I am an independently licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for Washington and Idaho. I specialize in working with couples, families, and adults facing transitional life experiences and those looking to break free from undesired patterns of thinking and behaving. I enjoy identifying and navigating life’s twists and turns to help others identify a more enjoyable way of life through a Christian perspective of life. I am a solution-focused therapist, which means we begin our journey with the end in mind: where do you see yourself and how do we get there, together?

My work empowers clients by helping them find clarity amidst the chaos of distractions that impede engagement in their present experience. I believe the fundamental vehicle of change is the relationship between the counselor and the client. For me, therapy is a collaborative approach in which the therapist helps clients confront issues by staying present and exploring their narratives and relationships through different dynamics and perspectives.

Are you experiencing issues that are impacting life satisfaction, decisions, career, and relationships? You may find yourself experiencing anything from a vague sense of un-ease about your life to an intensely felt anxiety, worry or depression. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles that serve to increase awareness and build new understandings so that change may be experienced within a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Are you ready to go on a journey that promotes growth, development, and transformation? Are you willing to explore a path of relief and well-being while giving yourself the opportunity to expand and to become comfortable in your individual identity? Are you in a relationship where you often feel frustrated and invalidated? Do you feel like you're making changes and your partner fails to recognize the efforts you're making? What are the issues that keep you up all night and leave you exhausted and annoyed all day?

Are you struggling to find balance and communication in your family or relationship? Are you not sure what your next phase of life looks like? Maybe you know exactly what you want but are afraid to commit to it. Has parenting become overwhelming? These are all common issues we face as emotional beings.

For many, reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and overwhelming at times. I have enormous compassion for people going through life’s challenges and transitions and strive to create an inclusive and non-judgemental space where all parts of you are welcome. I've been working therapeutically with adults for a decade struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma/PTSD, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, boundaries, spirituality, and/or working toward personal growth. I'd be happy to guide you through the process of finding the right support.

Are you sick and tired of feeling bad? Call me! For over 20 years, Internal Family Systems has been my primary modality. I had the very good fortune of being able to train with its founder: Dr Richard Schwartz. My clients and I continue to be amazed at how effective IFS is for healing old trauma and staying clear, calm, centered and curious in the face of new experiences that life brings. Or at least knowing how to get back to that state quickly. How great is that? And, like every psychotherapist I know, I also have a toolbox of things that can help you along the way.

Life is full of challenges and sometimes we just get stuck. Most of all, I want to help you feel better and enjoy life. My work with you is about finding a way to get unstuck and move forward. My goal is to help you work through challenges, find the meaning in life again, and ultimately, live life to its fullest! My approach is to connect with you in a way that allows you to freely discuss your challenges and struggles so that I can offer insight, suggestions, and resources that are uniquely helpful to you.

I find that Motivational Interviewing has been a helpful approach for me to utilize with Solution Focused , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered to meet the client where they are and focus on their strengths to help them to identify how they can formulate the change that they are seeking in their life. I look forward to identifying the changes for the client to realize that the effort they are putting in is worth the work and effort that they put forth. I am just here to help the client enhance the tools that they already possess.

Have you drawn your last straw? I work with couples in distress regarding sexual issues, chronic conflict, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD. My focus in couple therapy is to understand and give space to even the ugliest parts of you and your partner that have been preventing the connection you once felt. As we contextualize parts and patterns in your experience, we can uncover the stuck-ness that is keeping you from feeling the satisfaction and safety you seek. While I see many wonderful, burned-out mothers and wives, I also have extensive experience with courageous men who also enter the "feeling" space.

In my practice I help clients with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. If you can imagine I have a "therapeutic toolbelt" with various techniques and skills that, with your feedback, we will collaboratively use to create a unique and custom therapeutic experience together. These tools are centered around a holistic approach, to include mindfulness and yoga, for those clients who would like to explore all aspects of their mental wellness.

LICENSED IN OREGON AND WASHINGTON STATE. I am a culturally informed person of color and an ANXIETY and CHILD/FAMILY EXPERT. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Portland with over 10 years of clinical experience. I offer psychotherapy and psychological/educational testing to children, teens, and adults. I work from a client-centered approach utilizing evidence-based treatment approaches. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders, Trauma, OCD, Mood Disorders, Substance Use Issues, and Psychological Assessment for Children, Teens, and Adults.

I see individuals and couples for all types of issues; burnout, anxiety, depression, adult diagnosis (or suspicion) of neurodiversity, trauma, relationship issues, identity issues, and more. All of these are great reasons to seek out counseling. Whether you don't know where to start, or you have a specific issue you want to work on, that's okay; we'll figure it out together. So much of therapy is about the relationship between client and therapist. My clients want a space where they feel safe to explore and process their emotions, while looking for solutions to get more in touch with themselves.

Being human is challenging. Am I enough? Too much? Feelings of anxiety and inadequacy can interfere with one’s ability to connect with the self and others. Personal growth requires integration of the mind, body, and soul. Understanding past wounds, exploring difficult emotions and identifying behavioral patterns are steps to creating more fulfilling relationships and providing relief from pain and hurt in one’s life. With empathy, acceptance, and openness, I aim to be a guide along your path toward self-discovery, authenticity, and belonging. *I am an LGBTQIA+ Kink/Poly Ally, I believe in social justice and racial equity.

As human being, I know that life situations could be difficult to manage by our own. However, past traumas, bad relationships (toxic/domestic abuse), stress, divorces, financial struggles, mental health disorders, depression, grieves...DON"T have to determine our life moving forward. IT IS POSSIBLE to recover from those big stones that we find in our life path! I love to work with my clients from a healing/recovery perspective and none judgmental attitude to help them get a better quality of life.

Accepting New Clients. As a sex and relationship therapist, I bring a somatic perspective to sessions: highlighting the nervous system, locating feelings in the body, and developing skills for increased pleasure and embodiment. My primary focus is relationships, including relationship to others, community, self, the body, and the natural world. I believe that connecting with ourselves leads to a deeper connection with others, and I practice both individual and relational therapy. In session, I invite deeper conversations around sexuality and gender, which are foundational aspects of who we are and how we express ourselves.
