It is possible that life has put you in an unexpected place and things are not turning out the way you thought they would? I'll work with you to achieve your maximum God-given potential of who you are and who you desire to be. Whatever your challenge, I offer a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and an interactive approach to help you find a solution. We each have different life experiences; whether they are anxieties, depression, trauma or relationship issues we can find the correct path to take on your journey to a healthier, happier life.

We will work one-on-one to explore your thoughts, feelings, habits and experiences so you can gain a better understanding into yourself and develop coping skills to achieve your goals and improve your well-being.

My goal is to help the people I work with rewrite their story in the presence of uncertainty.

Do you feel anxious too much of the time? Exhausted, disconnected, without purpose or interest? Do you forfeit your own thoughts and feelings in relationship to others? Would you like to deal with difficulties more effectively than the unconscious impulses to comply, defy or flee? Whether it's a distinct problem or a vague discontent that needs resolution, I hold the space to illuminate, guide and empower your progression. This is where talk is strong medicine. Neuroscience reveals that therapy changes brain chemistry & structure. Habitual patterns fall away to a renewed sense of energy, choice and personal authority.

Mindful Therapy Pacific NW, LLC was formed to help meet the ever-growing need for high-quality therapy that is both accessible and affordable to Oregon and Washington residents. We are a group of highly trained compassionate clinicians. Our clients are seeking support as they face and navigate life's challenges, as well as those who are simply ready to move in a new direction in their lives. We believe that mental health involves the whole person: not only the mind, but our bodies, spirit, unique personal history, occupation, environment and personal relationships.

My ideal clients are people open to working through issues in a atmosphere of trust and understanding..I work with people at times of change in their lives in order to assist them in creating positive growth.

It is my goal as a counselor to help my clients plan and use their personal strengths, resources, and supports to find new ways to live. I have experience helping people with difficulties regarding depression, anxiety, eating disorders, interpersonal communication, trauma, and addictions, as well as addressing life patterns that have impeded them from their goals and hurt their relationships.

I work with adults and young adults facing difficult passages in their lives. I've learned that there is always opportunity in crisis, and development when things feel stuck. It means a lot to me to help people feel understood and to find meaning in their lives. I work with High functioning adults, young adults and couples.

Are you hungry for a change, but not sure how to achieve it? Perhaps you are feeling lost, or stuck. Maybe you are looking for the tools to process a traumatic event, or tools to move past a negative thought pattern. Or maybe you are new at putting your needs first, and wanting to learn how to establish boundaries with others. We all have points in our lives when we could use someone in our corner to help us navigate through the muddy waters.

Sometimes you may have a specific problem for which you are seeking help - like low mood, worry, sleep problems, or trouble at home or work - and sometimes you just want to explore yourself or develop ways to live a fuller, happier life. As your therapist, my goal is to help you clearly identify and explore the issue, and provide the assistance, guidance and coping skills to address an array of mental, emotional and general life issues, and restore hope. It is truly a pleasure to help you explore what's important to you and appreciate yourself in the world.

I provide a nonjudgemental space for clients to address anything you choose to bring to therapy. I work primarily with Narrative Therapy, which is a world view as much as it is a therapeutic approach. The Narrative approach puts your story at the center of the conversation. People in my practice are also seen through a multi-storied lens rather than a narrow singular story. I will have a friendly and laid back approach in our sessions. At the same time, I will also offer you direct feedback and honest observations. Mindfulness work, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Relational work are also important to me.

My job and ultimate goal is to provide clients with their own skill set and help them find what works best for them, so that they don't need me to continue navigating their own lives. I hold each and every one of my clients with the highest respect and I take a personal interest in seeing them through transformation and growth. I experience great satisfaction in witnessing them flourish and expand in their lives. To be welcomed along as a teammate in someone else's personal journey and path is an exceptional honor that I do not take lightly.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and person-centered counseling. I don’t believe that therapy is a “one size fits all,” and I utilize a variety of methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Attachment Theory to provide an approach that will fit your individual needs.

As a practical, interactive, solution-focused psychologist, my treatment approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance strategies to identify problem areas and develop opportunities for growth and understanding. I help clients explore the interactions among thoughts, feelings, and behavior in order to identify barriers to achieving life goals.

If you need support with the many challenges life can bring, I would love to help you find more ease, joy, and acceptance. As an adult child of a person with Substance Use Disorder, I know how painful it can be to love someone struggling with addiction. I have experience working in residential SUD treatment as well as working with their loved ones. I have a passion for recovery and I seek to connect with others who have been impacted by addiction. Beyond the scope of addiction, my clinical interests include family systems, relational issues, and trauma, among others. I work with adult individuals, couples, and families.

Life can hurt. Set-backs, emotional pain, social awkwardness, fear of anger, shame or rejection can block that which we desire most-loving nurturing relationships, affirmation from others, and self-valuing. I have been helping individuals and couples better achieve those desires for 40+ years. I bring a long history of a variety of skills to a mutually created process.

I work with adult individuals and relationships. Many of my clients are focused on healing from trauma, disrupting harmful patterns like people pleasing and codependency, and creating healthy relationships. I am committed to equity and inclusion, both personally and professionally and my goal is always that my clients feel seen and supported in all aspects of their identity. I am LGBTQIA+, and gender affirming, sex/kink positive and welcome all relationship configurations including CNM/Polyamory. I recognize and value all types of diversity including ethnicity, race, size, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, and abilities.

Hello! I specialize in couples/sex, addictions, and trauma/anxiety. I take Cigna, Aetna and Optum insurance. I have been helping adults and couples reach their goals for 19 years. I'm here for those that want to free themselves from old patterns, be they traumatic events, anxiety attacks, destructive patterns, infidelity, issues with sex, or unhelpful styles of communication. I'm known for being an active participant, open-minded and direct. I also love using my great sense of humor, when appropriate. I'm casual. Cussing in sessions welcome!
