Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

Congratulations! You have taken the first, often awkward, step in changing your life by looking for a therapist. Are you feeling overwhelmed with small tasks, struggling with constant worry or irritability, and missing a good night's sleep? Is your life limited due to trauma-based symptoms caused by military combat or sexual assault? Have you recently ended a relationship and are trying to cope? Have you wondered if you may have ADHD or a memory disorder? If so, please contact me so we can get started at helping you feel better.

Online sessions are available to all Oregon residents through a secure video platform. Office sessions are also available in Beaverton, Oregon. I believe my role as a counselor involves many functions, which include providing clients with a safe, compassionate, respectful environment to help them learn more about themselves. I believe everyone can make positive, real, healthy, and practical changes in their life.

The LifeSTAR program is a treatment program to help individuals who struggle with sexual addiction and other unwanted sexually compulsive behaviors. Each phase builds on the previous one for a long-term and comprehensive approach to eliminating compulsive sexual behaviors. The LifeSTAR program is a nationally recognized treatment program that is run by licensed therapists who are trained in sexual addiction recovery. Participants receive workbooks and other materials to help them in their recovery work. The phases are designed to gently uncover and heal those patterns that create and maintain addictive behaviors.

True change involves the whole person and the mobilizing of each persons strengths. I am systemically oriented, meaning I consider you in your relationship networks. My focus is time-effective, short-term therapy, solution-focused, with attention to gender, culture, and spirituality as requested by you. Although I earnestly resonate with the Christian community, my heart sincerely reaches out to all those invested in healing and will grace me the priviledge to share with them on their journey. My ideal client is one who intentionaly embraces the process of change, and in a collaborative spirit, seeks my support.

I am passionate about helping people get "unstuck" in life, relationships, and business. I believe everyone has the potential to create their best self, the healthiest version of themselves, and live the life they desire. Often times, because of challenges, pain, disappointments, and the hard "stuff" in life, people, including myself, get stuck and having a hard time moving forward. Hopelessness, depression, anxiety, sadness, low motivation, frustration, high-stress, and irritability are some of the emotions we may experience during these seasons. It can have a negative impact on our relationships, our work, and overall well-being.

Life is full of transitions. Sometimes you choose the transition; often the transition is thrust upon you. However they happen, transitions can be disorienting and disruptive. Even good transitions can be difficult to navigate. They challenge you emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally. Yet, transitions also offer an opportunity to challenge old habits and start new ones. They provide fertile ground for growth, to become more fully who you were created to be. Maybe you're in a transition right now - or considering one - and you're looking for a skilled guide and an accepting environment to work it through.

Adversity or trauma can touch anyone in all walks of life and sometimes we need extra support to come alongside us in times of difficulty. Self-determination propels individuals to do well when given the opportunity and right tools. Having a passionate motivation to help others and a desire to bring positive change to children, youth and families I believe, as a practitioner, that therapy is meant to empower individuals to make these changes. If adversity that seems insurmountable has touched your family my passion is to come alongside to partner and empower you or your loved one to overcome these challenges.

The journey of healing is a collaborative process between therapist and patient. I am direct, warm, and respectful in my professional approach and work best with people who are curious and motivated to understand themselves and learn to address current struggles in new and adaptive ways.

I work with individuals of varying ages. I work with people who have struggled with trauma. I enjoy working with a range of populations and have some experience in a number of treatment modalities. I have some focus on attachment based theories. I use expressive art as part of other treatment modalities.

Life isn’t simple. It can be really challenging to navigate, especially on our own. Have you found yourself having trouble coping with challenges you face? Have traumas, relationships, societal standards & systems left you with mazes of wounds that are seemingly never-ending? It is ok if you are unclear about things, starting the therapeutic process begins with just simply showing up. Whether you are new to seeking therapy or are an old friend of the therapeutic process, I am here to help. I am committed to creating the opportunity for you to have a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, inclusive & affirming space to empower your life.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS -- Do you feel hopeless, exhausted, or lost? Are you anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you feel lonely, or stuck in toxic relationships? Do you try hard and yet see no change? You are not on your own. Seeking the help of a therapist is a sign of strength and courage. If you are reading these words it means that you want to feel better and that you have decided to start your journey towards healing.

Please message me for wait list. Individual integrative & holistic therapy that supports healing in present. I believe nurturing counseling relationships are built together. My intention is to offer a compassionate place to share and grow, while exploring what you need. When we live with intention and practice mindful living, we can learn to cognitively re-wire thought patterns that correlate with our strengths through experiences in session and in our daily activities. We cultivate insights and awareness by remembering to utilize tools that strengthen our personal resources to build stronger foundations for a healthier well-being.

Are you confused? Exhausted? Scared? I can help. I have a unique understanding of unhealthy relationships and how they operate. Most relationships start out hopeful and happy. Many turn at some point and this is where confusion lives. My philosophy is simple...break down where it went wrong and rebuild from there. This takes a lot of work, and a lot of commitment, I won't sugar-coat...but it can be done. Or, perhaps you have issues with non-intimate relationships, maybe a parent, sibling, or child. Or maybe your child has conflicts with your ex. This too can be made healthier.

*NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Carl Jung said, "All the greatest and most important problems are fundamentally unsolvable. They can never be solved, but only outgrown." I agree with him and adopt this attitude in working with my clients, together searching where new growth is trying to emerge, perhaps identifying limiting attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that need to give way to the new thing. Feeling stuck or at your wits' end could be a sign you're ready for a new way of relating to yourself or those in your life; new growth can lead to feeling more energized, more connected, and more at peace.

I work non judgmentally with clients to examine/strengthen relationships.I work with individuals,couples and families to repair and rebuild relationships that are not functioning at their best.With the client,the current concern is examined then goals and steps toward change are developed.I feel a persons self esteem is often a key component to current concerns and difficulties being experienced, as such this is examined.I believe the child parent relationship is key to a child's development and self esteem. I work with the parent to create the strongest connection possible with their child.

I believe that people entering into a therapeutic relationship have made an empowering decision to invest and promote healthy and meaningful changes in their lives. Successful therapy requires honesty, transparency, trust, and collaboratively working towards goals that promote healthy living and optimal well-being. I employ a variety of evidence-based counseling practices, with the intent of customizing each approach to match the client and their healing journey. I have experience in working with individuals struggling with mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, severe mental illness, stress, life transitions, and addiction

Are you in search of a Story Shift in your life? A new narrative in which the old story that keeps repeating in negative mindsets or difficult emotional states is released and a new, more positive and empowering story is played out in your life chapters. A life chapter entitled, ‘Living Transformed’, one day at a time. I specialize in working with women in the areas of overall wellness (living out the best version of YOU - removing the barriers that are keeping you 'stuck'), substance use (alcohol abuse)/recovery, childhood wounds, and navigating grief & loss.

Bryan has a desire to see people live their best lives for themselves and with others. He has a keen interest in seeing people strive and thrive in their marriages.

How on earth are you supposed to choose something as important as a therapist from a two-dimensional blurb on the internet? Because it's impossible to really get a sense of who someone is from a listing, I invite you to reach out via phone, text or email, or you can visit my website & watch a short video of me & get a sense for my energy & style. Change doesn't have to take years of sessions, but it does take reaching out to get effective help, and I'd love the chance to be of assistance. These are some crazy times! COVID19 is scary, & the stress can load up on top of existing life issues, making everything feel so overwhelming.
