Psychodynamic Therapists in Portland, OR
Psychodynamic (Jungian) orientation: Just as the conscious mind, the unconscious mind can be directional.
Everyone needs to talk about their personal concerns, emotions, and life challenges. At times, it is best to talk to someone who is not a friend or family member. I provide a place and process for these personal conversations. I will support you as you resolve old issues and emotional blocks, find new insights and choices, develop new ways of coping and acting. I am interactive and supportive. I work with individuals experiencing stress/anxiety/trauma; depression; childhood and relationship issues; life transitions - divorce, the death of someone important, illness, and transitions of midlife or becoming an elder; ADHD.

I use a psychodynamic approach to gain a wider perspective of systems you are part of to help you better navigate them.
The human condition is stressful for everyone right now. Healthcare providers, LGBTQ2SIA + and those with chronic pain/medical illness are feeling it more than ever. Depression, anxiety and trauma responses can be overlooked/minimized. What you are experiencing is real and you deserve the time, space and support to explore this. Are your thoughts, feelings and behaviors getting in the way of your relationships/work/goals/well-being? Are you taking better care of others than you are of yourself? Is it time to move beyond surviving and begin thriving? If so, perhaps it's time to reach out for a helping hand. All are welcome here.

My approach prioritizes a psychodynamic and relational frame, though I draw from mindfulness and cognitive approaches to empower my clients with tools along this often abstract, meandering path that is the work.
Perhaps you were raised in an environment that prioritizes mental health and is supportive of psychotherapy. Conversely, and as often the case, you were taught from caregivers that it was "weak" or "shameful" to obtain professional support, or to even seek help outside of yourself. These sentiments still permeate our culture, and though they are shifting, I find that they still lurk and impact one's drive to pursue mental health care. So in either case (and for all others in between), getting here was a process. In this spirit, I want to commend you for taking this huge and vulnerable step toward healing and deeper self-awareness!

The quality of the client/therapist relationship is key for a successful therapeutic process. I follow a relational psychodynamic approach based upon your unique strengths and challenges. As a therapist, I am here to walk beside you in your healing journey, providing support and tools best suited to your individual goals. My philosophy is holistic, and I recognize and work with connections between the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of experience.

My practice is grounded in Jungian/ psychodynamic theory that integrates somatic experiencing (SE), person-centered, trauma-informed and cognitive approaches.
I specialize in trauma and PMDD. I believe each person has a natural tendency towards healing, and my role is to support your unique path. I find dreams to be invaluable for healing and encourage folks to explore their dreams in and outside of therapy. I use Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) in my practice to help folks develop a deep connection with their bodies. No cycle is the same. Together, we’ll get to know your body’s unique phases and how they influence your body, mind, and spirit. Rather than trying to control your menstrual cycle for relief, we'll listen to your body and learn what it needs to be adequately supported.
