed for sixteen years, I have worked extensively with children who present with anxiety, depression, a history of trauma including post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, grief issues, and behavioral concerns.

Technically, I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT). Relationally, I am an empathetic listener and collaborator. I listen and then collaborate with you to discover the opportunities for progress and growth. I believe immediate change IS possible albeit in small steps. Change brings improvement. Improvement brings more change and the cycle continues. Breaking out of the old dead-end cycle and entering a cycle of growth and change is what I am all about.

Looking for peace of mind or a clearer picture of why your child is struggling in some areas, showing brilliance in other areas and whether or not they have a learning disability, a mood or behavioral issue? Perhaps as an adult you are struggling to stay on top of everything and seek clarity regarding your neurocognitive profile so that you can achieve a greater sense of control and balance in your life. My job is to provide you with valuable information and practical recommendations that will enable you to achieve and maintain good health, peace and a sense of control.
