Parenting Therapists in Portland, OR
Most (90+%) of my clients come to me for help with anxiety, OCD, or related disorders. Many (about half) come to me because they also have some form of neurodiversity, such as autism or ADHD, and I have specialization in both areas and understand how they can intersect. All of my clients are struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, and are experiencing high levels of distress and/or have withdrawn from their life, avoiding their fears, but also making their world smaller. They often have stopped enjoying the things they used to enjoy and are wanting to get back into living their best life.

I have practiced therapy with children, families, couples and adults since 2009.
