"Sometimes, we want to create change but struggle with some unknown parts of ourselves that seem to prohibit change. Habits, life long patterns and unconscious beliefs can hold us back from living the life that we long for. It takes time and courage to examine our beliefs and reach out for what we really want. As a therapist, I follow the process of each individual. Clients are viewed on a spectrum of health, rather than through a lens of pathology. This approach creates a very curious and creative focus that encourages growth at the client’s own pace. This is your time to explore what you really feel and how you want to live."

"I work with growth-oriented people striving for better ways to: grow as individuals, manage stress, connect more fully with others and achieve better balance in daily life. Common therapy focuses include acute and long-term concerns with feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, struggling to tame an overly self-critical internal voice, being unable to process sadness with confidence and ease, feeling stuck in grief and feeling unable to work through conflicts in important relationships."

"Tired of looping through "coping skills," and ready to heal? If you (or a loved one) continues to struggle with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, relationships, trauma, or other stressful life transitions, it may be time to talk. "

"You are resilient. You can overcome trauma, heal from pain, rise up out of depression, and free yourself from the grip of anxiety. Brain science confirms our minds have a profound capacity for healing, especially when tapped into correctly. At Resilient Minds, LLC, my private practice, I specialize in providing the treatments that are scientifically shown to work. With warmth, compassion and flexibility, I can help you reignite your innate capacity for connection, purpose, and resilience. You can transform your life. Reach out today to get started."

"My goal as a therapist and Clinical Supervisor is to increase your zest and vitality for life, to foster your ability to take action (empowerment), as well as to support you in having clarity (a clearer picture of yourself and others). Each of these goals, I believe, lead to an increased sense of self worth. In my time as a therapist, I have found that growth occurs both individually as well as in connection with others and that growth fostering relationships (of all kinds) that are created through mutual empathy and mutual empowerment are a key aspect of all of our lives."

"What brings you to think of talking to someone, may have to do with personal or work relationships, with past or present trauma, with serious losses, and/or may be psychological in nature. You may experience inner or outer obstacles as shutting down access to inner resources and clarity, and hope. Here, a safe therapeutic environment, where you are accompanied as you express the thoughts and feelings that occur to you about your situation, is needed. Unrushed, being accurately heard and responded to, you will gradually put together pieces of your own puzzle, leading to new insights and a sense of inner freedom. "

"As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am dedicated to supporting all who feel marginalized or alone with gaining a sense of true belonging. I have worked with a wide age range of clients with both secular and spiritual beliefs. My time working in college counseling also developed a unique passion for supporting young adults. Just a few of the many issues I can assist with include life transitions, relationship stress, gender identity, sexual issues, and navigating non-monogamy. I specialize in supporting clients in living their best, most pleasure-filled lives!"

"Therapy is a collaborative process where I try to help clients find what isn't working in their lives and help them "try on" different ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Therapy can at times be a "trial and error" where I provide coping skills for my clients and see if what I provided is useful. Although I make it a point to use evidence-based practices, I also take into consideration the context of my client's life and the current world climate when exploring issues and what would be most effective in their path for change."

"A life coach is a trained wellness professional who works with anyone currently needing a change in their lives for a more successful tomorrow. Together, we work on things currently causing you to not feel happy, successful, or loved and we set goals to make change happen."

"My desire in working with individuals is to draw out their strengths and support the cultivation of their inner guide. Everyone is on a journey of personal and spiritual development; making meaning of their lives and experiences. I consider people to be the experts in their lives, who, when supported, are able to follow their natural drive for self-actualization. All human experiences are a valuable part of the process of self-emergence. Even the greatest challenges can offer insight and fuel for a path forward. People are neither sick nor well. Rather, we are all in process, with personal depths that want for exploration."

"My work focuses on helping survivors of betrayal trauma to heal and to thrive. Most of my clients have experienced a betrayal of trust either by loved ones such as a parent, partner, or friend, or an institution such as their university or employer. I specialize in helping survivors to overcome feelings of shame and self-criticism that are actually adaptive responses to betrayal trauma, but that are no longer serving them. In learning to let go of shame and self-criticism, a new way of living becomes possible that is richer, more joyful, and more connected than was previously possible. "

"The heart of my private practice is to assist people in healing the causes of their issues stemming from physical, emotional or addictive struggles, to live a happy, healthy and vibrant life doing what they love. While psychotherapy is a core methodology in my practice, I also use other methods like Hypnosis, PSYCH-K, NLP, Emotional Freedom Technique, The Emotion Code, The Healing Codes, Ho’oponopono, and Access Consciousness, to help my clients with lasting results. I have found these processes as very effective​."

Located in NE Portland, close to public transit, with weekend and evening hours available."

"I believe that equity and trust are essential to working together toward finding solutions and gaining awareness.

I like for our work together to be interactive and empowering. In my free time you can find me interacting with water in any way I can - be it a river, the ocean or a pool."

"Are you feeling challenged by motherhood? During pregnancy and the parenting years, your mental health is often overlooked as your responsibilities increase. This is a worthwhile time, though, to seek insight into your emotions and behaviors, and make changes that help you through this often overwhelming time of life. Identity revision, anxiety, partnership concerns, career transitions, and very little time to process complex feelings can lead to ambivalence, anger, even grief. I specialize in helping women gain confidence in, and compassion for, themselves during pregnancy, postpartum, and the childrearing years."

"My passion is working with men’s issues, LGBTQ+ folk, people raised in restrictive environments, and writers/artists. In healing my own trauma, in my training, and guiding others, I know well the remarkable power of mind/body integration. I will be with you every step of the way as you emerge into a loving, connected and free self. My holistic approach to therapy is down-to-earth and gentle, centering in mindful awareness of the present moment and how your past is shaping it. I work with anxiety, depression, and early childhood trauma. We will collaborate in session to help you reconnect with innate strengths, resources, and wisdom."
