Female Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

I have over 13 years of experience working with a variety of issues. I approach therapy in different ways with each individual based on their needs but often pull from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space in which I provide support, encouragement, and guidance. I have experience with and enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ community including completing assessments and writing letters for gender affirming surgeries. I look forward to working with you and would be honored to be part of your journey.

At the Pacific Interprofessional Clinic, our licensed clinical psychologist provides mental and behavioral health services and our physical therapist provides physical therapy services. We will be expanding services in the fall of 2021 to include a certified Physician Assistant who will collaborate with the rest of the clinical team to treat our patients.

Not taking new Clients. Individual adult therapy that utilizes an integrative & holistic approach, by working in the present moment. My intention is to offer a nurturing & compassionate place to share & grow, while exploring what you need. In session, I will help you consciously wire in cognitive thought patterns that correlate with somatic (body) states, that connect you with your strengths. I teach experiential, mindful practices that cultivate insights & awareness that will help you notice, pause, & breathe. When we remember to tune into practices that build & support resilience, it is easier to maintain a healthier well-being.

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.

Are you trying your best and still struggling emotionally? Intrusive thoughts may be leaving you restless or down and engaging in unhealthy behaviors to get through it. I offer compassionate support to help you learn helpful ways to cope and live a healthier quality of life. My practice intentionally creates a space of healing and I center BIPOC (especially Latinx and immigrant) and queer individuals to not just survive but to thrive.

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.

I believe that a healthy outlook comes from having a good grasp of your ABC's... Accept, Balance, Cope. People often say things like, "I need to let it go," or "I need to forgive ____," etc. But we rarely talk about what it means to do that. Those phrases mean accepting that life is what it is--a balance of both good and bad--and making a choice to focus on the things we CAN change. Then "it" can stop directing our lives--we cope. Whether you need to let go of anger, fear, or sadness, I can help!

When we find ourselves in times of increased stress and uncertainty we often find our personal everyday struggles are magnified making it harder than ever to maintain a sense of hope and stability. Anxiety, depression, and grief may be more intense lately – that is where therapy comes in.

Current openings on Thursdays and Saturdays. There is a lot going on in the world, and you may be feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. You may feel like you're supposed to figure this out on your own. It can be hard to make time for yourself, instead of always focusing on everyone else's needs. I provide support for caregivers and helping professionals to help you prioritize yourself and feel more balanced. By providing an outside perspective, I can help you notice where you're getting stuck and increase your motivation to try new things. Counseling is your opportunity to reconnect with yourself.

For many of us, the hardest challenge to overcome is to ask for help. If you're reading this, you've already found the courage to start becoming the best version of yourself. While as an individual you are unique, none of us are perfect and we all experience conflict, hardships, and a variety of emotions. I believe our life experiences as well as cultural background influence the way in which we interact with the world. I am a strong proponent of collaboration and I view the therapeutic relationship as a team. I have daytime availability Monday through Thursday.

Not only do I want to help you work out your inner perspectives, create insightful breakthroughs, and gain interpersonal momentum but I also want to help in the practical aspects of life. I strive to bring the two realities of practical life troubleshooting/planning and abstract intrapsychic thought together, to create a holistic counseling experience for my clients.

Currently accepting new clients! I believe that counseling is for everyone. We all deserve to be seen and heard in our journey through life. I specialize in working with teens (16+), young adults, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, and being LGBTQ+.
