I operate from an existential point of view; I believe we all strive to define the meaning and purpose of our lives and experiences. If you see therapy as a vehicle for healing, meaning-making, and growth, I hope I can hold that space for you, no matter what you're facing. I employ an eclectic approach with a strong grounding in cognitive-behavioral therapy, and align the tools from my experience with your personal goals for our work together. I approach the counseling relationship as a collaborative partnership where we figure out together how to heal and move forward.

I enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals who are experiencing relationship problems. I also have a background in treating depression and anxiety. My approach emphasizes helping people achieve practical results and is based in family systems and cognitive behavior theories. One of my guiding beliefs is that people are basically competent and are always seeking to solve problems on their own. In most cases this works well, but sometimes people get stuck and their attempted solutions either have no effect or make things worse. I see my role as helping people get "unstuck."

*Currently not accepting new clients* I believe you are more than your lowest moments. When you experience significant trauma and stress, you experience profound changes that impact the world around you. For many, the experiences of trauma and stress contribute to painful coping behaviors, in attempts to engage in self-preservation or self-protection. As the mind and body aims to cope with trauma and stress, the experiences of depression, anxiety, anger, isolation, low self-esteem and self-sabotage may feel burdensome, thereby affecting your relationships, your job, your home life, and your sense of autonomy.

Some of the most common types of mental health providers in Portland are psychologists, licensed counselors, therapists, psychotherapists, and licensed clinical social workers, all of whom diagnose mental health conditions and provide individualized treatment.

Services offered, education and credentials vary by type of mental health professional. Each professional in Portland then may specialize in certain areas, such as depression, marriage counseling, or anxiety.

How to find a specialist?
You can refine your search using the filters on this page. There are several categories you can filter by to find mental health professionals with the experience you are looking for. You may want to filter for CBT Psychologists in Portland, or Child Psychologists in Portland.

Many find it useful to use filters to view only psychologists that have experience working with certain issues, like Portland psychologists specializing in EMDR.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Portland specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
