Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Oregon
As a clinical psychologist trained as an integrationist, I enjoy working with people from a holistic perspective. I believe it is important to consider not only what is going on in the present, but also what has happened developmentally, biologically, interpersonally,and cognitively. In addition to conceptualizing our experiences as people from a systems perspective, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy using a DBT-informed frame of practice. What this means is that change comes about by learning new behaviors in a variety of contexts while balancing the reality of a person's situation and skill level with acceptance.

Whether your goal is self-improvement or learning to be a more supportive and empathic parent, colleague, friend, or romantic partner, I can help you develop an increased understanding of the issues that are common among neurodivergent people.
I am autistic, and a neurodiversity-affirming professional. This means I do not seek to change others, but focus on strength and adaptation, not assimilation. We can dig into life's fundamental questions: Who am I, what do I want, why am I here, and who should journey with me? I am not a therapist, but instead, I specialize in consulting and coaching those who want to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Our work together might focus on recovering from past mistakes, understanding how we came to those mistakes, and learning to make different choices and decisions in the future. It might be learning to say no.

While working in OHSU's Department of Medical Psychology, I specialized in the assessment and treatment of Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, TBI, Autism Spectrum Disorders and related medical conditions.
I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon for over 25 years. The origins of my orientation to psychotherapy lie in the Client Centered work of Carl Rogers where empathy, unconditional positive regard, genuineness and acceptance guide the therapeutic pathway toward personal growth. Along the way I've studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), all of which inform my clinical approach to treatment, and are especially useful in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, e.g. Social Anxiety and OCD.

Therapists, just like clients, are also multi-faceted humans who find themselves needing nurturance and support while on their own healing and learning journeys; so we joyfully provide systemic, relationally-based clinical supervision, consultation, and training to therapists and other helping professionals.
Transformative healing is possible. We have felt it, and we know that sometimes people simply need support, guidance, and someone to walk alongside them in their time of need. At our center we strive to meet people where they are in their healing journey, in their transformations. We know that accessing therapy can be daunting, and sometimes scary, so we want to let you know that "we get it" and we will work to honor wherever you find yourself when you take the courageous step to seek support. Central to our center is the offering of individual/relational/group mental health services to, yet we are excited to encompass much more.

I work with clients from a systematic approach. This approach allows clients to identify dysfunctional patterns of communication and other behaviors. This approach also aims to treat the underlying issues rather than solely focusing on the problem itself. I utilize a reality-based approach to treatment by using therapies that help clients establish greater control over their lives while enhancing the ability to build meaningful and effective relationships. My main goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where the clients can learn to focus on thoughts and behaviors as well as learning new adaptive experiences.

I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 30 years. I have a deep passion for children/adolescents and their well-being. My philosophy is based on a psychodynamic, developmental approach, which includes object relations theory and the model of Kohut’s Self Psychology. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also helpful in changing patterns that impede growth and awareness. Expressive Arts are often useful tools in developing new perceptions and perspectives for problem-solving. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and therefore respect the unfolding of each individual person.

Mental and behavioral health are as important as physical health, especially for children and teens. More than ever our children need resiliency and good, adaptive coping strategies as well as access to prompt, high-quality treatment for common conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. To increase access to services, I will now offer cognitive-behavioral therapy groups for children with depression and anxiety and parent groups for families impacted by ADHD. Groups size will be kept small. The CBT treatment will follow an established approach for 10 weeks (in person).

From acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a unique approach to psychotherapy. ART is unique because the ART Therapist guides the client to replace the negative images in the mind that cause the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress with positive images of the client’s choosing. This is done quickly, most often within one session! Once the negative images have been replaced by positive ones, the triggers will be gone. Nightmares and repeated intrusive thoughts will stop. Basic & Enhanced training in ART. Kendra offers reality-based talk therapy as well.

You can’t take it anymore. You feel yourself both falling apart inside, freaking out, and then shutting down. You try to live your daily life, but the issues of everyday life trigger memories, leaving you feeling emotionally flooded and agitated. You don’t want to continue the pain of the past into your future, but you find yourself having reactions out of proportion to what is happening. It feels unbearable. You want to be sure the people you love are protected and nurtured unlike how you felt growing up. You worry all the time and you feel paralyzed, as though nothing you do or try matters or makes a difference.
