My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties.

They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I support clients in their autonomy as they make changes in their lives in a side-by-side journey. My philosophical and theoretical background is in Existential Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Theory. I have nearly 5 years of experience in residential care with children and adolescents, and their families, and have also worked in outpatient settings with individuals, children, families, adolescents and adults. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, knitting, travel, playing the piano and time with friends and family.

My approach to therapy primarily follows Integrated Therapy utilizing Psychodynamic, Attachment, and Family Systems theories.
Do you experience anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, parenting struggles, relational dynamic issues or changes, or personal identity concerns? I am here to support you finding your voice within yourself and in close relationships. I believe that our past informs our present, in how we see, feel, hear, connect, and experience our lives. I find behavior to be an important opening to explore the underlying feelings an individual is experiencing in response to others. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which you are the expert of your own life and I am an empathetic and supportive guide helping create a brave, accepting space.

I completed an advanced study program in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which is often useful for problems that don't respond to other therapies.
Are you curious about how counseling can help you? I enjoy working with people who would like to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and of the relationships in their lives. We work collaboratively to identify your priorities and therapy goals -- and to explore internal conflicts that may be getting in your way. When you feel heard and understood, you can start to discover the many unrealized facets of yourself, learn self acceptance and find clarity and purpose. Together we find meaning and direction.

I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, motivational interviewing, interpersonal, psychodynamic, and transformational therapeutic approaches tailored to a client’s presenting problems and their inherent skills that will best match their needs and provide the opportunity for a successful therapeutic outcome.
My clinical practice focuses on adults and adolescents aged 14 and up. I work with a variety of presenting issues but specialize and enjoy working with depression, anxiety, PTSD, healing from historical trauma, couple’s therapy, and helping clients understand the mental health link that is common in people who are experiencing chronic physical pain.

Utilizing a psychodynamic approach, My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative.
Compassion and curiosity are the starting place for our exploration. Life is inherently challenging and difficult, and we all suffer from hurts large and small, past and present. And most of us are plagued by a strong inner critic who thinks they are helping but often shames and limits us. I feel honored to work with people who are deeply examining the relationship they have to themselves and to the world. With a passion for inspiring individuals to claim their own personal excellence, my expertise is in understanding interpersonal dynamics, and successfully counseling individuals and groups into reaching their highest self.

I tailor my approach to you, and am anchored in psychodynamic theory.
We all struggle at times, but shouldn’t have to deal with life’s challenges alone. That’s what counseling is for. I believe in your capacity to embrace your authentic self, heal from painful experiences, and feel better. The people I work with often struggle with self-esteem, relationships, sexuality, gender identity, communication, career, depression, anxiety, grief. Helping you feel better and understand the root of your suffering is what I am here for. I believe that understanding yourself and healing go hand-in-hand.

I believe that as individuals, we all hold an innate wisdom that brings us to healing, but sometimes we need a guide, as painful experiences or relationships are exposed and processed. It has been my privilege to support clients in their individual journeys to healing since 2014, and my work is largely based in CBT and Psychodynamic modalities. I have extensive continuing education to support Survivors of Narcissistic/Antagonistic Abuse, and I am passionate about helping people find healing from toxic relationships.

I incorporate many modalities but my base is in psychodynamic/relational therapy. This is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the interpersonal relationships and dynamics of an individual (I also explore the family system). This type of therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships in shaping an individual's well-being and mental health. Relational therapy aims to help clients explore and understand how their past and current relationships impact their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By examining patterns of interaction, communication styles, and attachment styles, clients can gain insight into their relational struggles.

Over 20 years’ experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families as a therapist and educator. I work through a psychodynamic lens with some coaching, if requested, to help clients gain insight, build resiliency, and learn tools to manage difficult behaviors, emotions, and life stressors with greater awareness and ease.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical psychologist in MA & OR. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a public interest attorney, and as a psychologist, I see the importance of being mindful of social context in the therapy room. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy -an evidence-based treatment- to illuminate how the past and present, external and internal, mutually influence one another. I also integrate tools from other therapy modalities to support the unique needs of each individual.

I offer psychotherapy for individuals. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Northwest Portland, Oregon. I have over twenty years of experience providing psychodynamic psychotherapy to children, adults and families. Often people first come to therapy because of a life crisis or with relationship struggles or conflicts. Changes will come through our developing a relationship in which patterns and experiences can be examined and worked through. These changes can lead to a more satisfying, fulfilling and joyful life.

My primary orientation is psychodynamic, with discrete behavioral tools introduced as appropriate.
I tend to see individuals who achieve success in school and in their careers, but retain a chronic and deep-seated feeling that something is missing. Often, these individuals have gotten by on exceptional logic with little sense that there can be more to their existence. They may be more comfortable doing as opposed to being, thinking as opposed to feeling, and helping as opposed to being helped. High standards commonly include high pressure to self-contain, which can cause immense, private suffering. I aim to provide these individuals with a fuller and more compassionate experience of themselves.

I am motivated by a desire to support people to make sense of what has happened to them across time, and to explore how their past experiences might be impacting their present lives. This has led me to focus on trauma-related issues, in particular the relationship between mind and body in response to traumatic experience. I have extensive experience working with PTSD, disrupted attachment, abandonment, losses and intergenerational trauma. I am trained in psychodynamic and Jungian psychotherapy and draw on approaches from other schools of psychology and modalities
