Connect with Compassion Focused therapy in Tigard, OR

I am thrilled you decided to begin therapy. Asking for help can sometimes feel overwhelming, and unfortunately, many of us walk around waiting for outside circumstances to change--all the while forgetting we hold the key to change how we think, feel, and behave. Together, my hope is to help you identify and motivate you to achieve your goals.

I believe we all can benefit from therapy at various life stages. I'm passionate about supporting your journey to self-compassion and self-knowledge. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I enjoy helping people find their joy and their own path.

My treatment philosophy centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship and rapport. This foundation allows me to effectively address your individual needs and support you in achieving your personal goals. Recognizing that every journey is unique, I tailor my approach to what is most effective for each individual.

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.

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 work with young adults and adults navigating stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I offer a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel understood while building practical tools to feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your life.

I'm passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with kids, teens, adults, couples, and families, and I believe that with the right support, we all have the ability to grow and heal. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to make sense of things, I'm here to walk alongside you.

I approach each therapy room with an open mind. I like to listen to the client's needs and goals in order to help me create a treatment plan that works for them. Each treatment plan is individualized to each client.

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.

While I enjoy working with a variety of populations, I am especially passionate about supporting individuals facing dual diagnoses. My goal is to provide a safe, structured environment where clients can navigate challenges, gain insight, and work toward meaningful recovery.

Feel that life is a bit too complex and overwhelming? You are not alone, and as your clinician, I bring a personal approach with insight into root patterns over time that may be keeping you stuck. My authentic/consistent style provides an easy transition into counseling, and I will consider your whole self (mind, body, and spirit/core) for change.

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 focus on helping people navigate life's transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you're working through stress, relationships, or personal growth, I guide you in building healthy strategies so you can thrive. I am here to help support you and your goals.

Sometimes, knowing how to move forward is the hardest part, and engaging in therapy can be a difficult first step towards change. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to express yourself, improve your insight, address struggles, process difficult experiences, and grow as an individual.

My priority is understanding your therapy goals so we can create a roadmap together. My approach relies on attachment theory—the interpersonal frameworks we've internalized shape how we navigate relationships with ourselves and others. I integrate tangible practices including self-compassion, coping strategies, and daily self-nurturing.

Whatever you are facing, change can begin today. At Petya Wellness, I use simple solutions to help you find a life that is connected and fulfilled. My goal is to offer a supportive environment where you can fully express yourself, gain insight, and take steps toward personal growth.

I'm a listener. I would love to hear your story because your story is unique in the world. No one has your history, strengths, talents, or challenges.

I have been doing therapy for eight years. I specialize in children and adolescents, trauma, depression, anxiety, relational stress, substance abuse, and abandonment issues.

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 believe every child deserves to feel seen, understood, and empowered, and that every caregiver deserves to feel supported in their role. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where we can work together to build confidence, cope with feelings, and create lasting growth.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist and counselor with a commitment to developing the strengths and possibilities within each client that I work with. I believe in providing relief from immediate suffering while also helping individuals with honoring and advancing their own goals. I also believe in the uniqueness of each person.

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 enjoy spending time with my dog, cats, and chickens. My kids are adults, but I try to spend as much time with them as possible.
