I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

Is your world imploding? Betrayal shatters our worlds. Whether the betrayer or the betrayed, it destroys us! Betrayers face a sense of powerlessness, loneliness, and hopelessness: realizing they can never be really known or completely love another. And, the betrayed dazedly look at a million shattered pieces of the life they thought they knew and wonder if they can trust themselves or another again. Betrayal, fear, and grief traumatize us and become our constant companions. Shock often sets in. We feel isolated & alone. But real, lasting help is available. You don’t have to stay stuck in this frightening & paralyzing space.

Many of us feel like we could be doing better, but are not sure how to start. The busy, fast-paced, and isolating lifestyle that has captured so many of us often leads to chronic stress, anxiety, disconnection from relationships and community, and a lack of meaning. On top of this, many of us also carry past traumas, large and small. Therapy is one mode of addressing these challenges. When it goes well, we have a chance to process, find healthier habits and perspectives, resolve problems, and find new ways of living which increase our well being.

In life, we learn to do what we have to in order to survive. Sometimes that means finding skills to escape trauma that don't end up serving us in the long run. I am passionate about helping individuals nourish their mind, body and spirit to overcome trauma, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, addictive behaviors, poor self-image and other mental health struggles. I believe in helping my clients feel empowered to trust their instincts and create coping skills, self love, and a life they don't want to escape from.

**Waitlist** Living authentically can be scary, rather intimidating. With support of a therapist, individuals can learn to accept, even embrace, the vulnerability that the process towards authenticity requires. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can explore personal beliefs and develop their identity. Many individuals struggle with processing life events but it doesn't have to be done alone or involve constant suffering. Life events can be difficult, even "positive" ones such as the birth of a child; postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real and it doesn't have to ruin your experience as a parent!

You’ve seen enough videos, listened to enough podcasts, and read enough articles to know what you should do to fix your problems. Yet, you always seem to find yourself back in the same patterns you wanted out of. Whether it’s porn, substance use, procrastination, stress, or anger, you can’t shake the feeling that you're stuck with them. You may have even started to wonder if change is possible. Often, we feel this way because we are so focused on the symptoms, that we cannot address the deeper pain that is causing them.

When experiences are too much, too fast, too soon, or should never have happened, it often leaves behind pain that requires attention and nurturing. Sometimes we need someone to provide that for us before we feel ready to give it to ourselves. Therapy at Portal is co-created, meaning we consider and honor your individuality, your story, the wellbeing of your mind/body, and your goals for the future. Facilitating a safe enough space is prioritized, so that you can continue to experiment with new ways of being, loving, processing, and feeling. The goal is to integrate what works for you into the story you are telling with your life.

Remember when life seemed so much easier? Your responsibilities and pressures didn’t used to feel so overwhelming, and you felt carefree! Relationships with friends and family felt untouchable. Thoughts didn’t swirl out of control, and you could focus on what needed to be done. And feeling lonely wasn’t something you felt often because you felt seen and heard. You have tried to "fix" things on your own but you are still struggling! You feel more lonely and more isolated than ever, and friendships feel unhealthy, and your family doesn’t understand you.

My passion for working with first responders started during the summer of 2020 during the riots in downtown Portland as I watched day after day of officers on the front lines and kept thinking to myself, "who's keeping an eye out for them?" I have enjoyed learning more about first responder culture and ways I can combine that with my counseling background to help provide first responders with the ability to navigate life outside of the uniform as well as they do while wearing one. This also involves helping them manage the day to day stressors of what they are seeing and doing in response to increasing call volumes.

I am NOT accepting new clients at this time. I have a passion for working with people of all ages, but there is a special place in my heart for kids and teens. I believe clients should feel comfortable in therapy. As a former foster parent and an adoptive mom of 3 boys, I know that families are complicated and messy. I would love to work with you and your family to strengthen your relationships. I work with neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, etc.), trauma, depression, anxiety, social skills issues and general wellness. I use techniques from DBT, Family Systems, and Attachment Theory and more.
