Family Systems Therapists in Happy Valley, OR

The thought of therapy can be confusing and maybe even a little intimidating. That’s why the root of therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist! No framework can replace the importance of a safe and collaborative relationship between a client and therapist. Together, we’ll foster an environment where you can rediscover your resilience, process your lived experiences, and work towards your goals. My true passion is working with couples and families as they navigate life’s challenges together. I specialize in supporting interracial and multicultural couples with communication and multicultural issues.

“Are you suffering with the symptoms of PTSD? Does this impact your relationships? I believe everyone can reach an optimum state of well-being as long as we have the right tools and supports. To help my clients reach this goal, I employ a comprehensive approach with a strong reliance on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and EMDR. It is with this combination of approaches that I can give each client individualized and tailored sessions to meet their needs. My hope is that I can be another supportive tool in each client's therapeutic journey.”

I believe that therapy begins with hope. This means that change is possible and you are not stuck. I desire to both help you maintain hope and support the change process. I believe that you are capable, resilient, and worthy. This means that I operate from a strengths-based and solution-focused perspective. While it is helpful to determine the true challenge, we often tend to fixate on problems that we lose sight of the strengths and possible solutions that can help us navigate trials life brings. This also means that I desire to understand and connect with you in a way that helps you see yourself as capable and worthy.
