Anxiety Therapists in Portland, OR
I want you to know that I see you. You’re struggling, feeling lost or down, or finding yourself dealing with trauma, which makes you anxious, jumpy, and often triggered in your everyday life. Maybe you are feeling stressed and take care of others while putting yourself on the back burner, or have lost touch with the wise nurturing part of yourself. But things can get better.

Do you feel anxious too much of the time? Exhausted, disconnected, without purpose or interest? Do you forfeit your own thoughts and feelings in relationship to others? Would you like to deal with difficulties more effectively than the unconscious impulses to comply, defy or flee? Whether it's a distinct problem or a vague discontent that needs resolution, I hold the space to illuminate, guide and empower your progression. This is where talk is strong medicine. Neuroscience reveals that therapy changes brain chemistry & structure. Habitual patterns fall away to a renewed sense of energy, choice and personal authority.

In relationship work, I use PACT, to help navigate struggles with communication, sex and intimacy, big life transitions, and infidelity, moving you towards a secure functioning relationship. My goal is to help you become experts in reading each other's road maps. In individual work, I address sexual trauma, low self esteem, self criticism, depression and anxiety. Using mindfulness, we will bring awareness to patterns that prevent you from reaching your goals and creating supportive, meaningful relationships. By making slight shifts in old habits, you will begin to see your inner and outer world unfold.

Welcome! As a psychologist and psychoanalyst, I believe that developing a deeper understanding about our current and past experiences within a supportive therapeutic relationship leads to developing more meaningful, clear, and satisfying lives. In psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, the focus is not just on alleviating symptoms, but on understanding and working through beliefs, feelings, desires, conflicts and fears that operate out of awareness and impact current difficulties. This is a collaborative process where we work to explore and change repetitive patterns that leave you feeling lost, stuck, and unfulfilled.

This can help individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress because it provides tools to regulate the nervous system, process difficult emotions, and cultivate a sense of safety, presence, and connection.
I work one-on-one with adults who are seeking to heal from trauma and loss, to understand and accept themselves more fully, to feel more present and connected, and to pursue new directions of personal growth. Most of my clients have been in therapy before—some for many years, but with limited results. They often arrive at my practice seeking an alternative to traditional “talk therapy” and the medical model of mental health. I offer a holistic approach that honors the body, mind, spirit, and natural world.
