Therapists in Rose City Park, Portland, OR

Our relationships are our most important asset. And when something feels off it can be excruciating. Through utilizing the latest research in the fields of attachment, neuroscience, and communication we can collaborate to get things back on track. You will learn some new skills in conflict management—even if you are conflict avoidant! And we will get some psychobiological hacks on board quickly which can result in fewer arguments and a greater sense of connection. Many busy couples today are craving a more fulfilling partnership truly sharing the mental and emotional load.

Currently accepting limited individual clients for telehealth in Missouri and Oregon. I specialize in the areas of relationship and attachment issues, later-in-life autism diagnoses (or suspected autism), difficult life experiences, depression, and anxiety, ENM/polyamory, and exploring existence/spirituality. I am Queer welcoming, sex positive, and ENM relationship experienced. I work with ages 18+. I believe firmly in the power of radical acceptance. Whatever the experience may be...noticing, accepting, expressing, and finding true choice helps us get underneath the symptoms to facilitate true growth and empowerment.

Deeply Respectful. Gentle and Empowering. Core Transformation. I will support you in developing curiosity, compassion and mindfulness in the exploration of your inner and outer worlds. All of you is welcome - - heart, body, mind, soul.

I enjoy supporting people who are experiencing various challenges, including grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. We often feel terrified to face our own emotional pain and get to know the parts of ourselves that are feeling helpless, hopeless, or disempowered. I believe that each of us has everything we need within ourselves to find healing and growth. It is my job to support you to connect to yourself and find that path within you. I utilize various techniques to help you cope with (and feel) difficult emotions, connect to your mind and body, and understand the impact of your past and present.

As a Mental Health Therapist and licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon, I provide a safe, collaborative, non-judgmental environment that fosters healing and growth. I engage with compassion, respect, humor, and directness. Together we will identify roadblocks, learn skills, and find new healthy pathways.

I work with women, 21-101, who are facing life transitions, health issues and loss. I specialize in working with women who are experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling to overcome negative thought patterns and interactions, or facing serious health issues, caregiving issues or loss of a loved one   I believe each woman has the inner strength needed to heal and take steps toward life-giving goals.

Relationships are the fundamental building blocks of human experience. We are shaped by and devote many resources to them, and they can be sources of inspiration, support, and consistent love. They can also be harmful and even dangerous, especially when an individual's relationship templates have began as dysfunctional in their families of origin. Many of my clients have been or currently are in relationships with narcissistic/disordered partners, family members, or bosses, or were/are members of high-control groups. Healing is possible after these relationships, and there is hope for choosing healthier people to love.

Are you carrying around too much right now? Getting support through challenging times can help lift the burden. Under stress, our thoughts can be limiting. You can ruminate on change but not make it happen. Relationships can be challenged. During these times you may be experiencing a lack of meaning or purpose in your life. Instead, thoughts can obsess on missed opportunities and regrets. Inner wisdom isn't coming through. Your peace can be restored. You can connect again with the spirit or wisdom in you that knows what is true.

Hello! I am currently accepting new clients, but I do have a wait-list. My goal is to provide a space for you to develop and work toward goals that feel relevant and doable. We can work on developing healthy coping strategies for current stressors, increasing understanding around past experiences, as well as increasing awareness in the present. I believe therapy should be productive and enlightening, but I also know it's uncomfortable and vulnerable. I will ask for your honest feedback throughout the therapy process so that I can adjust my approach as needed.

I specialize in working with people affected by relational trauma and neurodivergence (especially late-diagnosed autistic and bipolar II) folks. My approach is client-centered, which means I focus on developing a relationship with you based on warmth, respect, curiosity, and genuineness. I also incorporate Jungian psychology, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness into my work. If you're curious to learn more, please visit my website or call me to set up a free consultation or first session.

I believe "kids do well if they can." I want to help you and the people in your life figure out what you need to do well. Using person-centered, mindfulness and somatic based, and Collaborative Problem Solving strategies, I've also helped adults find success, since so much of therapy is about patterns formed in childhood for anyone. Creating a space for healing and growth, finding humor in the hard, making connections for healing through healthy relationships gives you opportunities to move past trauma and feelings of overwhelm, anxiety or sadness. There is so much hope for you.

I believe that being seen and heard in the caring non-judgmental presence of another creates an environment where deep healing can occur. I practice from a mind-body holism approach, meaning I honor the inseparable union of mind and body. Many of my clients benefit from somatic healing where years of previous talk therapy has only touched the surface. Together we will navigate a path towards understanding the natural somatic and emotional responses associated with difficult life events. I believe we all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin and at home in our own lives.

Life is full of change and I am passionate about working with women throughout various difficult life transitions including, puberty, going to college, starting a new job/career, pregnancy, postpartum anxiety/depression, adjustment to parenthood and grief and loss. Anxiety, depression or stress and overwhelm can creep up during these moments and we will work together to get you the tools you need to cope and thrive. You are the expert on your own life and I am here to help you explore and process difficult issues, build upon your own inner resources and gain new skills to help navigate your emotions.

You don't have to go through difficult times alone. By seeking help, you have already taken the first step toward making positive life changes. The next step is finding the right person to guide, motivate and support you. I am a counselor with a healthy dose of optimism and realism. I love to work with my clients on problem solving, new skill building, and developing a greater understanding of themselves and the world around us. If you are looking for something "different" from your counselor, I may be a good fit.

Therapy can be hard, and I want to make it as safe and approachable as possible. We all have the potential to be our best selves, and I'm passionate about supporting people through the process of figuring out what that means for them. I treat the person who sits in front of me, whatever they come with - depression, anxiety, a history of trauma, illness, complex family and personal histories. I believe that self compassion and relationship are the key components for any therapeutic relationship.

I strive to provide a safety net in therapy, free from judgment and shame, so that my clients feel safe to explore their relational and erotic desires, practice articulating their needs and boundaries in relationships, and touch on any shadowy parts that need attention and grace. As well as being able to provide general individual and couples support in therapy, I have specialized education and training in working with sexual concerns related to sexual dysfunctions, painful sex, shame or anxiety around sex, and improvement in pleasure. I bring a calm, knowledgeable, and sex positive presence to our exploration of sexual intimacy.

It's hard to remember when you didn’t feel so overwhelmed that you’re barely holding it together. You're feeling stuck and it seems like one more challenge and you’ll be in chaos-mode, scrambling to find a way back to just keeping your head above water. Sometimes the rush of anxiety or fear is so uncomfortable that it affects your concentration and ability to follow through on plans or work. Shame has haunted you through the different parts of your life and it's hard to believe that you could feel seen or that you belong, especially when you have been hurt in the past. You want relief so that you can get your life back.

Do you feel alone in your relationships, or are you having difficulty connecting with others at all? Are you wanting to live a life of meaning and purpose, but don't know how to find it? If you are wanting better connections with those around you, and want to step into living a whole, healthy life, you don't need to suffer. I'd love to work with you. I especially enjoy working with male-identified clients who are highly motivated to take a risk and make a change in their lives. (Note: I am best reached via email.)

I specialize in Trauma & Attachment therapy. My approach utilizes trauma interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting in combination with talk therapy and a strong relationship. Trauma can be a single event incident, childhood wounds from neglect and/or abuse, religious trauma, gender identity/LGBTQIA+ trauma and more. Those who suffer from trauma often struggle to control emotions, lack self-regulation, and face difficulties in relationships with communication and boundaries setting. I am a gender affirming therapist and strong supporter of LGBTQIA+.
