Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

I firmly believe that the family is the foundation for all positive culture and society. If the married couple remains strong, the family will most likely be healthy, thus avoiding many troubles caused by separation or divorce. I long to help families become strong and healthy so that the children may feel secure and confident at home. I desire to work with children, teens, individuals, and couples on a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, Multicultural/Identity issues, infertility, marital concerns, adjustment to life transitions, parenting skills, as well as spiritual concerns.

It can be easy to fall into the habit of not prioritizing ourselves. Therapy can be a great way to provide space for us to get honest with ourselves and to explore our thoughts and emotions more intentionally. My clients are those who are open and motivated to explore insights and to become closer aligned with their authentic self and values. As a proud child of immigrants who values diversity, I hope for my practice to be a safe space for all with the inclusion of every ethnicity, race, religion, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression.

I help people living with depression, self-identity struggles, grief, trauma and have experience working within LGBTQIA+ and ethical non-monogamous communities. The children I see have/are experiencing abuse, behavior concerns, and life stressors. My role as a therapist is to offer authentic and genuine reflections and to help strengthen your mental capacity and confidence to handle internal and external stressors. I believe we all have a story to tell, some intertwined with tragedy and challenges, and that our time together is for you to tell yours. Note: I don't work with insurance companies; only out of pocket.

Honestly, relationships are at the core of who we are. Whether it’s your relationship with yourself, your partner, your children, or your friends... when these bonds are healthy, they help you thrive and heal many wounds. But sometimes conflict can get in the way of what you want for your life and relationships. That may be trauma, beliefs that hurt instead of help, new mental health symptoms, or behaviors that aren’t working for you - most of these stem from some kind of relationship. My role is to come alongside you and help you learn new ways to understand and relate to these struggles.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is dedicated to providing my clients with ethical, professional and confidential services. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in determining successful outcomes in treatment. This involves the client feeling safe and trusting of the therapist while he/she explores emotional vulnerabilities and painful thought processes. My hope is that you will experience me as someone who actively listens to you and works with you to develop effective problem-solving strategies. My approach to therapy is respectful, honest, client-centered and strengths based.

Are you feeling stuck? Anxiety and stress can overwhelm our ability to cope and negatively affect our well being, relationships, decision making, sleep and even our self esteem. As an anxiety and stress expert, I teach boundaries, coping and communication skills to improve work/life balance, relationship satisfaction and resilience. My therapeutic style is empathic, empowering and direct, with a good dose of humor. I am also a Certified Professional Coach, so I will give you a nudge and hold you accountable when you need it! A Christian perspective is offered for those who are seeking a spiritual approach to personal growth.

My biggest passion is working with parents and families in meeting the needs of their children, especially children who struggle with managing their emotions or anxiety. Most of the time, kids under the age of 12 really need their parents' involvement in order for therapy to be successful. I offer a combination of parent support and coaching, with teaching you and your child strategies to manage big emotions in the most effective way possible - together.
