Therapists in Portland, OR

I specialize in individual and couples therapy for concerns such as anxiety, relational trauma and family of origin issues, self-esteem, and depression, and I offer an emotion-focused approach.

Therapy can offer hope in the midst of depression, anxiety, trauma, stressful challenges in work, relationships, health, or other arenas of life. It can also help us respond thoughtfully and creatively rather than anxiously or destructively. I am a firm believer in learning to be open towards yourself, your relationships, and life transitions. This is a more powerful motivator than mentally beating yourself up. We'll work together to identify strengths you can use towards making important life changes, and to build coping skills to deal with difficult emotions, trust, relationship issues, and negative thoughts you might have about yourself.

I AM CURRENTLY FULL, however am taking referrals from clients and colleagues. TELETHERAPY ONLY (VIDEO SESSIONS) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

I work with people who have struggled with domestic violence, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, PTSD, addiction, problematic drug or alcohol use, depression, shame, men's issues, and working with systems. I help people achieve the freedom and success that they desire.

Let's talk. Let's keep it real and explore the barriers to your optimal health and happiness. We will start where you are and build from there. I have worked in mental health and addictions for many years and I believe that the therapeutic relationship that we build on mutual respect, trust and transparency will be the foundation of your treatment. We will work together to identify your challenges and strengths, and create a plan to support your thriving future.

Your mental health is important! Connecting with family, friends and the world around you can be difficult if you are struggling with worry, extreme sadness, stress or trauma. Counseling can lessen the burden of your daily struggles and foster a healthy life.

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!

My favorite thing to do is support people. Being human can feel difficult and confusing at times. Communication can feel even trickier.

I specialize in transitions, anxiety, depression, sex, couples, parenting, divorce, insecurities, etc. I have a special place in my heart for the perinatal community.

I approach therapy from a practical perspective: part of our work together will be to help you determine what changes you want to make, and get started with some practical actions (yes, homework!). Most of my clients can expect to start seeing improvement within 2-3 sessions, and sometimes even after the first session. My work is collaborative with you, in other words, we are a team toward the goal of finding the wellness within you.

At MindTree we treat the person as a whole, by integrating the healing of mind and Body.

My approach as a therapist is to assist you in creating a felt sense of internal connectedness and strength, as well as connectedness to others, and to help reauthor narratives that help you feel embodied and authentic. I work primarily with queer, trans, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous individuals and couples. My work often focuses on healing trauma, gender identity exploration, navigating the intricacies of polycules or exploring non-monogamy, finding empowerment/healing through sex therapy, and how to find space for joy and connection while living under systemic oppression.

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.

When working with clients I prioritize the therapeutic relationship. We become a team working toward your goals, and I place significant value on honesty, authenticity, humor, compassion, validation, and accountability into our work together. Since starting my counseling practice I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing various challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, gender dysphoria, grief, interpersonal issues, life transitions, adoption, self-esteem, bipolar II disorder, and more.

Hello, I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families I specialize in treating anxiety and depression. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I also enjoy working with teenage and younger clients. I see many people who are going through life transitions. When one is going through grief and loss, education challenges, relationship difficulties, a new family member, pain or illness, it can be particularly difficult to cope and particularly beneficial to be in therapy to work through these issues with an unbiased ear.
