Art Therapy in Portland, OR

As a therapist, I take your therapy needs seriously. I use a variety of interventions and therapeutic modalities to develop a full sense of self and comfort within yourself. Being culturally diverse and allowing my clients to heal from their own realms, whether spiritually or culturally, is at the heart of who I am.

Many people grow up in dysfunction and therefore they relate in inappropriate ways. Clients that I have helped the most typically relate to these dysfunctional ways: They guess at what normal is. They judge themselves without mercy. They have difficulty relaxing and enjoying life. They have difficulty with intimate relationships. They over-react to changes over which they have no control. They constantly seek approval and affirmation. They feel that they are different from other people. They avoid conflict or aggravate it; rarely do they deal with it. They fear failure, but sabotage their success.

Are you overwhelmed and and exhausted? Are you feeling stuck in patterns that are limiting you such as addiction, depression, anxiety or relationship trouble? If so, they may be related to attachment and or trauma. At The Portland Attachment & Trauma Healing Center we use an integrated approach that incorporates interpersonal Neurobiology. We use effective right-brained therapy protocols such as Lifespan Integration and Attachment Focused EMDR to help build self-empathy and self-compassion. We can help. Just give us a call!

I believe that therapy can be social justice; self care can be a rebellion. I prioritize Queer, BIPOC and female identified care. All people are creative, resourceful and capable of growth. Change is difficult and we are all deserving of support. I am honored to work with folks through all of life’s transitions. If we decide to work together, we will identify goals and work through the barriers to becoming more healthy, happy and fulfilled. Email and I'll respond quickly. Phone calls may take longer.

Do you have a heaviness in your chest that is holding you down? Do you want to break free from that feeling? Sometimes people don't want to talk about depression because they might feel that there is no hope. I'm here to tell you that there is hope. I'm not going to lie, there is no quick fix, but there are tools that I have a lot of experience working with people to overcome their depression as well as anxiety and trauma. I believe that if we work together, something will change for the better.

Hi and thanks for looking at my profile! I have been in the field for 20 years (licensed counselor for 15) and I have worked with many people of different ages and issues. The common thread I see is the need to be seen through eyes of compassion and to make sense of the struggles and experiences you’ve had. What is different about my work is that I have spent over a decade studying the energetic patterns behind the manifestation of psychological issues. Working with Chakra Psychology and astrological archetypes I assist you in understanding yourself and your patterns at a deeper level. I teach this method entitled Sacred Psychology.

The people who reach out to me for help want to experience a therapeutic alliance where their voice and opinions on problems and care are equally important in the room. The goals of therapy are to resolve relationship issues, low self-esteem, identity issues, existential meaning, practical life challenges, unexpected life transitions, and negative thought patterns. Person-centered, intersectionality-feminist theory, nature-based, CBT, ACT, and bibliotherapy.

I offer counseling and coaching for adults and their families who are facing challenging life transitions, such as serious medical illness (e.g. cancer, multiple sclerosis), relationship change, career change and retirement, midlife revitalization, loss and bereavement.

I draw on over 25 years of experience with somatics, mindfulness/meditation, and the creative arts to bring a unique synergy of skills to my counseling approach. In our sessions, you can expect to go beyond conventional therapy, merging somatic practices with a deep exploration into your emotional world and, often, what lies beyond the self. In our time together, we will engage with your body's wisdom and reimagine personal narratives, turning these insights into practical actions for holistic healing and self-growth.

You may be unsure how to explain your feelings and how to get unstuck. There may be parts of your personality from the past that are tying you down. We can talk to all of the parts of you and better understand who you are and where you want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Holistic Nutritionist. With my background in both disciplines, I believe strongly in looking at both the physical and mental factors that may be impacting a person's life. I worked for over 20 years in community mental health and private practice helping clients address anxiety, postpartum depression, food and body image struggles, divorce, ADHD, stress, depression, parenting, work/life balance and attachment. I feel the therapy room should be a safe, non-judgmental place to explore everything that is impacting your life.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and person-centered counseling. I don’t believe that therapy is a “one size fits all,” and I utilize a variety of methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Attachment Theory to provide an approach that will fit your individual needs.

****PRACTICE FULL****Talking helps! I am a skilled and caring therapist, and work to help others navigate hardship, find ease, and nurture inner wisdom. My work is strongly founded in establishing a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. I provide non-judgmental support for a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity concerns, PTSD/trauma, mood disorders, and chronic illnesses.

The practice of being human is utterly challenging and incredibly complex. I offer empathetic support for individuals, couples, and families who frequently fall back into their own negative thought patterns and family dynamics. Using a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychology, and a Family Systems approach, I can help you recognize and better understand how an individual action may affect yourself and others.

My commitment is to offer effective therapy. As a person seeking therapy, you need a counselor who can understand and meet you where healing and growth is waiting to take place within you. Let's connect and find out if that counselor is me. I offer depth therapy that is emotionally sensitive, trauma-informed and transpersonal: integrating soul-searching and the management of daily life & relationships. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of nature therapy, body-centered expression and a receptive, feminine/masculine balanced approach.

Imagine finally feeling like your true self, no longer overwhelmed or caught in a cycle of frustration from life's relentless challenges. Envision a space where supportive guidance gently unravels the burdens you've carried—be it relationship issues, stress, anxiety, the depths of depression, grief, or the shadows of past trauma—revealing the essence of who you are. I've been there too, caught in the same exhausting cycles that hold us back from truly living, and I understand the courage it takes to seek change. With a trauma-informed lens, I am deeply committed to guiding you through breaking free from life's overwhelming cycles.
