I integrate my practical experience as a former NASA mechanical engineer with my psychological training as a therapist to see individuals, couples and families. My approach is strength-based, cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed. I also have extensive experience in addiction, military family issues, and I especially enjoy working with adolescents.

No one understands the pain you are feeling. It’s exhausting to carry this weight every day. You can’t imagine it will ever get better. You want change.

I have experience supporting clients with a range of issues, and have training in many different treatment methods. I work well with motivated clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress management, gender exploration, as well as parenting and relationship challenges. If it seems what you are looking for is outside of my scope of practice or experience, I will work to connect you with providers and resources to best serve your needs.

Starting therapy or coming back to therapy can feel scary and overwhelming. My goal is to help make it feel that therapy is a great tool, there to help work through and get through the hardest days.

Being a leader or career professional is hard. You face pressures and demands that can take a toll, leading to nights staring at the ceiling worrying about that uncomfortable meeting in the morning, a desire to please people, and maybe even unhealthy levels of stress and anxiety. The stress of your responsibilities and interactions at work might be causing you burnout; you might even be noticing your confidence decline and your relationships suffer. You don’t have to sacrifice your mental health for your career. Let’s uncover the most grounded you with love and self-compassion. It’s time for some heart-centered therapy.

I am a state-licensed and board-certified Professional Counselor in Oregon and Washington. I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and began my clinical work in the mental health field in 2006.

As a therapist, I believe everyone has inherent value, and I want to create a space where every person feels safe, confident and comfortable. As well as meeting people where they are and help them rediscover their intrinsic value, worth, and develop self-compassion and self-worth. There are challenges in life that are hard. I will work to empower you and to help you become the best and strongest version of yourself. My goal is to walk along side you through this process. We all face challenges in life but sometimes we need someone to support and cheer us on.

The road of life isn't always smooth and easy... and it's a road you don't have to navigate alone. Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Do you defeat yourself with self-critical thinking? Does stress get in the way of accomplishing your goals in life? I enjoy working with clients who are ready to seek the road to recovery - from trauma, abuse, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and the stress of life.

Hello! My name is Dawn and I would be honored to assist you in your therapeutic journey of introspection and growth! In my work as a clinician, my goal is to establish a strong, safe therapeutic alliance by collaborating with clients to help them identify and accomplish goals and resolve issues with respect to the dignity and diversity of each client.

Welcome, I'm Amber, and I'm delighted that you've found your way here because healing can take place & growth can happen if you surrender to showing up for yourself & trust the process. Possible symptoms you might be experiencing are discomfort, exhaustion, impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, loneliness, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, depression, irritability, & feeling disconnected from others and yourself, you might be experiencing symptoms of unresolved trauma. It is my passion and mission to help facilitate your self-exploration and emotional stabilization through client centered, client driven therapy.

If you're looking for an empathetic and accepting space to work from the challenges you're currently experiencing towards the resilient person you are becoming, I would be honored to support you in your journey. In therapy with me, you can expect an open, compassionate space to engage in your mental health care. In my practice, I work with children, teens, families, couples, and individuals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, struggling in your relationships, or having difficulty navigating life changes? Perhaps, past events continue to impact you. It takes courage to reach out for support. My approach is practical and holistic. I believe counseling is a collaborative process. Consistency and commitment to therapy and personal growth can result in a reduction in distressing emotions, increased coping skills, improved relationships, a greater sense of inner peace and personal empowerment to create the life you want.

I create a safe, non-judgmental space for children/adolescents/young adults and their families through deep listening and observation, forming an authentic, trusting, compassionate relationship where understanding and healing can begin by processing difficult experiences, thoughts, or behaviors. I take a whole-brain, whole-body approach to customize a treatment plan for each client, building upon their strengths and unique gifts. Utilizing Play, Art, Nature and Book Therapy, as well as YogaCalm and Collaborative Problem Solving, my goal is to have a calm, grounded client that finds joy and can set goals to pursue their dreams.

Are you feeling crippled with anxious thoughts, and the fear of your next anxiety attack looming around the corner? Have you experienced life altering trauma which you struggle to move past? Have you found that confiding in friends isn’t enough anymore? In my practice, I strive to help my clients find ways to confront their anxiety and trauma triggers in a way that strips them of their power, and allows you to thrive in your life, free from the confines of fear.

Sometimes when we experience stress, loss or life transitions we can feel overwhelmed, alone and stuck. Therapy can offer you a safe space where you can become unstuck and evolve into You. In the therapeutic setting, I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic and supportive environment in which individuals can explore their hurts, struggles, hopes and dreams. Individuals will also gain skills, insight, and perspective which promote relief, healing and personal growth. Treatment is tailored specifically for you as there is "no one size fits all" when it comes to individual differences.

At this time I am only taking clients for an Accountability & Goal-Setting ("body-doubling") group - please inquire for details! My individual caseload is full at this time. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and am especially interested in helping folks build queer community. I work with individuals of all identities and support clients in crafting a meaningful life around their values. I can help draw connections between past events and current patterns. I'm here to support clients by offering compassion, curiosity, and space to talk without judgment.

Reaching out for help demonstrates inner strength and willingness to face various life challenges. As an immigrant, accessing resources and services that feel inclusive and culturally sensitive is challenging. My journey in healing as an individual, a mother, and a caring community member has sparked a desire to provide culturally sensitive care to people from all walks of life. Although many clients have experienced marginalization due to their background as an immigrant (BIPOC, MENA, AMEMSA), other clients have realized numerous privileges in their life and felt a sense of inclusion and reconciliation within the larger community.

Maybe you are someone who cares for others, a college or a graduate student, an immigrant, or a driven professional. Perhaps you feel like you need extra help because doing all of the above can be overwhelming. If it is true about you, we might be a good match.
