Domestic Abuse Therapists in Portland, OR
Moving through change can feel daunting and overwhelming, especially when we go it alone. Our inner critic tells us that we’re not doing it the right way, or maybe that we can’t do it at all. That desire towards perfection pulls us away from our authentically flawed selves, who both get to make mistakes and learn from them–how beautiful!

I believe our past experiences can have a lasting impact on us, effecting how we move through life as adults. This can impact how we view ourselves, how we view others, and how we connect in relationships. Fortunately, our past experiences can be worked through in adulthood. As adults we can intentionally explore what we have learned to determine what we can hold onto and what is no longer serving us. This means we can orient toward a journey of healing and growth. This may involve confronting past lessons, examining our present patterns of relating, and adjusting so our futures can be aligned with who we are and what we want.

The greatest joy comes when clients break free of painful patterns and move to feeling comfortable with life. I've been a counselor for 30 years, with extensive experience helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions. Getting at underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works there's more than just insight; clients feel it in their heart as well as their head. Those around them see that they have a life worth living with more happiness and better handling of the inevitable potholes.

I am a person-centered counselor and I work with clients around increasing self-awareness and self-esteem through mindfulness practices. I lean heavily on wisdom that has evolved from Eastern philosophies and contemplative traditions. I also provide psychedelic experience preparation, harm reduction, and post integration work for psychedelic curious adults. I work closely with clients to create a safe environment for exploration and the facilitation of personal growth towards desired areas of change. I have a focus on depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and coping with societal or existential stressors.

My style in working with clients is positive and direct. I believe wholeheartedly in the possibility of change, and that the deepest, most powerful change starts on the inside. As our core beliefs, patterns and awareness shifts, life on the outside begins to reflect those internal changes, resulting in greater satisfaction and meaning. My approach involves working in partnership with clients, using the counseling relationship as a catalist on the journey to healing and growth, both individually and in relationships.

When someone comes to counseling it’s because they want something to change. I believe change happens by trying to be who we are rather than trying to be different. I believe it’s important to have space to embody, explore, and learn about core aspects of the human experience, including sexuality and gender. By acting as a curious and non-judgmental other, I can help clients explore and accept all parts of themselves.

I specialize in individual therapy which focuses on anxiety, depression, and trauma. My work typically centers around assisting the client to enhance their own awareness capabilities, processing traumatic experiences, exploring core beliefs derived from these experiences, and collaboratively working to undo false narratives which have created the anxiety and mood symptoms bringing them into treatment.

As a family therapist, I believe that each family, couple and individual has the ability to heal using their own internal strengths. My focus is on restoring balance and building communication within families as they are integral in increasing the overall well-being of individuals, couples and families. I identify symptoms such as marital discord, addiction, behavioral issues among children and adolescents, mental and medical health issues as becoming an unhelpful part of the family system. My approach to reduce the impact of these symptoms and break harmful patterns is collaborative, encouraging members to be open and honest throughout the progression of therapy.
