Male Therapists in Beaverton, OR

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

All people seek happiness and wish to avoid suffering and that all people have the right to pursue joy and freedom from pain. I believe that all people are capable of bringing constructive change into their lives, whatever their present circumstances. I view my job as providing a welcoming, supportive, safe, socially just, and competent space in which positive change can occur.

If you’re looking for a supportive and easy-to-talk-to therapist, to help you achieve your goals, we may be a good fit. I help men overcome anger issues and relationship conflicts that may be lowering their quality of life. I help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD. I also help people going through life transitions. I practice CBT, ACT, and DBT. I work with business owners, salespeople, creatives, healthcare workers, athletes, educators, writers, therapists, and more. Together, we will find solutions to your struggles so you live your rich and meaningful life.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

At this time I am only providing individual psychotherapy and only via telehealth (online). I typically see people who experience depression, anxiety, anger, stress, persistent relationship difficulties, personality problems or self-concept issues. I have a particular interest in working with men regarding the issues listed above.

I currently have a 1-3 month waitlist. For new client inquiries, please fill out the new inquiry form at my clinic's website at hmhpdx.com. I practice depth psychology, meaning that one’s whole life story is important when considering present difficulties, struggling relationships, or emotional discord. In knowing how our lives have shaped us, we can bring healing to complicated relational patterns or painful past experiences, and find greater happiness in the here and now.

Therapy is a wonder to me. It’s a powerful space where we can nurture a safe environment to explore the painful aspects of the human experience. At times, we can undergo a profound feeling of being stuck or lost without knowing how to find relief. I love coming alongside people on that journey, bringing a curious, non-judgmental stance to your healing process. I'd want to give more gentle attention to both your light and shadow in hopes to reduce inner conflict and promote a deeper and more kind self-inquiry. Through compassion, warmth, and much-needed humor, my hope is to bring ease as you travel uneasy waters.

I look for clients that are serious about change, tired of the dead ends and ready to step into a new life path as their best selves. My practice offers tools for trauma, depression, anxiety, and also works to progress life's bigger picture, and aid the search for direction and purpose that we often feel is missing. This toolset includes EMDR and Internal Family Systems, as well the creation of a healing space to reflect. We can bring about hope to the stuck parts of our worlds, and gain an edge to finally be fully present in our own lives and relationships again. Email is preferred to take the next step and see if we fit!

The human experience presents unique challenges, opportunities, victories, and struggles for us all; we experience life and our feelings on various spectrums in shared systems: Sometimes the universal feelings of sadness become clinical depression. Sometimes the universal feeling of nervousness can become clinical anxiety. We describe difficulties in processing life events in terms of trauma. We look at compounding impact of transitions as stress. Therapy presents a unique opportunity to join with a trained helper in a safe environment for growth, healing, and change: both in feeling differently and exploring life changes.

My specialties as a psychologist include anxiety, men's health, trauma, family of origin, Autism, ADHD, and self-esteem. My focus with teens is often on tackling academic, athletic, or relational stressors through understanding how to navigate thoughts and feelings.

I'm also passionate about supporting adult men in developing tools to manage stress and anxiety.

My psychology and counseling practice is the expansion of identities through awareness and compassion not just solving problems.

It’s frustrating to commit to change and yet seem to make little progress. It might be time to try something different.

It can be different. I believe in helping individuals on their paths toward flourishing relationships and insightful introspection. I am a first-generation Latino with white privilege. I grew up in a low-socioeconomic neighborhood. I began this journey with a desire for couples to build healthy foundations together, and for children to find their voice in the world around them. I utilize an attachment-based approach that emphasizes change occurring in the therapy room with an exploration of core emotions at the root. You can expect me to show up as the unique me because I value you bringing your unique self.

I love working with diverse people from a variety of backgrounds. My focus is not only on your personal growth, but also on improving your relationships with romantic partners, family members, and friends. I also love helping couples end negative cycles, heal wounds, and deepen connection. My background as a professional musician and record producer also allows me a deep understanding of issues faced by creative people, including tension between creative drive and other commitments, struggles with creative partners, and feeling unfulfilled when your creative energy is drained by your day job.
