Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Portland, OR

You have found your way to my profile because you are seeking relief— from body dissatisfaction and chronic dieting, anxiety, or from feeling exhausted of chasing perfectionism and always playing by the "rules" of life. On the outside your life may appear totally put together, but deep down you are yearning to feel more deeply connected to yourself and others. I commonly work with young and mid-life adults who are navigating life transitions and challenges with relationships, parenthood, and career. I am glad you have made your way to my profile, because I wholeheartedly believe you can feel more grounded, connected, and whole.

I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

Ever made to feel never enough? Do you fear how others would react if you were to make a mistake, share your authentic self, or reveal your family or relationship is not as picture perfect? Are you haunted by your past, worried about the future, or feel in some way “broken”? We all learn ways to cope when in an invalidating environment. Perhaps you are the supportive rock for your friends that believe you have it all together. Maybe you learned it was safest to be invisible, perfect, or take care of everyone but yourself.

Working together we will explore your unconscious psyche, find new skills and adaptive ways to cope, and make sense of your internal world and the world around you.

I provide a nonjudgemental space for clients to address anything you choose to bring to therapy.

At the same time, I will also offer you direct feedback and honest observations. Mindfulness work, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Relational work are also important to me.
