Therapists in Portland, OR
I’m a Portland, OR based therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support healing from trauma, anxiety, and relational wounds. I also have a deep commitment to working with mothers and the unique challenges they face.
In our work together, I offer a sacred and supportive space where you can approach life experiences with compassionate curiosity. Therapy is a place to deepen one’s connection and relationship with the self, and to gain embodied insight about one’s personal process and patterning. It is also a place to explore one’s relationships to others to build more fulfilling connections and intimacy.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. If you're looking for a psychologist to help you work towards being the best version of yourself, I may be a great fit for you. My approach is guided by a recognition of parallel truths: there are always underlying reasons for the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we struggle with, and this does not make our struggles inevitable or unworkable. In our work together, I will seek to understand and validate the challenges you are confronted with, while helping you take control of your life back from those very challenges.

Whether you would like to improve your relationships with partners, friends, or family, explore feelings of grief in your own way without pressure to "get back to normal already," or find that sense of self and purpose that you might be missing, I provide a safe and confidential environment to process thoughts and feelings and gain insight, feedback and understanding.

My approach is relational and unique to each client. I work with elders, adults, teens, pre-teens, couples, families, and with the developmental tasks of each life stage. I often assist clients wanting greater self confidence, vitality, authenticity, satisfaction and meaning in daily life. I create a safe environment in which more fulfilling approaches to relationship can be experienced. I explore with clients ways to move beyond negative impacts of past loss or trauma, and places that feel "stuck." I bring methods to address each client's goals, and to help decrease limitations associated with anxious or depressive symptoms.

I am a licensed psychologist based in Portland, Oregon with a primary focus in evaluation and assessment. I also conduct individual psychotherapy for adults, particularly those adjusting to medical diagnoses. I periodically run groups for caregivers about managing the cognitive and emotional effects of strokes and brain injuries, drawing on current research and my history working in a rehabilitation unit.

Growing up today is tough! In addition to balancing homework, extracurriculars, friends, and family, kids also have to deal with increasing mental health stress. Our society feels less and less like a village, leading to more strain on caregivers as they try to parent in today’s climate. As your therapist, I staunchly advocate for children and families using a multi-systems approach by coordinating care with school counselors, doctors, etc to support clients holistically. Our sessions are a safe space for clients to vent, process, and work through life's obstacles.

My practice is grounded in respect, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand each person’s story. I work to create a space that feels steady and safe, where you can begin to explore your experiences and the ways they’ve shaped you and your relationships. Together, we’ll build a deeper understanding of you, what you need, what you long for, and how to care for yourself more gently. Over time, many people find they’re able to see themselves with more warmth and understanding, which often helps them connect more openly and meaningfully with others while also cultivating a greater sense of calm and self-acceptance.

Are you tired of being tired? Have you ever wonder if there is more to life than just survival? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, stress or relationship problems and not sure how therapy can help? You are not alone. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 12 years and have assisted many clients from diverse backgrounds with some, at the root, very fundamental issues of existence including meaning, isolation and choice. Psychotherapy is not only meaningful work for me, but a craft that necessitates continuous personal and professional growth.

What we are looking for in life is often right in front of us yet, we often lack the ability to see it. In contemporary society, many of us are head strong putting the mind and thoughts above the body and feelings. In this manner, we may lose ourselves in a world of mental illusion. When we are able to access our inner nature, comprised in part of our instincts, aptitudes, and intuition, we are more equipped to be self-guided in life and able to achieve balance and wholeness for ourselves.

I work with people dealing with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, specific phobias, and other manifestations of trauma that leave us burnt out and confused about what we even want.

Everyone has a different path in therapy. No matter what issues you are struggling with, it is possible to find peace and achieve a more meaningful life. Some of the things I enjoy working with include: childhood trauma, attachment issues, OCD, PTSD, men's issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, divorce, parenting, grief and loss, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

You are successful by every external measure - and exhausted by an internal one no one else can see.
The decisions you carry don't come with simple answers. They involve your business, your relationships, your sense of who you are and who you're becoming. You've tried thinking your way through. You've tried pushing harder. The weight hasn't lifted.
I work with founders, executives, and high-responsibility professionals in California and Oregon who need more than traditional talk therapy. My clients are people who think deeply, carry heavily, and sense that the clarity they need requires going somewhere some therapy doesn't go.

Waitlist for new clients
I work with all sorts of people, though the niche I've found myself is working with those who have experienced trauma and who are neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+. One of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. This is why I offer a free fifteen minute consultations so you can get an idea of whether I would be a good fit for you. We can still work together, even if you might not be part of the niche I described above. Also, important note: I only work with individuals, not couples or families.
