Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Warm greetings - I practice & live on the traditional lands of the Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya, who have & are tending these lands since time immemorial. Life’s difficulties & transitions can cause us to feel overwhelmed, unsettled or stuck. Grief, pain & trauma, challenging relationship. We long for deeper connections, a sense of belonging & for meaningful relationships. This can provide an opportunity to grow up, become more self-aware & develop ways to stay in the presence of ‘what is’. We can reassess what matters to us, build on strengths & resiliency, address unhelpful patterns, heal & move toward living more fully.

Hello! My name is Thomas, and I have returned to my true passion in therapy after a decade as an entrepreneur and corporate leadership trainer. In life, the strategies that worked to survive a past context often block the flow of happiness in our present lives. I work with couples, families, and individuals to help unlock that joyful, present-moment version of ourselves. My toolbox draws from Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and especially Internal Family Systems.

Mental and behavioral health are as important as physical health, especially for children and teens. More than ever our children need resiliency and good, adaptive coping strategies as well as access to prompt, high-quality treatment for common conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. To increase access to services, I will now offer cognitive-behavioral therapy groups for children with depression and anxiety and parent groups for families impacted by ADHD. Groups size will be kept small. The CBT treatment will follow an established approach for 10 weeks (in person).

Looking for a therapist to meet your particular needs can be a complex process. How do you trust someone with your concerns and issues? No one has all the answers. What I have developed over the years are the compassion, skills, approaches and persistence to help you tailor goals and create plans for your situation. Let's work together to make your life more hopeful, fulfilling and happy. I have spent much of my career working with individuals and adolescents in transition and can help you achieve the same success. I offer my services to residents of California by Tele-behavioral Health and in person in Beaverton, Oregon.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
