I provide mental health and career counseling to individuals and couples dealing with life's challenges. Do you want to understand more about yourself, about your identity, about the way the patterns you've learned in the past might no longer be serving you?

The therapeutic experience should encourage one to live a more satisfying and meaningful life. Everyone has a unique journey through this world and the sum of the experiences along the way (good or bad) make us as individual. Sometimes we get lost, hit bumps, or even get overcome with a tidal wave of things that we need help getting back on our path or creating a new one.

What makes you unique? Why are you here, and why do you feel clarity and confidence with some people (and in certain situations) and with others it's a struggle? No, there's nothing 'wrong' with you, and I know how it can feel that way, especially when things get challenging. My specialty is showing you what's "right" about you and offering grounded, practical tools you can use right away to transform your inner world and your outer results with loved ones and on the job . I especially love working with professionals who would like to feel successful in ALL areas of their life, not just at home or at work.

I work with clients making their first career decisions as well as experienced professionals who are contemplating a career change. My younger clients are usually deciding on a field of study or have chosen one based on interest in a subject, but find themselves unable to identify suitable career options. Some of my experienced clients know that they want a full-on career change, while most are looking for a better-suiting niche that allows them to leverage their skills.

Are you unsatisfied with your relationships or work, and it's not clear why? Are you looking for support with chosen or unchosen transitions? Are you having trouble making changes in your life? I help people explore their needs and values, and to feel empowered to set healthy boundaries with significant others, family members, managers and colleagues. I love helping others clarify their values and find direction. I'm here to support you at a pace that feels right for you.

Hello, I specialize in providing holistic therapy in career /college development, transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, substance use and relationship difficulties. I believe every individual has the ability to define and cultivate a path towards their idealized life. My primary focus is to help clients overcome barriers to growth by understanding the origin of their symptoms and concerns through psychoanalysis. Through this self-awareness and applied psychoeducational techniques, clients are able to move forward in their lives, building upon their inherent strengths and skills not previously recognized.

I am a doctoral psychologist who provides teletherapy and outdoor walking sessions. My office is in N. Portland. I have a specialty helping people overcome distress about climate change and environmental issues. ** CURRENTLY I ONLY HAVE OPENINGS FOR CLIENTS WITH THIS FOCUS. ** I have a direct, supportive style. I work with adult women, men and couples of diverse backgrounds and orientations. I have 25 years of experience. In addition to climate or eco-distress, I help people with personal growth; reducing anxiety or depression; dealing with losses; improving communication and relationships; and public speaking and job performance.

Each of us has capacity to grow, change, and better our quality of life, including you.

I treat adults experiencing a variety of life's challenges, including relationship problems, transition challenges, career worries, money-related difficulties, health concerns, anxiety, and depression. This work combines practical guidance, problem solving and education. My therapeutic style is collaborative. Together, we look for insight into the origins of unwanted behavioral, emotional, and relationship patterns, then use that new knowledge to develop strategies to help you get "unstuck" and move forward in your life.

While the focus of my training and experience is children and couples/families, I love working with individuals of all ages.

As a former educator, I am particularly skilled at differentiating therapeutic interventions to fit individuals to suit their needs. And, I can help parents advocate for the educational needs of their children and provide social/emotional skills training to children and adults.
