Out of Network Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

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.

I work with couples, families, and individuals. I conduct my practice in a way that is collaborative and respectful of clients, working together to reach your goals. I truly look forward to beginning this journey with you.

There is a lot going on in the world, and you may be feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. You may be used to focusing on everyone else's needs, and it can be hard to make time for yourself. I provide support for caregivers and helping professionals to help you feel more like yourself again. I will help you notice where you've been feeling stuck so you can find a better sense of balance. Counseling is your opportunity to reconnect with yourself. I am familiar with earth-based spiritual traditions, and can help you explore the role you want spirituality to play in your life whether or not you consider yourself religious.

Deciding to come to counseling is a big decision! You need to trust the counselor to be competent, compassionate and able to help change take place. I have worked with a wide variety of clients; from individuals in major life transitions to couples in crisis, to youth and families facing issues of addiction and adjustments. I can guide you through difficulties and coach you to your highest potential. When seeking a counselor connection is the most important thing . Research shows connection is the one greatest factor to insure change will occur through counseling.

I have a passion working with youth and young adults, especially those that identify as LGBTQ+. I currently have availability for clients ages 10 through 25. I like to help clients work through depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, stress, gender dysphoria, and trauma. I use a strengths based and relational person centered approach because every client is different and deserves someone who uses their strengths in treatment. I tailor each session to the individual and I understand the importance of building therapeutic rapport with clients and I work with clients to help them feel the most comfortable in session.

I work with adults on an individual basis and consider working with clients to be a journey, where I can support and encourage. I believe therapy must be a collaborative process to work well. I look forward to being part of your journey in life. I also offer mindset coaching for athletes and exercisers with a focus on TG/GD and cis-female athletes. Please check out my website for more information on mental coaching.

I work with individuals and families across the lifespan both in person and via telehealth formats. My specialty areas include child development, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss and chronic medial issues. I have a play therapy room designed for expressive therapies and family systems work. I am certified in trauma, EMDR for children and adults and am faculty at the institute teaching in trauma informed care, play therapy, clinical supervision and animal assisted human health. My work involves complex divorce and reunification therapy. I provide clinical supervision for professionals seeking licensing or play therapy certification.

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.

Profile still under construction. Please be patient. I do have availability. Please continue viewing completed information on this page describing my resources for you. Thanks!

People often ask why I work with people affected by trauma. Why? Because I am passionate about the lifelong impacts of undiagnosed and untreated trauma on a person’s life. I am also passionate about the resilience of people and their ability to heal when proper care is provided and barriers are removed. Trauma is treatable, and no one need be “stuck” with its long-term aftereffects. We can heal from trauma, and it would be a privilege to work with you on your healing journey. Finally, building safety, trust, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do in our work together. And you are always in the lead.
