Therapists in Southwest, Portland, OR

INN with Kaiser.

It is our mission to be there with you every step of the way on your journey of self-reflection. With a holistic philosophy and a collaborative approach, we make it our mission to hear everything you have to say, especially when you think no one else will. It’s our job to help you on your journey to wellness, happiness, and personal fulfillment.

I enjoy working with college students and adults in transition, whether in the midst of changes around relationship, life stage, grief and loss, spiritual concerns, or work/education. I especially enjoy working with those seeking therapy for the first time. So often we humans try to avoid our pain or we get stuck in it. It is important to effective therapy to bring your engagement in seeking change, your honesty, and your openness to feedback.

Passionate about working with individuals who want to explore and connect with a more authentic sense of self as a basis for defining their lives, work lives and roles in the larger community. I offer a blend of personal and career counseling to provide a holistic approach to career and life planning. My typical client is interested in finding direction and fulfillment, but is overwhelmed or discouraged. Focusing on personal issues or mental health concerns can reduce barriers to moving forward. We can work on defining purpose and direction, handling stress and tackling career exploration and job search.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here and seeking support - we all deserve it. My way of assisting in your process is to help you have a different and better relationship with yourself by truly getting to know all of you - yes, even the parts of you who scare or embarrass you. Together we can work toward a more integrated whole, where you can exist with yourself in harmony. The results tend to be less shame and self-criticism, less internal and external avoidance, more self-compassion, and more manageable moods and behaviors.

I help couples, families and individuals get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable ways of living. I work with clients who want to get help quickly and don't want to spend years in therapy. I work with clients who are looking for effective, progress-oriented approaches to change.

Change is possible. A diagnosis of OCD or another anxiety disorder can be scary and confusing. It can feel like your life is defined by dread, worry, fear, and exhaustion. Much of your energy and time are likely spent trying to present to the outside world as “successful” and “having it all together”. Internally, you may feel disconnected from your core self, your innate purpose and potential, and the ability to enjoy simple moments in your life. Anxiety doesn’t have to define who you are as a human. Therapy is courageous work. I’m glad you’re here making this first step.

Teens, college students, and young adults are facing unprecedented issues with depression, anxiety, self-harm, body image, and addictions of all kinds due in large part to the prevalence of social media and technology. These influences have made growing into an adult very confusing. Having someone who can relate, listen, and help navigate our culture is essential. Together, we will discuss what you are feeling, recognize changes that can be made, and learn how to cope on your own.

Hello! I specialize in couples/sex, addictions, and trauma/anxiety. (Note: For those without Cigna, Aetna and Optum insurance, please see below for my low out-of-pocket session rates). I have been helping adults to reach their goals for 18 years. I'm here for those that want to free themselves from old patterns, be they traumatic events, anxiety attacks, destructive patterns, infidelity, issues with sex, or unhelpful styles of communication.

Accepting New Clients! I specialize in helping individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, and dissociation. My practice is centered on the belief that each person has an inherent tendency towards healing, and my role is to support the realization of this potential in my clients. I view dreams as an invaluable tool for accessing the unconscious mind, which I believe holds crucial insight for growth and self-discovery. I encourage clients to explore their dreams as a means of discovering deeper layers of meaning in their lives, cultivating a more profound sense of purpose, and realizing their full potential.

I am available for in person sessions in Portland, OR only. While I continue to practice in New Jersey, I am not taking any new NJ clients right now. I approach therapy with the belief that we all have an inherent ability to grow and heal, wired deep inside ourselves. I have great faith in this capacity to heal and transform. My approach is collaborative and respectful. I am certified in Somatic Experiencing; a body-based naturalistic approach to healing trauma and also training in IFS; Internal Family Systems therapy and EMDR. Currently, I am licensed in Oregon and New Jersey.

I believe that we each already hold the inner wisdom we need to heal ourselves. My role as therapist is to honor that wise voice and work collaboratively with you to create a space for the voice to grow. In my experience, this wisdom is rooted in the body and by working holistically with mind and body we are able to cultivate the connection to our truest, and most at ease, selves. My approach is relational at its core. By building a strong, authentic relationship, we work together to recognize what makes relationships feel hard and what new things we might try to ease them.

Let's face it. Life is a juggling act between home, work, school, friends and family. Our bodies are bioenergetic systems geared for balance. When things go well, our energy flows and we feel good. When life happens and stress occurs, we can feel anxiety, depression and physical pain. We reach outside ourselves for relief when going inside is the answer. If you are ready for change and are committed to making that happen, please make an appointment today. My approach is wholistic and I use Energy Psychology (Tapping), Zen Buddhism and Mindfulness to achieve a client's goals.

I work with people who are navigating very big losses or change. I have a lot of experience supporting people with cancer or other serious illness. I also support caregivers or medical providers. For many of us, navigating personal challenges now, in the context of global, national, and environmental traumas have dialed up our stress and we notice that we’re more distracted; shut down; irritable; overwhelmed; sad, or hopeless. I want to recognize the effort you’re making by reaching out for support in the midst of everything you’re going through.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing a safe, supportive place for clients.I draw from a perspective that emphasizes both the interpersonal/relational nature of therapy as well as the important role that culture plays in how we define ourselves and relate to one another. I find that this approach helps to facilitate a strong working alliance between myself and my clients and in doing so sets the ground for clients to begin to challenge existing patterns in their lives and experiment with making healthy changes in the way they relate to themselves and others.

If you are ready to make embodiment a priority and stop over-riding your body's messages, or if you have been on the healing journey for some time but feel stuck, you have come to the right place! My approach is experiential, mindfulness-based, somatic, and person-centered.

Is your child struggling with behaviors in school or at home? Are they navigating a new diagnosis or having difficulty processing acute or prolonged trauma? In my practice, I work directly with children using their natural language (play!) to allow them to explore their interactions with the world around them in a safe environment. With consistency, patience, and acceptance, I find children have great success in learning to regulate their emotions and behaviors inside and out of the playroom.

I work with children and their families, adolescents, individual adults, and couples. I aim to help my clients understand their experiences and to find healing and change. I also have a passion working with BIPOC individuals/families/children who are seeking support with identity, racial trauma, and acculturation. I believe that a trusting relationship with your therapist is key, and I strive to create a safe, non judgmental space for all clients. I do this by being present, active, collaborative, curious, and humorous.
