Welcome
Choosing someone to talk to about your innermost struggles and fears is not an easy task. Trusting someone with your and your family’s welfare is a very important decision, so I appreciate that you are considering me as your therapist.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist committed to inspiring people to improve their health and mental well-being. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to tell their stories and to rebuild themselves and their relationships.
It is my belief that you have within you the necessary strength and resilience to make the changes you desire. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you and guide you in your journey to become the person you wish to be.
Individual
You may be seeking support for any number of reasons such as depression, workplace stress, grief and loss, shame, trauma, anxiety, loneliness, clarity around transitions, addictions, or any number of other issues that befall us as perfectly imperfect human beings.
Every human being deserves a safe, confidential place they can go to where they needn’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured in any way. I aim for my office to be such a sanctuary that can hold the hopes and aspirations for your life. Individual counseling is always based upon your unique goals, needs, and challenges.
I believe therapy can help you heal, grow, and learn new ways of thinking and feeling about yourself and the world.
Couples
Sometimes we have past experiences that scare us, make us more wary, or cause us to feel insecure, and those experiences can prevent us from having fulfilling partnerships. Emotionally focused therapy helps slow down that pattern between yourself and your partner(s) to increase understanding, and also increase the feeling of connection and safety.
I work with couples that suffer from emotional disconnection, frequent or escalated fighting, avoidance, grief, addictive behaviors, infidelity, and difficulties being physically intimate. Couples therapy can allow partners to have important conversations about how they envision their relationship while gaining more clarity about each one's individual and relational needs.
I am a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT CST) and currently belong to the Portland EFT community. I have extensive training in sex therapy and offer sex therapy to both individuals and couples.
Addiction
Thinking about making changes in your life and wondering what those changes might look like? We can explore what it would mean for you to live without the derailing behaviors and substances in your life. There is more than one way to make lasting change and any plan created will be made with you and be unique to you as an individual.
