Teletherapy for Richmond - 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.

Do you find it difficult to get your own needs met in relationship, taking care of everybody else but yourself? I can help you become empowered to create more balanced and rewarding relationships in your life. Do you feel lonely, distant, and disconnected from your partner? Through our work together you can share greater trust and intimacy with your partner. Are you overwhelmed sometimes, feeling unsafe, and threatened due to the lingering affects of past abuse or trauma? I can help you become resilient to the effects of trauma and gain inner confidence, peace and lightness.

I offer you my kindness, respect and years of my own dedicated self work. Listening, presence and experience is a big part of what I bring to our sessions. A lot of pain and trauma becomes unconscious. I work with you to understand the sources of the problem. We aim to understand the different parts of your self. We work to activate your highest or most authentic self. I also aim to heal the trauma in the body. I am Jungian based, using EMDR, mindfulness psychology, and somatic approaches, all to deepen your relationship to yourself.

Hello! I am a seasoned mental health therapist with more than 20 years' experience, licensed in Oregon and Washington. People tend to seek my help for issues related to life transitions, complex grief & loss, and/or the downstream impacts of childhood trauma (including depression and anxiety). Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, know that you have the capacity to heal - even if part of you doesn't yet believe it's possible. My practice is trauma-informed and person-centered, and I am deeply committed to creating an environment in which you feel seen, understood and valued.

UPDATE: Waitlist for both online & in-person sessions - - - Welcome! I am a Portland-based psychotherapist and I provide individual therapy to young adults and adults. I strive to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore past experiences, tackle current stressors, and realize goals for your future. Utilizing a warm and collaborative approach, my goal is to help you move through feelings of worry, fear, sadness, and hopelessness in order to overcome obstacles, break old patterns, and live a fuller, happier life. I can work with clients located in Oregon (in-person and online) and New York (online).

Are you burned out professionally and personally and would like to get your health and well-being on track? Have you found yourself at a crossroads - feeling stuck even if you’ve read some books or tried to grow on your own? Do you seek someone who has a lot of experience and a deep capacity to understand the complexities that life can deliver? As a healthcare professional of over twenty years, I bring warmth, wisdom, humor, and authenticity to each session.

I help people access their strengths, find clarity within, understand mind-body signals and enjoy an improved sense of fulfillment in life - even in hard times. We look at how individual well-being exists within extensive structures beyond the self. My therapeutic style aligns well with people who are struggling with the overwhelming state of the world, feeling out of touch with their deepest dreams and values, and dealing with stressful life transitions in relationships, work, and beyond. The above scenarios may manifest internally in the form of depression, anxiety, grief, burnout and feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

My focus includes gender and gender transition, sexuality, racial identity, trauma, and personal growth. I welcome people of all identities. I have trained in supporting people through gender affirming surgeries including letter of support. We will create a safer container for you to explore what hurts and what helps. I find it useful to consider how social, racial, gender, and economic injustice intersects with your experience. This work can be hard and sometimes we uncover painful spots. I incorporate mindfulness and grounding work to promote a safer experience.

Do you want to find a new career direction, grow a solo business, thrive at work or complete a creative project? But, you feel stuck. With a Master's in Counseling and a certificate in Human Resource Management, I can help you set goals, break them into doable tasks, and provide support so you'll steadily you ahead.

The human condition is stressful for everyone right now. Healthcare providers, LGBTQ2SIA + and those with chronic pain/medical illness are feeling it more than ever. Depression, anxiety and trauma responses can be overlooked/minimized. What you are experiencing is real and you deserve the time, space and support to explore this. Are your thoughts, feelings and behaviors getting in the way of your relationships/work/goals/well-being? Are you taking better care of others than you are of yourself? Is it time to move beyond surviving and begin thriving? If so, perhaps it's time to reach out for a helping hand. All are welcome here.

Are you having difficulty overcoming a problem, mood or behavior? If an issue is not relatively easy to change, then chances are, there is a block of some sort preventing the progression and flow of positive thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is frustrating, discouraging and painful as an intelligent and competent person to work on a goal and not get the results you hope for.

Life, relationships, even moments, can be hard. It is often difficult to talk about what is going on inside, to find footing when it seems your life is crumbling. I will hold space for you, all yours, a hard thing to find in real life, and provide an opportunity for you to connect more deeply with yourself, heal and recover. We will work collaboratively to develop a healthier, happier you. This creates a natural domino effect into your life. You will learn skills, insight, see the negative dynamics that effect you consciously and unconsciously. This allows you to change, to integrate all the hurt pieces of you into a healthy whole.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults with concerns that include anxiety (e.g., generalized anxiety, phobias, panic, OCD, social anxiety), managing chronic medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, IBS), adjusting to life transitions (e.g., changing jobs, retirement, graduating from school), stress management, and changing health behaviors, such as smoking or overeating. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, including those who are diverse in terms of ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic status, nationality, and cultural background.

Accepting new clients. As humans we have vitality that moves through us in the direction of purpose, creativity, expansion, connection, and love. However, when we have unresolved trauma and stress in our bodies, we can become disconnected from ourselves, people, and place, reenacting unhelpful patterns in ways that keep us stuck, small, and unfulfilled. Mental well-being is not just a matter of the mind; it encompasses the nervous system, relationships, sense of belonging, environmental factors, biology, belief systems, daily habits, and culture. I believe all people have the wisdom within to heal, recover, and transform.

I help client's heal from trauma and re-establish a relationship with their intuition and learn how to trust themselves again with therapeutic techniques such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Energy Psychology, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Somatic-based interventions. I infuse the therapeutic process with Human Design and other strategies for building intuition and self-trust to heal. I help client’s through a deconditioning process to challenge past lessons and messages that no longer serve them so they can realign with their true self. Each person is unique and deserves an individualized approach to treatment.
