Welcome. No matter what struggles or paths led you to reach out for support, know that you are welcome here, just as you are. You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change. I help you uncover the way to greater wellbeing and sense of meaningfulness in your life.
Possible topics we can address in counseling include:
· Depression and hopelessness
· Anxiety or chronic stress
· Shame, self-criticism, and other negative self-talk
· Identity issues or inner conflict
· Men’s Issues
· LGBTQIA+ support and identity development
· Adjusting to a disability or chronic illness experienced by yourself or loved ones
· Trauma and abuse
· Grief and Loss
· Increasing self-awareness and self-exploration
During our time together, I will work with you to create a safe and empowering space in which you are free to be yourself, discover blind spots that may be getting in your way, and reclaim ownership of your life and what you want to do with it. You may feel scared, confused, or alone as you consider reaching out for help. But I invite you to learn more about me and get in touch if it feels right. Building a life that is engaging, affirming, and meaningful isn’t easy, but you don’t have to face the challenge alone. I look forward to working with you and being your partner through this journey.
