Connect with Attachment-based therapy in Hillsboro, OR

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping clients feel safe, grounded, and supported as they work through difficult experiences. My practice focuses on gentle, evidence-based approaches that empower you to reconnect with your strengths, process what’s been overwhelming, and move toward healing.

People come to therapy because something needs attention—whether a life transition or an ongoing unmet need. My role is to help you identify and attend to that need, creating space for what matters most in your life right now.

Everyone deserves to have a trusted support or guide along life’s journey­­––counseling can be a place to find just that. Counseling can be like a cool drink of water in a desert oasis, helping you rejuvenate and find rest for your soul, while you’re working towards where you want to be.

I will provide a safe place for my clients to explore their struggles and learn new, healthy tools and coping skills. I have experience working with children, foster children, parents, and foster parents, and I am committed to showing all clients they have the strength to work through difficult challenges.

Feeling stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed? If you know something needs to change, I’m here to help. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and life transitions with curiosity and courage. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and the life you want to build.

I’m a clinical social worker deeply committed to serving BIPOC and Alaska Native communities through culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. I currently serve as a clinician in Southeast Alaska. Our work together is about finding your way back to yourself. In each session, we’ll make space for softness, for honesty, for breathing room.

I believe in empowering you to live your best life, including developing nurturing and healthy relationships, self-awareness, confidence, and purpose. I work with people facing depression, anxiety, situational changes, end-of-life concerns, addiction and recovery, and systemic issues like racism, sexism, ageism, and genderism.

Important relationships are not meant to just survive, but to thrive. This happens when there is a strong desire to stop just surviving and to boldly begin the individual and relationship work needed to create a strong synergistic bond. I will walk with you on that journey, helping you reach hidden potential in your life and your relationships.

Welcome. I'm a therapist with over 20 years of counseling experience, which I uniquely integrate with 30 years of astrological insight. I offer a holistic mind-body-spirit approach to help you find peace, clarity, and achieve lasting personal growth.

I have broad experience in the information and communications business and non-profit sectors, and incorporate ideas in my work in psychotherapy with individuals or couples going through challenging moments requiring deep exploration for developing positive and meaningful solutions.

Starting therapy can feel like a huge step, so I congratulate you on starting your journey. I specialize in working with adults navigating life changes, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt with compassion. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel more grounded and connected to yourself and the life you want to create.

Starting therapy can be incredibly difficult and scary. I try to ease that difficulty and discomfort by bringing compassion, authenticity, and curiosity to the therapy space. I help support clients through whatever challenges they are facing to be able to realize the version of themselves they hope to be.

If you understand your patterns but still feel stuck, you’re not alone. I take a relational, collaborative approach to help you make sense of what’s happening and begin shifting it. Together, we’ll find ways forward that feel realistic, grounded, and actually doable.

I help others manage stress, anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, and unexpected losses and transitions. I will help you understand and untangle the effects of past trauma, manage disturbing thoughts and emotions, and find healthy ways to cope or change.

We've all had difficult experiences. These experiences can cause pain and suffering. I believe we can heal from these experiences and grow from them, becoming more of who we truly are and want to be. I have worked with a large range of life circumstances, including anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, LGBT issues, and loss.

Your well-being is my highest priority. I believe meaningful and lasting change begins within a therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, trust, and respect. When you feel heard, understood, and valued, growth becomes possible. My role is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can speak openly and move to your best potential

You might be someone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or impacted by experiences that still don’t quite feel resolved within you. A lot of the girls and women I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, body image struggles, or relationship patterns they don't fully understand.

I use an eclectic approach to treat depression, anxiety, personality disorders, LGBTQIA issues, marriage/couples, and family counseling. I work with therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, the Gottman Method, Attachment Theory, Grief Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Counseling.

Healing trauma and experiencing lasting change is possible. Mindful Therapy & Breathwork focuses on the body and its sensations as the core of therapy. Instead of changing through thought alone, somatic therapy works from the bottom up, connecting with your body's intuition to address emotional, sexual, or relational issues.

I approach counseling as a collaborative relationship in a supportive, safe environment. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, parenting, and women's issues.

My job as a therapist is to help you navigate through the stumbling blocks that are preventing you from having the best quality of life. I am here to listen with empathy, provide coping skills and techniques, support, and resources to help you achieve your goals of a better state of mind or a healthier way of life.
