Parenting Therapists in Portland, OR
People I work with may be: struggling to engage meaningfully in their lives and relationships - seeking individual therapy to support couples therapy - wanting to understand and change after having an affair - having difficulty communicating and connecting in a partnership - wanting to feel closer as adults in a family together (siblings, parent/child, extended/chosen family) - wanting to explore ideas and experiences around masculinity - navigating feelings about being new dads - engaged in creative or organizing work and navigating feelings of burnout and hopelessness.
I work with couples/partnerships, adult families, and individuals. I practice relational narrative therapy in a warm, conversational, and practical way, often incorporating writing of some kind. I believe therapy is a collaborative process in pursuit of preferred ways of living, facilitating different kinds of attention, perspective, and relationship.

Do you and your partner struggle with how to best parent?
While you can't change difficult situations from the past, you and I can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your current life and look at how your past may still be affecting your present. Perhaps all you need are coping skills or a different perspective.

Hello! My guess is that you're currently feeling a bit overwhelmed and possibly frustrated by the task of finding a therapist who both resonates with you and, is available.

I specialize in working with adults and teens (14+) from all backgrounds struggling with depression, anxiety (including postpartum depression and anxiety), and trauma, as well as parents who want help with the stressors of modern-day parenting.
When mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or trauma arise, we can become consumed by painful thoughts and emotions. We might feel misunderstood, different, and too scared to share what we're experiencing for fear of judgment—even from those closest to us. As isolation deepens, these emotions grow stronger, making it harder to seek help. We may pull away from activities that once brought joy, feeling stuck and hopeless, and begin to wonder if there’s something "wrong" with us, searching for a way to “fix” what's happening inside.
