Racial Identity Therapists in Portland, OR
For my clients, these layers of oppression may result in anxiety, depression, and racial identity concerns.
In session, I draw from narrative, compassion-focused, embodied, and anti-oppressive approaches as well as my own lived experience of marginalization. If your cultural experience has been left out of therapy in the past, I can be a good fit. I have received training in approaches such as psychoanalysis, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and somatic experiencing.

I work with individuals struggling with issues related to ADHD and or ASD, gender identity exploration, trauma, racial identity exploration .
I practice from a somatic (body focused) perspective, drawing from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and mindfulness practices.

I approach our work from a narrative therapy perspective. As its name implies, we will work on your story and how we define our lives through our learned history. Narrative therapy begins with the understanding that you are the expert on your life; my job is to help you look at that story. Life is hard and blame and shame are not a solution.

I also see clients who experience barriers to gender or racial identity, as well as stress associated with family dynamics.
The world may feel heavier these days, and the stress, anxiety, and hopelessness of that weight can wreak havoc on our overall health and wellness. Ultimately, most humans desire to live a life we enjoy and feel comfortable in our own skin. And now, more than ever, it is essential to strengthen our resiliency and invest in our well-being. This can be achieved by restructuring our thinking and increasing our self-efficacy to feel more confident in who we are throughout life. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy. So, a holistic approach is vital to obtaining the enjoyable life we all deserve.

Do you find yourself stuck, anxious, and unable to navigate life? Recognizing this is one of the first step towards healing.

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 work best with people standing at the edge of something—uncertain, restless, pulled by questions they can’t ignore. They may feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of how to live with greater purpose. What they seek is not simply quick relief, but also depth, clarity, and a more honest way of being. I invite you into a different kind of conversation—one that honors you and your pain, sharpens your awareness, and helps you access your own strength. This work is about becoming more alive, not just more functional—more present to the truth of who you are and what you care about.
