Therapists in Wilsonville, OR

As a therapist I am warm, compassionate, strength-based, authentic, and open-minded. I strongly believe that individuals and families are resilient and can grow and heal when engaged in a collaborative process with the right therapist. I will work together with you to make sure that you feel supported in your journey towards healing and growth. I am highly collaborative, authentic, and transparent. I will always strive to find the best approach for you and/or your family. I endeavor to create an environment that fosters mutual respect, growth, curiosity, and hope.

Openings for OHP CareOregon members! Along with my dog, Pippa, I specialize in treating attachment trauma and ADHD, offering services to adults and kids including individual, group and family therapy. My experience has taught me that our mental health struggles are often rooted in shame. We feel guilty ("I'm not doing enough") and inadequate (I'm not good enough"). The self-judgement and self-criticism resulting from painful past experiences sucks the life right out of us! My goal is to support you in discovering a path beyond "just surviving", a path with less loneliness and more wholeness.

My focus as a therapist is cultivating an environment of acceptance and warmth so that my clients may feel empowered to engage in self-exploration and develop additional ways of coping. I facilitate self-exploration aimed towards increasing client's sense of joy, creativity, self-forgiveness, perspective, confidence, warmth, compassion, and desire to heal. I have experience providing therapy for clients experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility, and mental health issues in pregnancy. I also have experience with generalized anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, grief, trauma, and relationship issues.

I am looking for couple clients such as monogamous, heterosexual, queer and sexually fluid, trans, cohabitating, and married couples. Also, I specialize in racially diverse couples such as Black/African American, Latinx, Asian, and interracial/interethnic couples. The prominent presenting issues I work with couples on range from communication issues, conflict resolution, blended family stress to infidelity, and infertility. Then, for individual clients, I am looking for women and men clients, specially focusing on male, men of color, and women of color clients.

Our approach to therapy is tailored toward each unique person, family or couple. We see people with difficulties in relationships, depression, anxiety, recovery from trauma, parenting issues, grief and loss issues, eating disorders and weight issues, chronic pain, career decisions and addictions. Our approach is a combination of traditional techniques and heart centered deep healing. Our approach geared toward finding the source of overwhelming feelings and making connections with current difficulties. Within this process we encourage healthy release of feelings which leads to healthier relationships and positive self esteem.

Life is not simple. It can be really challenging to navigate, especially on our own. I work with clients all across Oregon to help them heal from abusive relationships, toxic family dynamics, narcissistic parents, partners, bosses, and/or religious groups. I offer therapy focused on self-rebuilding, relationship struggles, developing healthy boundaries, and discovering your healthier way to move forward as your most authentic self. I am committed to creating the opportunity for you to have a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, inclusive & affirming space to empower your life.

In my work as a therapist, I believe each person’s experience is unique; therefore I take a strengths based and person centered approach to effectively build rapport and trust. My focus is on being approachable, empathetic, non-judgmental, supportive and authentic. Collaboration is imperative and through our work together, I help guide clients and their families to learn techniques and strategies in order to live better quality lives.
