Divorce Therapists in Portland, OR

I believe people have within themselves the ability to make positive changes in their lives. I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere and build a trusting relationship that allows people to explore personal struggles, honestly address issues, build a new sense of autonomy and encourages constructive life choices. The skills and knowledge learned in therapy empower my clients to manage stressful life events, improve their relationships, and foster self- esteem. Some of the treatment modalities may include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution focused therapy, play therapy, narrative therapy, family-systems theory, psychosocial education, skills training, parent training and client-centered approaches.

*** CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**** Our early beliefs about self and others shape our concept of the world and influence our relationships. Too often we hang on to the beliefs even when they are no longer serving us and we feel stuck. Communication falters and our relationships deteriorate. There is hope. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change. As a licensed professional, I will help you work through issues to find the joy and happiness you want and deserve.
