Stress Therapists in Portland, OR

My groups have openings (below). Would you like to free yourself from patterns that lead to stress , conflict, and/or withdrawal from life? Are you feeling reactive or shut down in dealing with anger, fear, and/or sadness? Are you dissatisfied with life and do not know why? Having the courage to admit that things are not going well is the first step to changing them. My mindfulness-based approach supports you in being less identified with habitual ways of thinking and feeling that can keep you stuck in patterns that no longer work. I have helped many clients learn to be less reactive and more compassionate with themselves and others

I’ve made my work helping individuals navigate how to connect and reclaim parts of themselves they may have thought were lost to anxiety, stress , low motivation, depression, chronic pain, or anger and resentment. We are all human and none of us choose hardship, and yet we still experience it. Distress and pain are part of the human experience. It’s what we do with these experiences that is important. I work with my clients to help them find their way through life’s obstacles and make change that is consistent with their values – what really matters to them.

I am not accepting new clients and do not keep a waitlist. I specialize in working with adults and teens as they navigate life transitions and stressors. My approach is warm, client centered, strengths based, and relational, with the intent to walk alongside a person during transition and change processes. My work facilitates a deepening understanding of self to support people in accepting who they are and knowing that they matter.

Are you experiencing challenges with depression, stress , anxiety, racial discrimination/racial trauma, relationship issues, parenting concerns, or family conflict? Do you find it difficult to engage fully with others because of these concerns? Are they impacting your daily life and overall well-being? Are you seeking support and empowerment to create a change? Are you looking for cultural specific services? Do you need help identifying/ prioritizing what you’re experiencing within this very moment? If you answered YES! to any of the above questions then you’ve come to the right place!

I am a naturopathic doctor and biofeedback provider that specializes in mind-body medicine. I have a passion for working in an integrative mental health care setting with people that are dealing with chronic stress , burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and more. My visits have a counseling focused approach that helps to address the underlying cause of your symptoms to help you obtain greater wellness and vitality in your life. I bring a non-judgmental, trauma-aware lens to my work. My approach is highly relational, focusing on developing understanding through connection and compassion.

As a therapist, I will be fully present, listening and responding to you in a curious, compassionate, and nonjudgmental manner. I understand the current neuroscience research on the impact of attachment trauma, childhood trauma, and life stressors on the body and mind. I will help you develop self-awareness so you can bring unconscious beliefs and patterns into consciousness. This will help you develop insights into all parts of yourself, as well as help you develop somatic and mindfulness tools to live in the present moment more fully. I will help you heal what no longer serves you so you can have more agency and authenticity.
