Female Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

I believe we all have a story to tell, and that each person is the expert of their own. I think we are all connected to and shaped by one another and that for a person to truly be well occurs when physical, psycho, social, and spiritual needs are met. Part of my role is to watch for patterns on your journey and help you learn strategies to navigate. Another is to gently help unravel the thoughts and ideas in your head to help create goals and milestones. Some stories are intertwined with such tragedy and challenges that my role is to bear witness, walk beside you, and help you find a pathway to healing, growth, and actualization.

I work with children and families who are experiencing difficulties in a number of different areas or who just need support as they go through different phases of life. I have experience working with parents with children whose age range from newborn to young adult. I also have experience working directly with children as young as 3 to young adult. I am skilled in supporting children and parents experiencing struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, significant transitions in life, LGBTQ+ difficulties, and custody concerns.

I work with clients across the lifespan and provide parent consultations when working with children/adolescents. I provide support for anxiety, behavioral challenges, depression, family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, peer relationships, school issues, and trauma. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for any work we will do together. When you feel safe within the therapeutic relationship, that is when real healing or progress can occur.

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.
