Therapists in Gresham, OR

Email is best, not calls! I work with any age, any need. I work most often with anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, life changes, work-related stress, and chronic pain. I take a very practical approach to helping you find peace and healing with your struggles. This is a safe, non-judgmental place to receive validation, support, feedback, and proactive help. Email is best to reach me, not phone, as phone calls disturb sessions.

We each have a story.  What is yours?  It is common to have a running narrative about who we are in the world.  “I am shy & make poor decisions.” “I am angry & create fear.” “I am kind & act with courage.” Each story can invoke a different emotion, energy, and presence. The stories we hold influence our decision-making, feelings, and experiences. Amidst life stressors, it is easy to lose our way and feel overwhelmed by a narrative that creates strong emotions and reinforces a sense of defeat. Through our work together, you’ll find opportunities to unpack your story and transform its role in your life.

I serve LGBTQ+ folk, individual who are spiritual but not religious (or who belong to multi-faith families) and others who have experienced religious wounding but who still want to make meaning in their lives through a spiritual lens.

I am experienced at working with men and women between the ages of 16 and 70 with anger, depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, PTSD, online addictions, gender identity, and other behavioral/emotional challenges. I build on an individual’s passions, discovering their skills and strengths, and using those assets to help them overcome obstacles in their lives. It is not weakness to seek help. It's wise. So, when habits turn into addictions, when anger causes rifts, or the days feel overwhelming, give me a call.

I practice from a strength-based, attachment focused and person centered approach to support people in their healing journey.

I bring over twenty years of experience as a counselor. Mi filosofía es enfocar en la capacidad del cliente. Puedo ayudar con problemas familiares, crianza de los niños, ansiedad, depresión, estrés y conflictos. Tengo mas de 20 años de experiencia como Consejera.

Social Work, Advocacy, Therapy, and Support. I dove headfirst into the social work profession over a decade ago with a passion to support my communities, advocate for my neighbors, and come alongside anyone with the strength and resilience to heal and grow.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, guided by the needs of the client. When trust is established, change happens. I offer both brief therapy or long-term, more in-depth exploration of childhood issues. I provide a supportive environment, which include compassion and a sense of humor. I use self-disclosure as appropriate, sharing my own personal experience. My standard fee is $40 per session and I offer a sliding scale for those in severe financial need. I do not accept insurance at this time. I offer a 30-minute no-cost consultation to determine suitability. I look forward to hearing from you.

I received my master's degree in Professional and Mental Health Counseling from Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2011. I have been practicing with adults, adolescents, children, and families as a therapist since that time and worked in family case management for seven years before that. I specialize in working with family relationship issues, as well as adult survivors of family dysfunction and child abuse. I strive to help clients gain a sense of equanimity and compassion towards themselves so that they can fully pursue a valued and meaningful life.

I offer counseling to individuals and couples who are struggling with issues such as: stress due to life changes, feeling depressed or down, having difficulty making changes-feeling "stuck", ashamed, frustrated, or angry about not making the changes you would like to make, relationship problems, communication problems, substance use or gambling problems, relationship with another who is using substances or gambling, difficulty after a traumatic experience, difficulty after military service / Veterans' issues, feeling anxious about making changes, grief & loss, and building a meaningful and fulfilling life.

I am an experienced Therapist. I offer counseling to couples, families and individuals. Most couples that I work with have strengths and struggles. I assist them in tuning-up their communication and problem solving skills. Individuals are often seeking therapy to better understand and treat their symptoms; such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, past unresolved issues. Causes are many; including relationship conflict, parenting, aging, illness, jobs and other life stressors. I have experience working with gay/lesbian individuals.

The therapeutic experience should encourage one to live a more satisfying and meaningful life. Everyone has a unique journey through this world and the sum of the experiences along the way (good or bad) make us as individual. Sometimes we get lost, hit bumps, or even get overcome with a tidal wave of things that we need help getting back on our path or creating a new one.

Do you have a young or teenage child who is dealing with anxiety? Is your child facing challenges with school, activities, or friends? Are you a young adult dealing with doubts, a lack of self-esteem, or lowered confidence? Are you moving from adolescence into college, adulthood, or the job world? Do you feel alone and stressed out?

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, or adults who are experiencing struggles with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and eating-related issues.
