I mostly support individuals dealing with acute or chronic depressive and/or anxious thinking, feeling, and behaving. Through a combination of mindful education via psychological research, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I help clients break unwanted patterns that prevent the sustainable peace and happiness they desire.
If you’re looking for therapy of depth, insight, and durability; if you’re seeking a highly-trained therapist with over 37 years of experience who listens carefully, deeply, and thoughtfully; if you’ve been disappointed by ‘quick fix’ approaches that promise much and deliver little; if you want an individualized approach designed specifically with your needs in mind, you are in the right place.
There are so many reasons why people seek therapy. It could be a life transition, anxiety, depression, divorce, blended families or tough teenagers. Sometimes in life people lose a sense of who they truly are and seek to find what more accurately reflects them. Overall, most people are looking for a space to process and make meaning of life experiences, behaviors and reactivity. I have been fortunate to work with people of these life experiences.
Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in? Maybe you've spent your life pursuing interests and passions that others didn't understand or appreciate. As a specialist, I work with individuals who embrace their uniqueness, whether they're gamers, bookworms, metaphysical enthusiasts, geeks, artists, or creatives. Moreover, I provide support for those in the LGBT, poly, and kink communities. Together, we'll create an affirming space to explore your identity and find acceptance.

Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.
You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.
Do you worry constantly, feel on edge all of the time or have a persistent fear of failure or judgement? Feel like you’re not good enough, not living the life you want to live, or that you’ve lost touch with the things that bring you contentment with little hope that you can live life in a fulfilling way? Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? If so, I may be able to help.
I enjoy facilitating reconnection from a place of playfulness and open curiosity. The types of clients I typically work with are those struggling with identity, family wounds, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, LGBTQA+ issues, relational struggles, and those who do not feel they fit into a prescribed box.
I work with a diverse range of individuals who grapple with feeling stuck, unmotivated, and anxious amidst life's demands. Art therapy offers a gateway to explore these struggles, unburdening through creative expression. My clients need a safe non-judgmental space, met with compassion and active listening, as they aspire to overcome challenges, discover their potential, thrive, and form authentic connections.

Are you feeling internally conflicted and that is making you stuck and anxious? Maybe that internal conflict is manifesting in conflicts with others? Are you ready to be kinder to yourself? Are you ready to be curious about yourself? Are you ready to get along with yourself and others better? Do you want more freedom, choice, autonomy, even agency in their life, but are struggling with how to get it? Yes, is this you, is this what you want? Yes, then you have come to the right place.
My clients often come in feeling anxious, burned out, wanting to explore childhood events that affected them, or wanting to learn how to relate to others and to themselves in more positive ways. I provide mindful, collaborative, and playful therapy to adults, parents of children of all ages, and adolescent girls (8+). I enjoy working with adults who care for others (parents, caregivers, and people in caring professions), and have a background as a school counselor (I love teens!).
Counseling is for everyone. Whether processing the past, finding contentment in the present, or looking at goals towards the future - I am so proud of you. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, exploring what it is to be in the quarter life stage and how to become your own person. From just entering high school to graduating from your grad degree program, or navigating independence - there is so much to process in our emerging adulthood. You are worth listening to.
Has life thrown you for a bit of loop recently? Maybe that recent break up has left you reeling. Or this recent move has been hard. Grief can come in many forms, a big move, birth of a baby, an end of a friendship, or death of a loved one. Loss is some of life’s toughest stuff. Feeling alone in this world can be pretty scary. Lets work towards a way for you to find yourself again. I have lots of coping skills in my pocket to share with you.
About 1/4 my clients are couples. My individual clients represent a broad spectrum of society, from those who are struggling to pay their bills to those who are economically secure. My clients represent all genders and flavors of sexual orientations. The unifying characteristic that all my clients share is that they are looking for safety and are ready to work on healing the wounds that we all carry, to greater or lesser extents.
