Therapists in Beaverton, OR

I work with adults who want to improve their lives through talk therapy and by making small changes over time. I counsel individuals who are worried, down, stressed out at work, frazzled or eager to get support for a change. I like working with folks who have difficulty concentrating, are in recovery or who have a dual-diagnosis. I also enjoy working with mothers, healthcare workers, and women seeking support for separation/divorce.

I utilize an integrative approach. This means I will draw upon different training, techniques, and ideas to assist you with your specific goals. I strive to provide a unique form of therapy for you and your unique wants and needs. Common aspects of my integrative approach: Client-centered approach grounded in empathy, genuineness, transparency and an open and non-judgmental attitude; Relational approach as often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others etc.) occupy our thoughts and impacts our mood. We can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” to learn and apply these important lessons;

Making the decision to seek professional help takes courage when feeling overwhelmed and sometimes hopeless that nothing will change. I believe therapy works and can help make that change easier and quicker than you might think.

My clients are families that may be facing a difficult transition or grief, a child or teen anxious, withdrawn, angry or out of control.

Do you feel stuck? Stuck in an unhealthy relationship? Stuck in the same emotional state - anxious, fearful, depressed, numb? As Sheryl Sandberg says, "We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change."

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities in my practice to address the unique needs of each individual.

Being human did not come with a set of instructions, but perhaps it should have. So often, humans find themselves in the mess of suffering, pain, and social programming that gets in the way of being our authentic selves. I, myself, am human first, therapist second (& ya know... 1000 things in between). I see therapy as a way to recenter and come back into YOUR own knowing. Therapy is the conscious participation in your own evolution. And I am here to assist you on your journey to evolve into the human you want to be.

In the course of my counseling career I have never heard “The one thing in in life I really enjoy is struggling with my anxiety/depression/low self-esteem/trauma/etc…” Because, that would be silly. But that’s what many people do, just that, struggle, fight and put their time and energy into focusing on something that they would swear to anyone who would listen that they don’t like in the first place. You deserve to get unstuck, move forward, or past things that have been taking up far more time and space in your life then you want. I believe in working with people to help them focus their energy on the things that matter most.

Life can be difficult and often requires adjustment. Many of us find we need some help at some point along the way. You are not alone. There is hope and help. I love helping.

I want to help you heal, grow and take responsibility for your life. My goal for clients is for them to acquire the insight, skills, and self-confidence to navigate the terrain of life and relationships more effectively.
