Therapists in Portsmouth, Portland, OR

We all have experiences of feeling stagnant, imbalanced or disconnected and the path forward can be paved with unsettling uncertainty as you venture into new directions. This can feel like a difficult and isolating journey; yet It is in those instances where we are our most creative and resilient selves. We often underestimate our own strengths and magnify our fears and anxiety, forcing ourselves to limit choices in life and closing ourselves off to change. When we gain new insight into ourselves and how we connect to the world, we can find new ways to find the next step towards a more authentic life and connection to loved ones.

Daily challenges, painful experiences or emotions, and uncertainty are all common, shared experiences of being human. These moments along with simply feeling lost, alone, stuck, sad or anxious offer opportunities for healing and growth! Starting therapy is a positive step towards accessing inner resilience and bringing voice to your authentic self. Through individual, group, and family counseling, I work with kids, "tweens," teens and adults navigating a range of life's stressors including transitions, relationship issues, anxiety/overwhelm, grief/loss, school/work struggles, parenthood, caregiving, and finding purpose.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, tired, physical discomfort, depressed, hopeless, sleep deprived, dissatisfied? Or possibly struggling with experiencing a loss, a life transition, feeling displaced? I have a strong background in working with individuals who seek assistance to restore calm in the body, learn to regulate emotions, understand/ manage thought patterns, and ultimately achieve balance and grounding. ​
