Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. You may feel stuck in patterns you’re ready to break free from but unsure how to start. Using the collaborative LifeMaps treatment plan, we will explore how your past has shaped your present and work to build self-awareness, uncover strengths, and foster change. My experience as a gay man raised in the South gives me a unique perspective that informs my understanding of cultural and family dynamics.

Those who are navigating faith transitions, religious trauma, purity culture, and grief related to faith deconstruction are especially drawn to my work. I am also passionate about working with individuals who have experienced parentification, are recovering perfectionists, or folks who are neurodivergent and navigating spaces and systems that aren't designed for them.

I work with adults of all ages who are wanting to create sustainable change on their path to achieving authenticity and wholeness. I believe each individual possess their own unique strengths and knowledge that they can access to overcome obstacles and embrace life transitions.

“I know I was born, and I know that I’ll die / The in-between is mine.” ~ Pearl Jam. How’s your in-between treating you? Are you living by your rules or someone else’s? Relationships not as great as they could be? Are family or work dynamics causing increased stress? Are you overwhelmed or overthinking about anything and everything? We are the experts of our own lives. But sometimes, we need an outside perspective to help us work through the complexities to shape our ideal in-between.

I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune in with ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.

I am passionate about helping clients through difficult times. I understand the immense impact that trauma, grief and life transitions can have, and I am dedicated to helping you rediscover your inner strength, healing, and the possibility of moving forward in meaningful ways. I believe that while these experiences can feel like endings, they also hold space for new beginnings and a deeper understanding of who you are.

Seeking out therapy is both a scary and courageous act. I am here to be a core support for you or your relationship through your time in therapy. I work with teens, adult individuals and relationships. Feeling disconnected from yourself or from those around you can be lonely and confusing. I am here to help explore those difficult experiences you may be facing, and identify what can help you and your relationship.

Grief is a natural part of any major life change, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or shifts in your sense of self. Society often expects us to “move on” quickly, but grief doesn’t follow a set timeline. You may find yourself grieving not just a person, but the life you had, or the person you used to be. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for your grief to be fully felt—where you don’t have to pretend everything’s fine.

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.
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.

Life is so much more colorful when you paint from your own palette. My clients seek meaning, understanding, fulfillment, and embodiment through the ways they shape, and are shaped by, their environment: LGBTQIA+, kink, consensual nonmonogamy, sex work, neurodivergence, and meaning/spirituality all welcome. I work best with relationships and individuals who are motivated to untangle their own lives, and want a side-kick to co-navigate the tricky path.
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!).
