Family Therapy in Portland, OR

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I'm here to help you (and your family ) live the best possible life. I'm ready to work hard with you to adjust to change, cope with trauma, build coping skills around depression and anxiety, and help you see yourself in a more compassionate light.

"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.

Not currently accepting new clients. Do you find yourself reflecting on your life experiences, perhaps wanting to create healthy changes and/or set healthy boundaries? Have you experienced trauma, illness, or other unresolved issues? Are you trying to create a space that allows you to flourish, thrive and improve your overall wellbeing?

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.
