THERAPY IN OREGON
A place to live authentically.
Integrative Counseling and EMDR for adults and adolescents in Portland, Oregon
Do you feel like you don’t know where you’re headed?
You feel stuck. You’ve done everything you “should” be doing but your life isn’t unfolding in the way that you hoped it would. You feel unmotivated, disengaged from life, unsatisfied, uninspired and inhibited. You’re not sure exactly why you feel this way. To complicate things further, you beat yourself up for not feeling the way that you think you should.
You want to have better relationships, but you’re stuck in unsatisfying patterns that you don’t know how to change.
Maybe you secretly think that something is wrong with you, or that you’re a bad person.
Perhaps you’re doing ok, but you sense that you could be doing better.
You want to dig deep and learn more about yourself.
You’ve been through some aversive experiences. You’re pretty tough but lately you’re not bouncing back the way you used to.
You’re in the right place
I believe that when we feel stuck, sometimes we just need to shift our perspective. We’re capable of making this shift, but we can’t always make it alone. Sometimes we need non-judgmental support from another human. When you work with me, you will be met with respect, curiosity, warmth and humor.
Resolving Trauma
Perhaps you feel stuck in your pain despite making every effort to leave the past in the past. Learn how to approach painful memories with curiosity and to cultivate an adaptive perspective, so that you can take control of your life story.
Releasing Self Criticism
If you feel attached to self-criticism or perfectionism, it may end up grinding you down and holding you back. Learn self compassion and dismantle the habit of excessive self criticism.
Finding Meaning
Maybe you feel hung up trying to understand the reason for things that seem cruel and pointless in this world. Let’s work together to change perspective and make sense of the world in a different way.
