Cascade Centers EAP Therapists in Portland, OR

New Clients Welcome! Short-term, solution-focused coaching and psychotherapy. After nearly 20 years of providing therapeutic services in a wide range of settings, my clients have taught me that transformation and change can happen...even in a single-session! I love working with people who are striving to actualize their vision for fulfillment in all aspects of their lives. Our work together will likely include both levity and depth, will offer you tools for re-alignment and reconnection with your "authentic self," & will support the change you are looking for in your precious life!

Do you have a desire to heal from change, grief/loss, trauma or suffering and wish to find meaning in your life? Are you hoping to find joy and passion through creativity? I believe that we have the potential to improve quality of life through healing and finding meaning. If you are seeking transformative ways of coping with life stressors, identifying and expressing emotions, developing self-awareness, self esteem and personal growth, I'm here to support you.

We all have moments of change in our lives that take us through ups and downs. Sometimes we can get stuck in understanding what is happening and knowing how to move forward. Living with challenging transitions is one of those moments when having someone to talk to, who truly understands from personal experience, makes the difference. I am a licensed counselor who through a social justice lens, will listen to all your frustrations with loved ones, friends, co-workers, and our misinformed society.

It's my privilege to work as a Mental Health Counselor. I offer a safe, non judgmental, place where people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I have expertise addressing relationship conflicts, child/parent struggles, separation/divorce, substance abuse, and codependency issues. When we are suffering and in need of counseling we sometimes endure a great deal before we recognize there is a problem that needs to be addressed. If you find yourself struggling in any one of these areas call me to help you find the joy in everyday life.

Are you a woman who suffers from anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma related symptoms? I work with individuals who can benefit from the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address mental health symptoms. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy approach that aims to alleviate distress associated with traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, burnout and so much more. Additionally, EMDR allows you to regain a sense of control in your life and can enable you to release the grip of past traumas and move towards a more adaptive and resilient future.

Dear Potential Client! Have you lost someone and can't seem to move on? Do you find that unresolved abuse issues still bother you and get in the way of daily functioning? Are you not able to create the intimacy and closeness you desire in relationships and find yourself repeating the same patterns that you know don't work? Is your confidence level not where you want it to be? Do you and your partner struggle with how to best parent? Is anxiety and depression causing you to isolate, worry a lot, lose sleep, feel hopeless? I can help!

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a professional to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a Psychotherapist in the greater Portland metro area, and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change.

Are you getting what you want out of life? I help my clients identify and let go of negative feelings, old behavior patterns, and ways of thinking that prevent them from living the life they want. Counseling can help you experience the joy of self-acceptance and the peace of mind that comes with healthy self-esteem. In the process, you can create stronger relationships, improve your communication with others, and see new possibilities for your life.

I AM NOT PRESENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS. In therapy, I work to develop a relationship where you can both specifically explore the issues that have brought you to therapy- depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, lack of purpose, trauma, drug and alcohol issues-- and your life, in general. This atmosphere allows you to gain more self-knowledge and self-acceptance as well as to see fresh perspectives on your troubles and desires. You can then begin to find a way through some necessary changes. An important aspect of my therapy approach is encouraging clients to take steps to live life in more alignment with who they are.

I work together with my clients toward more self-compassion, awareness, and understanding. These bring about lasting positive change. I treat a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addictions, interpersonal issues (i.e. couples counseling), psycho-spiritual/religious conflicts and abuse, sexuality, and pragmatic life-coaching, to name a few. I have extensive experience working with the LGBT community, some "out," others not; some religious, others not. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT) when indicated, coupled with mindfulness techniques. I also explore with my clients deeper-seated issues, including exploring our "shadows" and the roots of addiction and shame. I serve adolescents and adults.

Feeling anxious or overwhelmed with life? Need someone to turn to for relief, someone who can walk beside you through difficult situations and help with new ways to cope for a better experience in life and in your relationships. I am here to support you and help you safely explore aspects of your life and emotions. I receive clinical supervision from Lakeetra Catchings LPC

My Practice Is Available For New Clients Immediately believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. A person's mental health and many common mental disorders are shaped by various social, economic, and physical environments operating at different stages of life. Good mental health is integral to human health and well-being. Risk factors for many common mental disorders are heavily associated with social inequalities. I don't discriminate against anyone, and I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).

The common misconception is that therapy is for "crazy" or "sick" people. Instead I believe it is a chance to work with clients on how to use their challenges as opportunities for change and growth. It is also a time to better understand our view of the world, examine any relationship issues, and become better versions of ourselves. I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.
