Therapists in Tigard, OR

Going through a major life transition? Dealing with health issues with loved one or yourself? Feeling overwhelmed more days than not? I am here to listen and offer a still point where you can find some relief. We are all dealing with stress and living in a fast pace world. I will attune to your needs and go at the pace that you choose. It takes courage to change and create new behaviors. We will work together to find your authentic voice and journey to health and healing.

Sometimes when the world feels overwhelming, we don't connect how past abuse has led us to emotions that feel out of control. It's like when stress builds up over lots of little things and you finally snap at someone you care about in a way you didn't mean. Or feeling overly tired of trying to live in this world because every choice you make seems hard and a large amount of effort. These are things I can help with. Additionally - if you are struggling with your significant other, like feeling not heard, or having problems in the bedroom, or feeling like you are carrying more than your share; we can work on this together.

You and your partner want to feel at home with each other, securely in love. Yet you feel stuck every time something tough comes up and nothing is resolved. You may keep reaching out, hoping to draw your partner closer, only to feel fooled and alone. Or maybe you may keep the hurt inside, hoping things will clear up with time; yet you're tired of the constant tension. In either case you want help. Even if the calendar is full with the kids' activities, work and all that life asks from you, you're willing to create space for this relationship.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we'll ever do." This quote by Brene Brown describes therapy well, particularly when the focus is healing from trauma. Therapy is a place to explore and embrace your story more fully, and my highest value is establishing an authentic, safe, compassionate, and accepting space where you can process what is keeping you "stuck." Whether you desire to develop skills to improve your relationships; process recent grief, divorce, childhood trauma, or cancer diagnosis; or alter core beliefs and lifelong behavior patterns; I would be honored to work with you.

My counseling and coaching philosophy is based on the New Positive Psychology that focuses on your essential strengths and Positive Possibilities. I help you move out of feeling stuck. I help you break old patterns, behaviors, and thinking that hold you back from the life you want. Studies from the field of brain science show there may be alternatives to the medical approach for depression and anxiety. My approach is based on this scientific research. I help you develop the skills and strategies of healthy thinking and lifestyle known to help alleviate feelings of depression, anxiety, and worry.

There it is...the all too familiar thought…emotion…or behavior. It continues to search for a solution for what life has brought me. Therapy is a place to gain understanding and insight about making personal change, maybe learn some new ways to manage my emotions or relationships, find purpose in doing the things you do…or want to do.

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

Regardless of your current situation, I will create a safe space, where you can feel seen, heard, respected, and understood. It is not my place to judge you. My hope is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you navigate the ups and downs that our world holds. Knowing that you have support and do not have to face obstacles alone can help.

Whatever you're facing, I'll help: Depression, anxiety, grief, pain, sleep problems, health issues, relationship struggles, trauma, stress, or desire for personal growth. Just be yourself. I provide safety and acceptance to explore difficult situations, thoughts, and emotions. I interact. I offer information and insights. I listen intently. People say I get to the heart of the matter quickly and concisely. You'll learn skills to better manage life. Couples often need a third party to see issues and change what isn't working. If you're willing to take a new look, I'll help figure out how to make the relationship work.

I am a board-certified licensed clinician in the state of Oregon. I am fluent in both English and Arabic. With over 10 years of experience, I have worked with adults and youth from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I believe in the integration of social justice and multiculturalism in counseling as a holistic approach to inspire compassion, acceptance, trust, and forgiveness.

I believe everyone can live a fulfilling life with meaningful relationships, a sense of purpose, and hope for the future. Sometimes a fulfilling life seems out of reach because of distortions in our patterns of thinking, imbalance in our relationships, or systemic barriers beyond our control. Oftentimes it is unclear what is causing our suffering and we may feel hopeless that things will ever change. But even if our outside world doesn’t change, I believe we can obtain the tools and insight to find calm and bring peace to our inner world.

In therapy, I draw on client strengths and provide opportunities to explore client thoughts, feelings and behaviors to assist with client insight and awareness.

I believe anyone can benefit from therapy, and I commend you for taking the first step towards change. I offer a non-judgmental, insight-oriented approach to meet your specific needs with respect to your circumstances and intersecting identities. I have several years experience working with college and graduate students, as well as young adults, coping with phase of life issues, interpersonal challenges, and eating and body image concerns. I am especially interested in working with individuals who want to focus on relationship concerns, identity development, life transitions, and issues related to family-of-origin.

My hope is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and identify your unique needs so that I can best support you in moving towards your desired goals in life.

Do you feel exhausted keeping it all together? Or maybe like your brain has a hamster wheel spinning through responsibilities, forgotten tasks, and “should-dos,” without the energy to do them?
