Therapists in Portland, OR

Accepting New Clients. Hello, and welcome to my profile! I am looking forward to meeting you! Life can be difficult at times (transitions, separations, parenting, relationships, illness, loss/grief, work issues, addictions, codependency), and sometimes it is hard to handle all of it. I am here to help and support you on your journey.

It seems we often desire a sense of secure connection while also living in line with our authentic self. My therapeutic style is integrative and relational based, emphasizing mind-body work and self-compassion. My clients might experience: addiction, panic, worry, codependency, perfectionism, depression, impulsivity, interpersonal conflict, avoidance, attachment wounds, people pleasing, shame, trauma, loneliness, trouble relaxing, life adjustments, limiting core beliefs, mood swings. Client needs/goals might include: attunement, decreasing stress, learning to ground mindfully, building insight, coping and communication skills.

I am committed to helping you discover & embrace your unique sense of self and navigate the spectrum of emotions included in the human experience. Together we can create a brave space to explore difficult conversations and embrace discomfort & growth. Don't worry, laughter and celebration are also key components in my practice. I approach clients with empathy and open-mindedness in an effort to walk with them on the road to embracing who they are and are on the way to becoming.

I know finding the right fit for a therapist can be a bit like shopping for a sofa: try a bunch before finding the one that makes you want to rest and stay a while. I’ll offer a few details that might make this process feel a little more directive. I am a licensed professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist candidate. My work is relational at its core, whether I am working with individuals, or larger units. Those who seem to get the most out of working with me are in touch with their internal emotional landscapes and interested in being active participants in their healing.

Calm, Confident and Compassionate! What are you hoping for? A first step in what we aspire toward is having a clear vision of the goal. The next step is trusting there's a way to get there. You're here because you are wanting to take your next step, trusting that something new is possible. I believe safe, constructive therapeutic relationships 'reveal' and heal, in that they can provide new insights and opportunities to 're-wire' the brain. We were never meant to do things in our own strength, isolated from relationship and without help. Let's create some new possibilities on your journey.

In couples counseling, Kerry and Banjo both work from the Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model, as taught by Terry Real. We have been immersed in this valuable framework for years, engaging it both professionally and personally, and are currently in the final stages of RLT certification. We realize that by being in relationship with ourselves and others in a way that is accountable, empathetic, and vulnerable, we are able to flourish as partners, parents, and professionals. We hope to help you do the same in your relational life.

"...Psychotherapy...is as varied as human individuals. Treat every patient as individual as possible...the solution of the problem is always an individual one," wrote CG Jung. While living our lives we all go through periods of struggle and difficulty. From time to time help is needed in the form of counseling to assimilate and integrate the problems, and/or otherwise painful emotions. My approach to therapy is humanistic and client centered. I value each person as an individual. I will work collaboratively with you to nurture and support the healing and changes you envision for yourself.

Do you find yourself having intrusive thoughts about sex throughout the day that you can't stop? Are you spending too much time pursuing your sexual desires and fantasies? Are these thoughts starting to impact your relationships with your friends and family? Do you feel responsibility for the happiness of the other people in your life? Are you able to handle the thought of someone not liking you? Have you experienced trauma? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, or other emotions that make life feel unmanageable? With the right tools, you can live a more balanced life. I look forward to hearing your story.

- - - In Person Sessions Available - - - Deciding to go to therapy conjures up every TV or movie depiction of a client and therapist sitting in a dimly lit room while the client talks and talks about their problems. They never show the actual work that is necessary for real change to happen. They just show weekly sessions, and BOOM… an epiphany is made and they’re all better. Sadly, many of us have been in therapy on and off for years, mistakenly thinking that this was all that was necessary. You want more than that.

Depression, anxiety, and relational stress can keep you from living your life to its full potential. While difficult and stressful experiences are unavoidable in life, there is a way for you to find joy, purpose, and passion again with the right support. With the help of mindfulness-based counseling, I can help you heal and thrive again! Some of the issues I can help you with include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, couple's work, co-dependency, historical trauma, Men's Issues, cultural oppression, life purpose/career, parenting issues, creative blocks, and Climate anxiety and grief.

Welcome. I believe that finding a safe space to share and reflect on our experiences is often the most important factor in healing. Given this space over time, we can make decisions that support our well-being on our own terms. I strive to create this calm and open-minded environment with a style that is curious, empathic, and honest. Using an integrative approach, we may use a variety of techniques and ideas to assist with your personal goals.

Are you struggling with anxiety, OCD, mood or relationship issues? Going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Do you have disturbing thoughts or compulsions related to OCD or other fears ? Have you lost a loved one or dealing with relationship issues. Hope and change are possible regardless of your struggle. Having someone listen and challenge you to look inside can help build new insight to cope with life's challenges. I am here to work with you on that path, building your ability to work through life's challenges

I believe psychotherapy is a project between two people where sources of emotional pain and anguish are discovered and revisited, where what has been denied, unimagined, forgotten, or come to be unspeakable can become imagined, felt and spoken. The process generates an understanding of ourselves that is vastly more dynamic than what our relationships, politics and culture allow, leading to the easing of suffering and the creation of new possibilities.

I work with people in transition or who are preparing for change. Artists, actors and writers. Those in bereavement. Or who are living with a catastrophic health-related diagnosis, recent or of long duration. Caregivers. Mental health interns who need to explore their own issues in order to practice mindfully. Folks who are using substances more than they want. People who want to decrease their distress but who also have a curiosity about its sources. People who want to talk with someone about the most important thing in the world, perhaps to discover what that is.

No matter how difficult the problem you are facing, there is a solution. My therapeutic approach is designed to help you gain awareness and understanding into whatever is troubling you and to assist you in developing the practical skills to handle these issues more effectively. I believe that within our problems lie the keys to further growth and development when they are unfolded with awareness. Together, we will create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet your desired goals in therapy.
