Family Systems Therapists in Beaverton, OR

I'm a licensed clinical social worker in the Beaverton area offering counseling services to individuals, couples and families. My therapeutic style is direct and interactive as I help clients overcome difficulties they may be experiencing in life and relationships.

There are many reasons to pursue therapy. Whether you are seeking counseling for the first time or contemplating starting again with a new therapist, you are taking an important step towards self-care and personal growth. Life brings us hardships, transitions, and life altering events which leave us questioning ourselves, decisions, or the people around us. During these seasons it can be helpful to have a skilled partner. Someone who sees, listens, and affirms you as you walk through life's challenges. It is my privilege to hear your story and help you tap into your inner strength, sense of self, and provide support.

I wholeheartedly believe people have the ability to create an authentic and meaningful life worth living. I'd love to work with you to create balance in your life, clarify your values, and identify unhelpful thinking patterns that are connected to your emotions and behaviors. I have a collaborative, strengths-based approach and create a safe space to evaluate the narrative of your life, support you in making edits, and in assigning meaning to your experiences. Whether you are going through a new life transition or have felt like life has been happening to you for a long time, I'd be honored to support you on the path to wholeness.

With common stressors today leading individuals feeling isolated more than ever, I’m determined to help you find active solutions for those problems where breathing exercises just don’t do the trick anymore. I enjoy assisting individuals who have not found success with conventional treatment methods, and I use a holistic approach to consider root causes of your struggles that may not have been previously explored.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive experience treating a variety of concerns including eating disorders, grief, trauma, relationship issues, mood and anxiety disorders. I am a couples' counselor, and I am a Christian. In my practice I teach mindfulness, improving communication, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, coping with stress and life transitions, improving your sense of well-being. I work with teens, adults, couples and groups.

Psychotherapy is not just a matter of skills and techniques. Healing occurs when, in a safe environment, you can speak and hear your own voice, tell your own story, and find someone really listening to you. When you feel heard, new insights can emerge. Anxiety, depression, worry, or conflicts constrict your experience and personal relationships. A therapeutic relationship can provide an opportunity to be accompanied as you express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. You become more open, able to make new choices. Your more authentic self can emerge as your inner landscape changes. I am interested in hearing and seeing you, as you are.

I am accepting new clients. Often we seek counseling when we’re not feeling like ourselves. Many people can struggle with the gap between logical knowing, “I know I’m a good person” and emotional experience, “But I don’t feel like I am”. A primary focus of my approach is to close that gap and integrate outdated beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. I work well with folks who have a foundational understanding of therapy or who have gotten stuck in the talk therapy circuit. I practice Internal Family Systems (IFS), AKA “Parts work”. This process creates more self-leadership, more self-compassion, and deepens clarity.

Now Accepting New Clients! You are taking the time to make mental health a priority, and that is something to be proud of. I look forward to walking beside you while you navigate life while working towards your goals and aspirations. I think about your problems from a holistic perspective because I believe that everyone contributes to the problem. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming roadblocks along the way.

Welcome! I provide support, compassion, and expertise to guide you in the process of self awareness. I provide a warm environment that encourages you to realize your full potential. I believe we all have the capability to create the life we want to live. I will help you discover what blocks your life's development. Counseling is an evolving process, which does not happen along the same path for each individual. However, most clients strive for the same thing, "to be happy." I work in a collaborative, strength's based fashion to help you improve your life and your relationships. Life truly can be Content.

Brene Brown states, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." Have you experienced painful moments in your relationships either early in life or later? Whether they are big traumas or small ones, they all can keep people from living their best life. Do you struggle to set boundaries with loved ones? What about creating a deeper connection with your partner? I believe that my clients come with so many of their own answers inside of them.
