Issues I Treat
Specialties
-
Anxiety
Politics and Covid and wildfires and social/racial reckonings are just a few of the macro-level issues we're all dealing with on top of our own individual life-stresses and anxieties. The human condition has only gotten more complex in today's world (to say nothing of Social Media) and working together to process the ways anxiety can be helped and balanced can be one of the most helpful components of therapy .
-
Depression
Depression sucks. Therapy helps. Here in Portland we experience stretches of bleak and grey that can seem endless. By working together we can help you get out of that feeling of being stuck in a rut, overwhelmed by life, or just plain sad.
-
Relationship / Marriage Issues
Relationships are hard. Relationships are also a fundamental part of being human. Together in our therapeutic relationship we can explore this tricky conundrum of building and maintaining your relationships with family and friends and co-workers and romantic partners. This can be some of the most rewarding and healing work in all of therapy!
-
Self-Esteem
Self-esteem impacts almost every nook and cranny of our lives. Our self-confidence level determines so many things about how we live our lives and therapy can truly help us to build and maintain our sense of self in a world that sometimes seems bent on tearing us down. Everyone has great worth and therapy can be a good way to build that reminder into our cores!

Loss or Grief
Loss and grief go hand in hand and are happening in our lives constantly in ways big and small. Having a space to process grief can be immensely helpful and that is one thing I would love to help you with!
