I offer Oregon statewide telehealth for adults seeking support with anxiety, overwhelm, relationship strain, major transitions, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their path. Many of the people I work with are longing for clarity, steadiness, and a space where their inner world can be understood and honored. My approach is warm, relational, and attentive to the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. I also provide guidance for those exploring or reflecting on psychedelic experiences as part of their broader growth.

I want to get to know the real you. I help people understand and heal emotions and relationships, transforming your life. I believe in finding a balance of healing the past and living in the present. It can make a huge difference to talk with someone outside of your circle-someone who cares about you and brings a fresh perspective.

As a practitioner, my core focus is to create a space that is built on transparency, trust and integrity. I believe that growth comes from the recognition of establishing your personal values, understanding your strengths, and practicing self-reflection in a way that is grounded in kindness and accountability. After 15 years of working as a chef and hospitality manager, I recognized that the greatest rewards of my role came from supporting the personal development of my staff. This realization inspired me to obtain my Masters in Social Work at Portland State University in order to pursue a career as a mental health therapist.

I enjoy working with individual adult clients who want to participate more fully in their lives and who are looking for a supportive, empathetic therapist to address their concerns. Many of my clients are experiencing infertility, reproductive loss, or are utilizing assisted reproductive technology to conceive. Clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and relatable with a willingness to incorporate humor as part of the healing process. While I am kind and supportive, I also challenge stuck-points to create movement and directly address client distress and mental health symptoms.

Sometimes, we want to make changes but struggle with unknown parts of ourselves that seem to stop us. Habits, life long patterns and unconscious beliefs can hold us back from living the life that we long for. It takes time and courage to examine our belief system and reach out for what we really want. As a therapist, I follow the process of each individual. Clients are viewed on a spectrum of health, rather than through a lens of pathology. This approach creates a very curious and creative focus that encourages growth at the client’s own pace.

Are you struggling to balance the changing expectations placed on yourself? Finding that your behavior doesn’t match your intentions? Do demands for emotional intimacy leave you feeling confused and misunderstood? Has work become a place of negativity and resentment? We’re good at pretending that there’s nothing wrong until we just can’t take it anymore. What if you could step into being more confident and successful at work and in relationships?

You may be carrying more than most people realize – the toll of anxiety, the fog of depression, lingering impacts of trauma, or the stress of feeling the need to hold everything together.

You want to feel more connected to yourself, but you’re not sure where to start. In our work together, you’ll be met with presence, not pressure. This is your space to show up as you are, feel understood, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve care and attention, not just survival.

My name is Kade (They/Them) and I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor. I recognize that our shared and different challenges don’t exist in a vacuum but are shaped by similar oppressive systems. As a therapist, I aim to provide trauma-informed care that acknowledges the impact of these systems, often through discussing generational family trauma, racism, ablism, religious oppression, and navigating LGBTQIA+ identities. Most goals focus on navigating trauma, healing relational attachment, accessing community, finding safety in your emotions, and feeling secure within your identity.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I provide individualized assessments for children, teens, and adults facing a wide range of neurocognitive, academic, social, and emotional challenges.
