Therapists in Portland, OR

I am referring out to clinicians on my team at this time. Do you have an interest in targeting worry/anxiety, depression, challenges with coping and communication, stress, and relationship issues? The desire to heal from distressing experiences or trauma that have had an impact on your relationships, employment, health, and wellness? We will work together utilizing a variety of techniques including; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR to reprocess your past so you can move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and harmony. Currently accepting new clients for solution focused treatment and EMDR therapy.

Life can be messy. Regardless of our histories, we often struggle with the process of just being. With challenges at every stage of life & with every relationship, even with ourselves, we can struggle with feeling as though we belong, that we matter, & that we have a true connection with the world around us. That oftentimes involves emotions, memories, thoughts, beliefs, & behaviors. Finding a way in the midst of "messiness" can seem overwhelming, especially when you feel alone or misunderstood. Sometimes, you just need someone to help you figure out the messiness & create some clarity and find purpose in life.

My clients come to me for a variety of reasons and with a variety of questions like, “How did I get here?” “Why am I in this relationship?” “Why do I keep doing this?” or “Why can’t I move forward?” Often, they are dealing with multiple roles and high expectations of themselves. The issues facing each person are unique, but my clients come with earnest interest in making changes and they deserve my earnest investment in helping them with those changes. Our work is to understand as much as we can about you so that we can begin to address your questions, relieve some of the suffering, and help you live the life you want for yourself.

I am currently not accepting new clients, but will be in April. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has practiced in Oregon, Wyoming, Utah and as an intern in Florida. My background is working with people struggling with substance abuse, trauma survivors, the LGBTQ community, couples and all forms of families, people with traumatic brain injuries, people with autism, grief and loss, crisis pregnancies, adoption issues, children in foster care and people living with HIV and AIDS. I am proud to have worked in a variety of settings and with people who need support, clarity, and space to heal.
