Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Portland, OR
Are you sick of being overlooked by doctors because you don’t match their outdated image of someone with ADHD, autism, OCD, or bipolar?

Together, we create a therapeutic space that honors individuality, promotes resilience, and fosters growth in a safe, understanding environment.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar (I&II), and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorders while also being trauma informed.
I want to share your moments, learn your perspective, sort the details, and walk through your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions are designed to facilitate healing through evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will explore avenues of self-discovery and enhance social, physical, and emotional well-being. All feelings are valid; however, what is the rational of the feeling? Where did it originate from? You may find your emotions have deeper links. I offer a listening ear and empathetic understanding in a non-judgmental safe space.

I have successfully helped people reduce anxiety and depression that has only partially been helped through therapy by adding psychiatric medication that is targeted to treat worry, panic, OCD, depression and bipolar symptoms.
Accepting NEW Clients (ages 18-65) as of 5/29/25 for Medication Management (I am not taking clients for therapy). Appointments are available in 2-4 weeks. Complete the Patient Inquiry Form on my website. You will receive a response the same or next day. My practice is primarily composed of adults struggling with anxiety and depression. I find that people reach out to treatment when excessive worry, low motivation, and negative thinking can lead to feeling less confident in their work, behind on tasks at home, and impacting their relationships. I don't treat ADHD and I don't prescribe controlled substances, such as Xanax for anxiety.

I offer services for conditions like ADHD, depression, anxiety and Bipolar disorder.
You’ve been on your phone for longer than you'd like to admit. You said you’d meet up with a friend an hour ago, but you just can't seem to get moving. Your electric bill is overdue—because you simply forgot to pay it. Your laundry and dishes pile up while you spend most of your time on your latest hobby—one that you will drop as soon as it becomes boring or difficult. This leaves you feeling frustrated, ashamed, helpless, and as though something is wrong with you.

I work with people experiencing the impact of trauma- especially complex PTSD, developmental, relational, and religious trauma- as well as those experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, challenges with self-worth, Bipolar and other mood disorders, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, domestic violence and abuse intervention.
