(Please note that I am currently located in Illinois and can only offer video or phone sessions). It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I also work with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially and work with high functioning autistic individuals.

Behavior change is difficult, even when you know the rewards that will follow. I am a licensed psychologist who has been providing psychological assessments and evidence-based treatment for children, teens, and adults, while also providing treatment for anxiety and mood conditions. Do you or a loved one has difficulty at school, work, or with relationships? Are you concerned about your child's social development? Are you wondering if your child has ADHD or a learning disability? Are you concerned about changes with your parent's memory or behavior? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then he can help.

I’m a nationally board-certified & Oregon licensed music therapist, and registered professional counselor associate.

I am currently working under the supervision of Andrew K Lundgren, M.A., LMFT, LPC at Dirkse Counseling & Consulting, Inc., in working towards my full licensure. In addition to therapy, I also offer neurodivergent-affirming assessment for Autism and ADHD. My assessment type cannot be used to obtain certain disability services.

Technically, I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT). Relationally, I am an empathetic listener and collaborator. I listen and then collaborate with you to discover the opportunities for progress and growth. I believe immediate change IS possible albeit in small steps. Change brings improvement. Improvement brings more change and the cycle continues. Breaking out of the old dead-end cycle and entering a cycle of growth and change is what I am all about.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with depression? Do you have a hard time managing stress or finding balance in your life? If so, you may be an ideal client for my practice. I work with individuals who are looking to improve their mental health and overall well-being.

They may be experiencing challenges related to relationships, work, or other areas of their lives, and they are motivated to make positive changes.

Life can be challenging sometimes and focusing time on yourself can be a rare treat. That's what therapy is all about...YOU and the goals YOU set.

With compassion and listening, I will work with you to identify your underlying issues, help you to clarify your core beliefs, and help you to release limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns. My goal is to support you, to deepen your capacity for self-reflection, acceptance, and life purpose. I will honor your strengths while helping you to work through life transitions. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I can integrate whatever style of therapy you are interested in (e.g. talk, education, interactive, area specific). I use John Gottman's therapy for couples counseling. I offer sliding scale or insurance billing.

Located in Portland, Oregon, I graduated with a Master of Science in Counseling, I went on to do Doctoral work at the California Institute of Integral Studies in East West Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism along with a diverse background ranging from 25 years of studying/practicing Tibetan Buddhism to in depth experience in different modalities of psychology, philosophy and healing. I maintain a compassionate setting for individuals to explore, understand and create meaning in their lives and heal. I utilize a framework from various domains to assist clients in making sense of their experiences in a collaborative and fruitful fashion.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

My work focuses on taking a collaborative approach with clients to identify external challenges, personal choices, and regain a sense of control and meaning in situations that can feel chaotic and overwhelming. This means being encouraged to identify personal strengths to find solutions instead of pathologizing difficulties. My approach often focuses on issues relating to social justice, intersecting oppressed identities, and navigating an authentic sense of identity development within a culture of privilege and oppression.

An ideal client is one who is ready to be honest with me about what's really going on. What they're really feeling. A person who is ready to turn over some stones and see what's really underneath life challenges. A person who is ready to utilize the skills and tools they learn in therapy and actively incorporate them into their daily lives. Their issues may seem varied but from my experience we are all trying to get our basic needs met and when they're not we become disturbed. Let's find effective ways to get your needs met. Cope with the unexpected challenges of life and navigate toward a life you dreamed of having.
