Relationship Issues Therapists in Tigard, OR
I believe the therapeutic relationship serves the client to identify new goals and take steps to achieve higher understanding of the self. We will look back at family history and life events for patterns the client may be stuck in. We address the narrative the client uses to "story" their life, observing how language is used in both healthy and unhealthy ways. This allows the client to address those narratives and work to create more productive ones. Couples: Specifically focuses on pre-martial/pre-engagement counseling with couples. Please email me directly if you are interested in this.

I utilize an integrative approach. This means I will draw upon different training, techniques, and ideas to assist you with your specific goals. I strive to provide a unique form of therapy for you and your unique wants and needs. Common aspects of my integrative approach: Client-centered approach grounded in empathy, genuineness, transparency and an open and non-judgmental attitude; Relational approach as often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others etc.) occupy our thoughts and impacts our mood. We can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” to learn and apply these important lessons;

I emphasize the importance of rapport and trust building, and believe that counseling can be effective and beneficial if a strong therapeutic relationship is formed.
Life can be full of stress, grief, and suffering, and as human beings, it can be challenging for us to navigate through all of the negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences that we encounter. Coming from a Humanistic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy background, my approach to psychotherapy focuses on getting to know you and your unique experience so that we as a team can find better ways for you to live the life that you want to live. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and I hope to create a space where you can authentically express yourself in a safe environment that is free of judgment.

Having both personal and professional experiences with grief, caregiving, and complex family dynamics, I am particularly attuned to clients facing those challenges, no matter their role. Grief can show up in all sorts of ways from a death of a loved one, a loss of a job, a relationship breakup, family estrangement, or a change in one's health. Our complex feelings around grief and loss can manifest as anxiety, despair, and anger, as well as feeling disconnected from one's community and one's self. My hope is to provide a path to explore these feelings, and find some relief during difficult life transitions.

Human Nature has adapted, grown and embraced change throughout our history. As an adult, or couple in a relationship, you can explore tools to meet your specific needs. By identifying old triggers and tapes, you can let go of what you have outgrown. Your previous strengths can carry you from who you have been, to who you choose to be. With this old resilience, you can allow change and expand your experiences. You can step forward toward a new vision of you. Choose a "do-over". Learn to accept your changes with self-compassion and a renewed curiosity for self expression. Move from resistance to acceptance to simple joys.

Seeking the assistance of a professional counselor is an important decision. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but once the decision has been made, most people, in my experience, find the outcome to be extremely rewarding. Stress, relationship difficulties, and career disenchantment are just a few of the normal issues that anyone may encounter over the course of one's life. Seeking an experienced and skilled counselor to help deal with any of these concerns is a demonstration of personal strength and healthy coping.

I approach therapy as a collaborative process with my clients identifying areas they want to improve then working with them toward achieving those goals. Whether in relation to managing general life stressors, family or relationship problems, addiction, mood or anxiety disturbance, sexually-related challenges, or employment issues, I conceptualize my role as supporting clients to identify, then enact the choices most likely to produce the changes they desire.

The thought of therapy can be confusing and maybe even a little intimidating. That’s why the root of therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist! No framework can replace the importance of a safe and collaborative relationship between a client and therapist. Together, we’ll foster an environment where you can rediscover your resilience, process your lived experiences, and work towards your goals. My true passion is working with couples and families as they navigate life’s challenges together. I specialize in supporting interracial and multicultural couples with communication and multicultural issues.

" George Lucas I believe real therapy is building a relationship and collaborating.
I believe therapy is about a therapist and clients collaborating together to address mental health issues and or deal with life problems. I believe the client (You) is the expert about themselves concerning strengths, weaknesses, and issues of concern. I believe it is my purpose as a therapist to build a therapeutic relationship which supports the development of your insights, and life skills; including the identification of strengths, and support systems that may aid in the reduction of negative symptoms and improve quality. I do tele-health and I am hoping to be in person by summer 2025 and joined by Mason my therapy dog.

So you’re a millennial woman listening to podcasts and reading books about how to show up “bigger” in your life, have more confidence, and create the life you really want. You want to understand and resolve the anxiety you feel when you think about saying no to friends or expressing your true opinions at work. You’re so tired of agreeing to things only to later regret it and then feel guilty if you don’t follow through. Maybe you’re staying in relationships that feel more like an obligation than a true pleasure, resulting in dread or avoidance. Life is really busy with lots of friends, but you’re left feeling empty and unfulfilled.
