Parenting Therapists in Beaverton, OR

I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them solve problems and achieve their life goals. I understand both the frustration and joy of marital relationships and parenting and can help you find fulfillment in your relationships. When one person in a family has a problem, every family member is affected. Through family counseling, the strengths of each individual can be brought together to resolve problems and improve the connections each person needs.

Not accepting new clients at this time. I've been working with children, adolescents, and families for 20 years. As a parent myself, I'm familiar with the growing pains of raising a family. Each new day can be an adventure, whether we want it to be or not. I can assist you as you navigate the ups and downs of family life and parenting . I believe it's 'easier to build a child than to repair an adult.' Building a resilient, happy child begins at birth. Fostering resilience in your children through effective parenting and a supportive "village" is a gift they will have the rest of their lives.

With my client centered focus, I work hard to build a therapeutic relationship that creates a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space for each client to be able to present themselves to their fullest potential. My priority is to guide and support each client in their journey to develop their own sense of self-love, confidence, and peace of mind and body. Some of the issues I work with are parenting support, parent -child relationship issues, family conflict, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues at home/school, emotional dysregulation/outburst, coping skills, life transitions, stress, teen violence and trauma.

Depression, anxiety, conflict or life transitions can leave us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Therapy can, and should, be a safe and collaborative relationship where we work through the complications of life and relationships to find a more hopeful, rewarding and loving experience of the world. I want you to feel active in your therapy as we work toward gentle healing and personal growth. In addition to working with individuals, couples and families, I write and connect through Core Parenting (coreparentingpdx.com) where I help parents follow their own inner wisdom through the joys and challenges of parenthood and co- parenting .

I have been practicing in Oregon since 1985. I am very open, honest and interactive. I enjoy what I do and to see clients being empowered to make a difference for themselves in their lives, is my reward. I am bilingual and speak Farsi. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and teenagers of all cultures. Being culturally different has given me a more of a perspective to allow more understanding and compassion in helping others.

When a person is ready for change, they are aware of feelings, thoughts and behaviors they can address in themselves to make progress happen. They have identified whether they can work by themselves or with others to change a difficult situation, or if they need to accept the current situation for what it is. I enjoy helping children, adolescents, adults and their families work toward this place of change and acceptance together. With humor, support and a neutral stance, I help individuals identify and obtain healthy life choices for themselves.

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

Do you feel exhausted keeping it all together? Or maybe like your brain has a hamster wheel spinning through responsibilities, forgotten tasks, and “should-dos,” without the energy to do them? Are you scrambling to cover up dropped responsibilities? Does the feeling of shame and overwhelm make you want to quit, but slowing down feels impossible? Together, we can find space to balance the spinning plates and feel like you don’t have to be on high alert for something crashing down. We can repair dropped plates—relationships, school, work, parenting , or other important things—even if it feels like they can’t be repaired today.

I work with people who are interested in the process of finding healing, wholeness and meaning. Our work will focus on your concerns, whether expressed as depression, anxiety, PTSD, parenting , life transitions, spirituality, relationship issues, loss & grief, childhood trauma, identity issues or self-understanding. We will explore your inner world with compassion and without judgment in order to facilitate greater self-awareness, healing and transformation.

I believe all individuals have strengths and the capacity to meet their full potential. One's family and support system is a crucial part in growth and healing. My main approach is to provide a safe and secure environment for clients to process feelings and learn to manage emotions and behaviors. I believe that therapy can and should be fun, especially for children! I incorporate play, art, humor, sandtray, and symbolism to aid in the therapeutic process. My therapy dog, Daisy, is present one day a week and is used for animal assisted therapy. Please feel free to email me to discuss getting started with therapy.

I assist youth and families to build and maintain strong relationships. I teach parents skills to help their children both change challenging behavior and shift to a place of deep healing and connection. I address family of origin issues with parents allowing them to cope with their past, so that they can remain responsive, engaged and calm during stressful times. I assist in working through trauma coming from child abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and violence. I assist those going through stages of grief: helping them learn how to live beyond the loss.

Being partnered can be expansive and wonderful and lonely and disorientating and sometimes all these things at once. Couples come to therapy for a number of reasons and the hope is to get a better understanding of who the couple is by unpacking how they came to be. Some common reasons for couples work is life transitions, work life balance, failing to connect, infertility/ivf/adoption, parenting styles and differences, infidelity, contemplating long term commitment and orchestrating morals and values of self and then as the couple together.
