Have you been feeling stuck and are ready to create the changes you’ve been wanting?

Does it feel like something is missing and you want to experience more vitality or excitement for life?

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, self criticism or deep self doubt? 

Are you looking to feel better about yourself and the life you are creating?

Have you been wanting more connection in your relationships, friendships, family or work life and are unsure of how to create that?

I can help you challenge some of the long held beliefs that you have had about yourself that get in the way of you creating the fulfilling life you want to live. We can identify you inner strengths and wisdom that will allow you to face the places inside of you that have been painful to hold alone.  I will support your growth of insight that will help you heal and create changes in how you respond to yourself and your relationships. You can learn what you need to heal, grow, and thrive in order to live a more intentional, mindful and joyful life.

Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill?

Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night?

Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away?

Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?

Couples often begin therapy from a place of conflict and disconnection.  We can enhance the connection between you by shifting how you respond to yourselves and each other.

You’ll gain a better understanding of how to communicate your feelings and needs in order to feel seen, heard and understood.

We can develop the tools you need to face life’s challenges while building on the strengths in the relationship to create a more connected, intentional and joyful life together.

Queer Affirming, Informed Therapy for LGBTQ+ Individuals and Couples

Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box? 

Have you been to other supposed “LGBTQ+ friendly” therapists who had no idea what you were talking about? 

Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals? 

Are you seeking transition and need a letter for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or surgery? 

Maybe you’re seeking relationship therapy from someone who truly understands where you’re coming from?

Seeking therapy is a vulnerable process for everyone.  When you exist outside the heteronormative-cisgendered box, it can be challenging to find a therapist who is informed and affirming.

Here you will be fully celebrated.  You will be free to do the work of therapy, to heal, grow and to thrive in a safe space.  You will be accepted, respected and wholly welcomed

I am currently offering teletherapy for both individuals and couples. COVID-19 paved the way for virtual therapy, giving you the ability to benefit from safe, secure therapy no matter where you are in the State of Oregon. From your couch at home, to sitting in your car on your lunch break, or hiking Mt. Hood, if you have a device that connects to a camera and microphone and have an internet connection, we can meet. I have found teletherapy to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Most of my clients appreciate the ease of having their session wherever they choose.

All virtual sessions are safe, secure, and HIPAA compliant. The only difference between a traditional therapy session and a virtual therapy session is the ease with which your virtual session is accessed. I will return to in-person therapy for those that choose once it is safer to do so.
