When addressing career and work issues, I refer to my experience as an MBA who once worked in the corporate world.
As a licensed psychologist and Jungian analyst, I gently proceed at your pace as we explore what is happening in your life--experiences and your feelings about them-- in search of meaning and the potential for the transformation of depression, anxiety, and relationships. Finding meaning opens an individual to self-acceptance, transformation, authenticity, and renewed energy for life and relationship.

Career issues.
As a seasoned psychodynamic therapist, I work to facilitate healing and change within a supportive environment. I am insight oriented, relational and interactive in my approach. By tending to the self, within the context of past and present relationships, my clients are able to explore and shift their sense of identity, esteem and life goals. Clearing stress, increasing happiness and life satisfaction are the focus.

I am looking forward to working with adults, couples, families, adolescents and/or children (in no particular order) that are interested in art therapy and counseling. I have had 5 years experience in a residential setting with adolescents who struggle with both addictions and mental health concerns. And for another 7 years I worked with children and families in need of significant services at a non-profit organization downtown. I am now primarily working with Clients (like you!) at my private practice in SE Portland and am truly enjoying the experience.

I specialize in working with couples from all walks of life, as well as families in which one member is exploring their gender identity or actively transitioning. I understand that gender exploration and transition can create unique challenges within families; it can bring out family dynamics that are painful and difficult to navigate without help. I am here to support you with that. Regarding couples, it's not unusual to experience challenges in your relationship as you face the challenges of daily living. I am here to help you improve communication, increase understanding, and find your way back to each other.

You're here because you've been thinking about therapy for a while. It takes time to recognize that we are unhappy with the course of our lives and relationships and that meaningful change is even possible. There are reasons why you are feeling the way you are, and we can uncover those reasons and create new paths going forward. In our work together I'll create a safe place for us to explore these feelings and assist you in sifting out those thoughts about self that work for you from those that don't.

What secret(s) do you, you and your partner or family, keep that you are sure, if people knew, would make you less than okay in their eyes? What is the stuck place that keeps you from moving forward in your life and relationships? If you have not yet given up and have reached the point of seeking help, you are already in the process of change. If you are ready to take the next steps, I would love to help you build toward a more expansive relationship to yourself and others in your life.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and families. A basic guiding principle in my work is that, when we are able to really see and accept where we are, and who we are, we begin to heal and grow. I see therapy as a sacred space, a place of safety in which we can allow ourselves to go deeper into our experience of ourselves, the other, and of our life as a whole. There is a trust I have found in this process, that if we attend to what comes up in this place, it will lead us through.

I am currently on an extended leave, but intend to have availability in September 2023. We are all searching for ways to lead fulfilling lives, but sometimes we struggle to find the things that will help sustain us or the obstacles of life can begin to feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I help to identify the things that nourish each individual and act as a partner in learning strategies for moving through the difficult times. I strive to maintain empathy, compassion, and openness with each of the clients I work with and value a collaborative relationship that allows you to steer treatment in the direction most useful to you.

I am passionate about eating disorder recovery. I came into this work after recovering from my own eating disorder almost 20 years ago. Once I found myself on the other side I realized I wanted to help others find their own path to freedom. I know first hand how difficult this process can be.
