Therapists in Sellwood, Portland, OR

It’s hard to remember when you didn’t feel so overwhelmed that you’re barely holding it together. You’re feeling stuck and it seems like one more challenge and you’ll be in chaos-mode, scrambling to find a way back to just keeping your head above water. Sometimes the rush of anxiety or fear is so uncomfortable that it affects your concentration and ability to follow through on plans or work. Shame has haunted you through the different parts of your life and it is hard to believe that you could feel seen or that you belong, especially when you've been hurt in the past. You want relief so that you can get your life back.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, helping adults who experience depression, anxiety, and other painful feelings associated with life transitions, relationship difficulties, pandemic stress, grief and loss, past trauma, sexual assault, work-related issues, and stalled creativity. My work is collaborative--I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your concerns freely. To find a therapist who's right for you, I offer a free half-hour consultation so that you can meet me and address your emotional and financial needs. If you feel that the match is not good, there is no obligation. Email me for a quick reply.

I also have a small practice working with individuals.

Life is complex, often confusing and conflicted. Distress can come with the territory. When we're distressed, and we've tried everything we know, we need outside counsel. A counselor provides an "auxiliary mind," so to speak. An alter ego. Someone to bring to bear, on your behalf, a range of knowledge that you simply haven't had occasion to acquire. Someone to provide emotional balance and an objective eye on your circumstances. Someone to help you sort out your experience.

Greetings and thank you for stopping by. I will be out of the country and not taking any new clients for the month of May 2022. Upon my return in early June, I will once again be accepting new clients. What I value most is a deep knowledge of the self, and how to eradicate past core belief systems that no longer serve us as we evolve into our true nature. If you find yourself struggling to transform your unhealthy habits and patterns, now is the time to change. This is your life, and learning to let go of the old, outdated beliefs takes courage and skills. I would love to foster your growth on your journey forward.

If you are suffering from unresolved trauma, anxiety, panic disorder, depression and/or addiction issues, I can help! These are very uncomfortable and debilitating problems.

The ultimate goal for therapy is to resolve issues from your past and develop a life that is filled with congruence and happiness.
