Are you finding yourself focusing on the past, anxious about the future, or overall stressed about circumstances in your life? Are you struggling in relationships, and finding it difficult to set and maintain boundaries with others? Do you find yourself being overly critical of yourself? Are you finding past events still affecting how you view and interact with the world around you? Life can be hard, and we all develop ways of coping through tough times. Sometimes those ways of coping are no longer effective for us, and we deserve to learn what works for us so we can live a peaceful, healthy, happy life.

I have experience working with children and youth experiencing difficulty regulating emotions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, peer difficulties, school issues, family changes, grief, loss, trauma, and post-adoption challenges.
I believe there comes a time in most people's lives when it's helpful to have a supportive person to guide them through challenges they may be experiencing. It takes strength and courage to decide to begin therapy. If this is something you are considering for your child then you should be commended! As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I engaged in Synergetic Play Therapy (TM), "a research-informed model of play therapy blending the therapeutic power of play with nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity." - Lisa Dion, creator of Synergetic Play Therapy

I work with individuals and couples who are adjusting to a change in their life or find themselves "stuck" in patterns of behaviors or moods that disturb them. Examples include relationship stress, anxiety, depression, family of origin issues and addiction/abuse concerns. Some times this is a result of a loss of a loved one, a change in relationship status or employment status. Sometimes the cause is not apparent.

My waitlist is currently closed. The idea of starting therapy can be intimidating. As a society, we have been conditioned to believe that therapy is only for those who have “something wrong” with them. For many, that belief can lead to carrying feelings of shame, low self-worth, and frustration that they can’t move past it. As a therapist, it is my goal to help you understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Rather, it is my hope that together, we can shift from asking “what’s wrong with me?” to “what happened to me?”

Hi! In my life I have learned the value of a good counselor, someone who is there to listen, provide perspective, and challenge assumptions. A person that is there to help you tell your story, find meaning, and identify strengths. Counseling is not always an easy thing for people to engage in and can seem intimidating and scary at times. It may lead you to explore things that are painful and frightening, and may bring up emotions that many of us are hesitant to explore. As I work with people I strive to make a space where these feelings, experiences, and thoughts can be freely expressed and explored in a way that promotes healing.

Using a client centered focus my desire is to provide you with a safe and welcoming space for you to work through your identified issues and foster an environment that utilizes your strengths and creates individual growth. Much of my career focus has been with adults that have severe and persistent mental illness that intersect with the justice system. I primarily worked with those transitioning out of the correctional setting and those still incarcerated. I have a strong belief in restorative justice offering compassion to both victims and survivors. I believe strongly in a mindful approach to our mental health.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile page. My focus as a therapist is to help individuals improve the quality of their lives. Each one of us has our own life path, and I am here to help you explore your path and make positive changes. I envision our work as empowering and leading you to a healthier and more fulfilling life. We all experience times in our lives that feel difficult, perhaps even impossible. During those times, we may feel that we have no one we can talk to or who understands how we are feeling, and it is then we choose to seek out therapy.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and families. A basic guiding principle in my work is that, when we are able to really see and accept where we are, and who we are, we begin to heal and grow. I see therapy as a sacred space, a place of safety in which we can allow ourselves to go deeper into our experience of ourselves, the other, and of our life as a whole. There is a trust I have found in this process, that if we attend to what comes up in this place, it will lead us through.

I am looking forward to working with adults, couples, families, adolescents and/or children (in no particular order) that are interested in art therapy and counseling. I have had 5 years experience in a residential setting with adolescents who struggle with both addictions and mental health concerns. And for another 7 years I worked with children and families in need of significant services at a non-profit organization downtown. I am now primarily working with Clients (like you!) at my private practice in SE Portland and am truly enjoying the experience.

Hi! We might be a good fit if you live in Oregon & a few of these questions resonate for you: What is working within my current relationship(s)? What would healthy & holistic boundaries look like for us? What patterns are my partner(s) & I stuck in? What realities do we dream for our relationship(s)? How does my community & our shared history support me as I create a meaningful life? How do I process how others' histories, traumas or pain contributed to their harmful impact on me? How do I navigate grief & loss?
