Teenagers 14 + or adults residing in Oregon who are navigating the complexities of mental health challenges and seeking growth and healing. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or facing developmental and learning challenges. Perhaps they are grappling with the impacts of developmental trauma and attachment issues, or dealing with the profound effects of grief and loss. They might be undergoing life transitions or seeking support in their parenting journey. Additionally, they might be trying to navigate life with a mood disorder or be neurodivergent and seeking to better understand and leverage their unique strengths.
I am trained and experienced in the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or navigating the challenges of life transitions? You're not alone. As a compassionate and experienced mental health therapist, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
