Are you needing a space to process emotions and experiences? Are you feeling nervous, anxious or struggling to cope with your worries? Have you experienced trauma in your life and noticing it affecting your life today? Are you wanting to improve your relationship with food and/or your body? Maybe you are wanting to discover more about yourself and how you navigate the world. In sessions, you can learn techniques or coping skills and dedicate time to your emotional wellbeing.

Are you looking to learn skills that can help you with stress, anxiety, and self-doubt? You are conscientious and smart, yet feel overwhelmed by high demands or new changes. You have also experienced a difficult childhood, characterized by a significant traumatic event, or many incidents of invalidation, such as constant criticism by your parents. As someone who grew up in an emotionally-challenged family and has worked in highly competitive environments, I have likely been in your shoes. I have also worked as a psychologist at the on-site Wellness Center of Facebook, providing counseling to its employees.

Are you tired of not feeling good enough? Are you wanting to understand why you’re your own biggest critic? Are you seeking therapy in hopes to create a life of fulfillment, authenticity and balance? Maybe you’ve found yourself time again wondering why you feel stuck. Whether it’s your job, relationships or lifestyle, you continuously feel like something is amiss. You may wonder why fear or stress play such a heavy role in your life. Thinking about the past, or even the future, keeps you from being present in the moment. You wonder if the stories you tell yourself are holding you back from greater potential.

I believe goals are only valuable if you believe and are invested in them, and I will work with you to figure out what those are. While it may feel overwhelming or impossible, all I ask for is a willingness to be open to the possibility of change. If you are here, I believe you are. I am here to encourage, empower, and support you as we work together to identify your goals and take the next steps towards healing.

If you are seeking a kind, compassionate presence to walk alongside you on your healing journey, you've come to the right place. I believe that each person who arrives to therapy comes in with a story that matters and deserves to be heard. I see my role as therapist as someone to help you to recognize your ability to heal and help to shine light on the path that leads to your highest good. I am EMDR trained and enjoy using this modality to help others overcome trauma related issues.

Do you need to be heard in a non-judgmental manner? Have you been hurt or disrespected? Are you struggling in a relationship or moving through grief or loss? Are you anxious, depressed, or uncertain? Do you care for a child who has experienced "big hurts," overwhelming emotions, or been challenged to cope? We are all doing the best we can. It takes courage to seek help. I hope to explore your story, concerns, and life goals. I see adults and children ages 3-12 and their caregivers. In addition I have lived experience with autoimmune conditions and can offer an empathetic perspective to those who experience such challenges.

Welcome! Over the last 12 years, I've worked with adolescents and adults who experience trauma, grief, neurodivergence, anxiety, and mood-related symptoms. You are the expert in what works (and doesn't) in you life. I have knowledge and skills to share. Together, we can work towards creating your life worth living.

I offer talk therapy services to adults (25+) from all cultures, genders, religions, sexual, and economic backgrounds. I am an independent practitioner at the Firefly Institute in Hillsboro, Oregon. Clients experiencing emotional distress due to life transitions, past trauma, codependency and those in helping positions (medical, teaching, mental health, etc) with compassion fatigue/vicarious trauma are who I most often work with.

It is a privilege to come alongside clients in their most challenging time to help them to heal, resolve conflict and recover from the hard that life can bring. I believe clients are the experts of their experience and I am a resource to help the attain their goals. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and trusting environment that supports their discovery of internal strengths, hope, and resiliency.

My approach to therapy is best described as integrative and collaborative with an emphasis in client-centered therapy. I acknowledge that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of treatment and work to foster a safe environment in which clients feel comfortable and safe. I use a mix of evidenced based practices including, but not limited to, cognitive-behavioral, collaborative problem solving, ACT and interpersonal therapy. Client feedback is always incorporated in order to individualize treatment.

Welcome to a safe space to be human! I'm enthusiastic, laid-back and very interactive in therapy with worksheets, strategies, skills to build on to your personalized tool box. I respect every individual has innate navigation system to consciously discern and regulate challenges and embrace talents. I will be a passenger in your healing journey while you drive at your pace. My approach is holistic, strengths-based, and compassionate-focused. I understand mental health can be compromised from unresolved childhood issues, exposure to traumatic experiences, burn out, stress, complex systems issues and daily demands in multiple roles.

Feeling trapped or searching for meaning in life? Therapy can offer a safe space to explore your inner world and provide tools to diffuse negative thoughts, develop self-acceptance, and reach your full potential. I am committed to helping individuals achieve a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. My approach is tailored to each person's unique needs, incorporating different techniques and strategies to help them heal and grow through life’s seasons of change. I believe that many of our issues stem from negative events/experiences that we adapt to and cope with the best we can.

I work with couples, individuals, and teens navigating challenges within their relationships, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and daily life stressors.

Welcome! I am a retired Navy Chaplain with 10 years of enlisted service and 8 years as a chaplain. I retired in 2008 and then worked 7 years as a mental health crisis worker, housed homeless Veterans for four years, and now I am doing telehealth therapy since 2020 just before the pandemic. I have a wide variety of experiences with many different types of people in many different situations.

Whether you’re heading off to college, shifting careers, or going through a breakup, life changes are never easy. These changes in routine can lead to deep anxieties and fears. You don’t have to go through these times alone. My focus will be on gently unravelling these feelings, understanding their impact, and finding you a path forward.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with adults who suffer from the symptoms of traumatic stress or post traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms of trauma often include, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, nightmares and flashbacks, lack of concentration, ADD, binge eating and negative body image. All of these symptoms may be a result of unprocessed trauma that has become stuck in the mind and the body. There is a tremendous amount of promise in mental health healing available through trauma treatment.

Are you feeling mentally and emotionally overwhelmed? Are you experiencing relationship stressors or finding it difficult to connect with others? Do you find yourself curious about your feelings and experiences? I aim to provide a safe and collaborative space for you to feel heard while tuning into emotions, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and exploring the root of your concerns while practicing skills that promote relief and connection. I provide individual counseling for adults and adolescents experiencing a range of concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and anger and/or aggression.

Therapy is a space meant to be collaborative. Throughout your commitment to the therapeutic process, I'll invite you to take on the role of “co-expert." My focus is meeting you however, you are showing up and making sure you feel empowered and informed with your experiences. By living meaningfully in the present you can learn to break free from past experiences, trauma, and concerns for the future. Living with intention encourages you to act with purpose and passion for your benefit and the benefit of society.
