Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Spider-man, Hulk, Zorro, although fictional superhero characters can bring a sense of hope in a world where you may feel powerless as you navigate through your life’s uncertainties and current circumstances. If you are depressed, anxious, or grieving due to a death or a relationship loss, including the loss of a beloved pet, therapy may be able to help you heal and have more control over your life. Your passion for video games, superheroes, comic books, anime, sci-fi, fandoms, music, and other, geeky, and nerdy stuff may also be able to help you improve your mental well-being.

Do you find yourself stuck, anxious, and unable to navigate life? Recognizing this is one of the first step towards healing. My main goal is to provide an affirming, safe space for marginalized communities to express themselves and feel heard. Thoughts, emotions, perceptions and environmental factors can interfere with our ability to reach our full potential. I view our work together as a shared journey toward your ideal self. You are the architect of what is possible in therapy. Together, we can create a path towards a journey of greater fulfillment and possibilities. Change can be scary, but you're already taking the first step.

I am passionate about empowering clients to gain self confidence, a stronger sense of identity and the ability to build healthy relationships. I believe how we move through the world is directly connected to our most basic understanding of our selves, and the relationships and role models we have grown up with. I also believe our culture plays a significant role shaping our identity and the relationship with the context we live in. Beginning with this understanding, I utilize aspects of different therapeutic approaches to help clients create meaningful and positive changes to live a fuller life.

Ofrezco terapia bilingüe y podemos comunicarnos en español, inglés o ambos, según su preferencia.
Soy Nayely. I have lived in the West Coast my entire life. I am a mom, a wife and the oldest daughter of Mexican immigrants. I understand firsthand the pressures that come from attempting to fulfill expectations of the mythical "American Dream."
I firmly believe in rehabilitation; to me, this means a person is not their past actions, and every one has the capacity for positive change.
Allow me to provide you with a judgment-free space to discuss specific issues, explore existential questions, and/or enhance your overall well-being.

Hello my name is Jules (she/her). I am currently accepting new clients in Oregon. It is important to understand systemic oppression as it affects marginalized communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA plus, as cultural events and generational trauma affect our mental wellbeing. Another perspective relevant to my practice is the inclusion of feminism and a sex positive belief system. A component in my practice is eliminating stigma behind mental health issues and creating a dialogue that further removes us from the concept of “normal.”

Maybe you've been to therapy before, learned the coping skills, and gained insight into your issues, but something still feels stuck. You're having a hard time moving forward, managing your emotions, or even just sitting with them. You’re looking for something deeper from therapy, perhaps to learn how to reach the next level. Maybe you've managed life without therapy up until now, but your negative experiences are adding up, making it harder to cope. Maybe you’re seeking the type of support you haven't been able to find elsewhere.

Our lives are made up of relationships, whether they be familial, romantic, or friendly. These relationships can be sources of both great joy and great conflict, and can have a huge impact on our daily lives and well-being. Relational therapy gives you the opportunity to work on any issues that may have arisen in your relationship, and it can also highlight some of your relationship's greatest strengths. In our work together, we can rebuild, repair, and strengthen the important relationships in your life. I understand that your life is busy and time is limited. For your convenience, I offer limited evening and weekend appointments.

Our existence in this world comes with hopes, aspirations and dreams. It also comes with disappointments, challenges and hardships which can overshadow our light and purpose. These obstacles on our path to our most authentic self may have been passed down to us from our family or an injustice burdened onto us as along the way. Somewhere, amongst all of these parts of ourselves, there is hope and a belief that we can be at peace with our past and artfully manage our present so that we can fully embrace the future we deserve.
