Therapists in Portland, OR
Therapy can offer hope in the midst of depression, anxiety, trauma, stressful challenges in work, relationships, health, or other arenas of life. It can also help us respond thoughtfully and creatively rather than anxiously or destructively. I am a firm believer in learning to be open towards yourself, your relationships, and life transitions. This is a more powerful motivator than mentally beating yourself up. We'll work together to identify strengths you can use towards making important life changes, and to build coping skills to deal with difficult emotions, trust, relationship issues, and negative thoughts you might have about yourself.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed, a little lost and unsure of what's next. So many of us feel stuck while longing for life to change for the better. That's actually an exciting place to be; clients come to me to get help getting unstuck, reduce stress and overwhelm, and to clarify their vision for the future.

We all have the tendency to internalize painful life events. This can lead us to have feelings of anxiety, guilt, frustration, or shame. These painful feelings often cloud our view of our life, our relationships, and our future-greatly limiting our natural resilience and ability to handle life's stresses.

Therapy is one place to connect with what is most real and urgent in your life. Engaging in your own healing in this collaborative space can offer you greater connection to your own knowing. Through working together relationally, I support your development toward more integrated ways of seeing yourself. I work within the understanding that there is no separation between the mind-body and believe that all emotions can become allies once we learn to understand their contribution and regulate their energy.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 30 years and I very much enjoy my work. My goal is to help people with healing, and in so doing help them to live a more joyful and meaningful life. I have years of experience helping clients address and recover from many different issues. I work with emotional wounds that are often at the core of issues that clients bring to me, and with healing trauma including religious trauma. I have found that when these wounds can be addressed in a safe environment, healing can take place. I work with adults of all life stages, with adolescents, children, with individuals, families and groups.

As a therapist, I provide an inclusive, non-judgmental space in which you can process the feelings, while feeling heard and understood. As a client, you can expect to join efforts to explore, laugh, and find your voice again. I help my clients to find freedom and strength as you express thoughts and emotions in a safe environment, thereby deepening your relationship with your true self and with others. I believe the therapy relationship should be one of mutual respect and collaboration.

I believe anyone can change, can find their own personal happiness in life. Every one has the capacity to create the life they want for themselves and the path of healing is open to anyone ready to make the first step. However, many of us need a helping hand to walk that path. I help by building upon people's unique strengths to meet their specific goals and this is the foundation of my practice. Mindfulness, acceptance, self compassion and brain science are used to help people understand their own thoughts, actions and behaviors in order to identify effective interventions. By building resilience and understanding, we heal.

I am glad you are here and I genuinely would like to help you find the right support. I believe we all already have exactly what we need. I find it quite rewarding to team up with clients and find ways to harness their strengths. I am relationship based and balance compassion with frank communication. Let's look together and make a plan for how to realize your best self. I work with adults who are struggling with adjustment, managing emotions, or who are concerned for children in their care. I particularly enjoy working with parents/caregivers in non-traditional families including queer, trans and polyamourous.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing a safe, supportive place for clients.I draw from a perspective that emphasizes both the interpersonal/relational nature of therapy as well as the important role that culture plays in how we define ourselves and relate to one another. I find that this approach helps to facilitate a strong working alliance between myself and my clients and in doing so sets the ground for clients to begin to challenge existing patterns in their lives and experiment with making healthy changes in the way they relate to themselves and others.

I know that you’d like to be fully yourself, in deep connection with others and aligned with your highest sense of purpose and wellbeing. This can be challenging when traumas, interpersonal/societal harms and expectations keep you frozen, isolated, and unseen, without compassionate spaces to melt, connect and be witnessed. I focus on facilitating insight into self, relationships, early-life attachments, formative experiences, traumatic events. I draw from a variety of psychotherapy practices, including EMDR, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, DBT, CPT, and an integrative focus on relationship skills, emotions and emotional processing.

Experiencing trauma/painful events at any age may cause us to feel overwhelmed, unsure, self-critical, anxious, or hopeless. These feelings can then create difficulties in managing our behaviors, our thoughts, and our relationships. I know many of us have tried for years to figure things out on our own and that seeking counseling takes a great deal of courage. I respect and honor the strengths that clients bring into my office. Together, we can work to move beyond learned responses and toward healing; where you can work to develop self-regulation skills, improve mood, decrease anxiety, and build self-esteem.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel trapped between their outward success and inner struggles. Maybe perfectionism, self-doubt, or unresolved trauma keeps you stuck in cycles of overworking, numbing, or pushing people away. You might feel isolated, afraid of failure, or exhausted from holding everything together while silently battling shame, anxiety, or addiction. Therapy feels like a risk but you also deeply desire relief and a space to reconnect with yourself.

Clients that have been drawn to work with me include: those in the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent clients (autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, and highly sensitive people), those in the healthcare system, and older adults. I tend to work best with those who value a relational approach to therapy as my approach tends to be sensitive, perceptive, intimate, co-regulating, and attachment-informed. Overall, my ideal client is anyone who is dedicated to self-work and interested in the types of experiential therapy that I offer.
