Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Tigard, OR

I specialize in helping adult men with trauma and PTSD overcome patterns that keep them feeling stuck so they can experience greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. Trauma affects everyone differently, but social stigma and expectations for men to be unemotional and strong often lead to feelings of weakness that prevent men from seeking help when needed. Men sometimes externalize symptoms with substance use, anger, relationship conflict, social isolation, and workaholism. My goal is creating a safe space for you to address these patterns and move toward a greater sense of control, connectedness, and wellbeing.

My specialties include working with individuals who are dealing with relationship issues, including: a new relationship/ marriage, the end of a relationship, the birth of a child or experiencing a deployed family member. My expertise is in: grief/loss, military service and families, as well as postpartum/ prenatal care. My focused is on mind and body wellness, specifically with consideration for diet, exercise, sleep and relational support. I have a wide variety of experiences in treating people from all walks of life, and I look forward to helping YOU work through your challenges.

Technically, I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT). Relationally, I am an empathetic listener and collaborator. I listen and then collaborate with you to discover the opportunities for progress and growth. I believe immediate change IS possible albeit in small steps. Change brings improvement. Improvement brings more change and the cycle continues. Breaking out of the old dead-end cycle and entering a cycle of growth and change is what I am all about.

(Please note that I am currently located in Illinois and can only offer video or phone sessions). It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I also work with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially and work with high functioning autistic individuals.

So much of life is learning to deal with the cards we’ve been given. I love seeing people not only deal with the cards they’ve been given, but turn them into amazing card castles. I want to help those that seek to get unstuck grow toward their best selves, have great relationships and enjoy lives filled with joy. I like to use well-researched therapeutic techniques that have been proven to help people grow. In couples therapy that means drawing from the research of John Gottman. In family and individual therapy that means an integrative approach - utilizing practical therapeutic tools that help clients achieve their goals.

We offer therapy and medication management for depression, anxiety, child/family issues, trauma, ADD, and a wide range of other concerns. We can bill most OHP plans in the metro area for therapy and medication management services.

I offer psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults and I provide therapy for adolescents and adults. I evaluate learning and neurocognitive differences, including ADHD and depression and anxiety. My goal is to provide resources and support services for students with unique academic needs, help clients develop executive functioning strategies, and offer therapeutic services for neurodivergent individuals. If you are seeking to understand your unique ways of learning and living in the world, I want to help you on this path to greater contentment and fulfillment.

We work with people from all walks of life, including transgender, non-binary, and questioning people of all ages. Our providers have a special passion for working with people in the LGBTQ+ community. We specialize in helping people navigate the challenges of understanding the intersections of their identity, relationships, and the larger world. For youth (and adults too!), we can offer specialized creative approaches that support healing and identity exploration when talking is too hard.

Parenting is a difficult job under the best of circumstances. But if you are parenting a child who goes from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, frequently asks (or begs!) you not to make him/her go to school, and the principal has you on speed dial, then your circumstances are extreme. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you "should" be able to handle it. Situations like these don't resolve themselves and seeking professional help is the best thing you can do.

I am currently accepting new clients for psychological evaluation and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE). I offer a compassionate and integrated approach. My psychological evaluations result in a comprehensive psychological report, and I aim to "tell the story" of an individual rather than simply assign a "label." All evaluations yield individualized recommendations, and I provide a client-centered, in-depth feedback session aimed at empowerment.
