Multicultural therapists in Oregon

The fact that you are reading this page means that you are taking the courageous step of seeking a healthier way of living - that alone is something to be commended and celebrated. I have broad experience helping individuals struggling with issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, and substance use issues. I also have extensive experience working with individuals from different racial, ethnic, socioeconomic backgrounds as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach to therapy is eclectic, insight oriented, existential, and tailored to your specific needs. I consider it essential to explore the aspects of life that you find meaningful in order to build coping skills, behavioral strategies, and cognitive approaches that help you live in a way that you find rewarding and fulfilling. I seek to engage my clients at their level of readiness in order to create a therapeutic experience that is supportive, goal-directed, empowering, and appropriately challenging. I find great meaning and enjoyment in my work and feel a profound sense of gratitude in being able to help individuals struggling with mental health issues. I would be thrilled to accompany and support you in your journey of personal growth and development.
