Hello. My name is Miles and my heart is devoted to working with individuals, couples, and communities to feel more fully connected to a life of richness and authenticity. I maintain the relational and systemic perspective that problems exist between people, rather than within people. My clients tend to be folks from all walks of life who are interested in taking a holistic approach towards being in a healthier relationship with their wounds for the sake of greater response-ability and belonging.

My goal is to support the whole person in their desire to identify strengths, address their struggles, and to encourage growth. My relational approach includes helping create a safe place in which you feel like you can start the change process. Issues range from impulsivity, anxiety, emotional regulation, unhealthy coping tools, and difficulties working through trauma. I can assist this process with creating genuine connections to begin addressing emotional regulation tactics, stress reduction, psychoeducation of trauma and the brain, and cognitive restructuring.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive counseling/psychotherapy. I work with individuals both long and short term. Wanting to understand why adverse or difficult things happen to us is natural. When one can contribute a sense of meaning to a difficult situation the power of the problem is often integrated and diminishes. Therapy is a process that can help an individual find the transformational quality in their adverse experiences and become empowered, instead of overwhelmed by them.

Many people struggle with asking for help. The fact that you are here shows your strength and resilience. Therapy gold star for you and we haven't even started yet! I imagine you are here because something is not working; perhaps it's past or current trauma, substance use, family relationships, mental health, sexuality, work stress, life transitions, all of these-or something else. What is important is you are looking for someone to meet you where you are, extend out their hand and say; "I'm here, and I will walk along this path with you in the way you need. You are safe." I would be honored to be that person in your process.

Your history and your goals for treatment are the most important parts of whatever kind of psychological services you engage in, and because of this, our work will begin with a careful and collaborative conversation about your situation and your narrative. This will culminate in a thoughtful discussion of treatment goals. You will find that I am an active participant in the work we do together, providing feedback and encouragement as you interact with new ways of approaching your self and your daily life.

I enjoy supporting people who are experiencing various challenges, including grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. We often feel terrified to face our own emotional pain and get to know the parts of ourselves that are feeling helpless, hopeless, or disempowered. I believe that each of us has everything we need within ourselves to find healing and growth. It is my job to support you to connect to yourself and find that path within you. I utilize various techniques to help you cope with (and feel) difficult emotions, connect to your mind and body, and understand the impact of your past and present.

The thought of therapy can be confusing and maybe even a little intimidating. That’s why the root of therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist! No framework can replace the importance of a safe and collaborative relationship between a client and therapist. Together, we’ll foster an environment where you can rediscover your resilience, process your lived experiences, and work towards your goals. My true passion is working with couples and families as they navigate life’s challenges together. I specialize in supporting interracial and multicultural couples with communication and multicultural issues.

I work with a variety of issues- trauma, attachment issues, sexual challenges, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, LGBTQ+, and more. With individuals, I draw primarily on AEDP and ISTDP- two compassionate, deep, and relational psychodynamic approaches designed to create lasting change. I am actively receiving training in both, along with consultations in order to provide high quality therapy to all my clients. I work with couples and have done training in Emotional Focused Therapy for Couples and sex therapy (ATSIP Level 1). I am currently doing trainings in ISTDP for Couples and in the Developmental Model.

Are you grappling with significant life changes like loss, relationship challenges, or personal identity shifts that have triggered overwhelming emotions such as anxiety, fear, guilt, or anger? Despite trying various approaches like confiding in friends, staying active, or turning to unhealthy habits, you may still feel adrift, seeking a clear path forward. The idea of therapy may evoke vulnerability, especially if past experiences have left you disheartened. Embarking on therapy can be daunting, yet pivotal. My person-centered approach aims to help you not only accept yourself but also transform how you navigate stressors.

Hello! I am not currently accepting new clients, but am happy to put you on my waitlist. Please reach out for a free 20 minute consultation! I see people as unique and relational beings whose stories have been formed by the society they live in, the families they were raised by, and the stories they believe about themselves formed from their life experiences. I believe that the re-telling of these stories, and the language people use, form the realities people experience. I believe building strong and healthy relationships provides the support and community everyone needs.

Sometimes the act of verbalizing our experiences can be very challenging. Art can be a great way to begin the therapeutic process and to further explore the unseen and unsaid aspects of our lives. My approach focuses primarily on the combination of art therapy and internal family systems therapy, to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of their different parts and how those parts show up in the world. I try to be very collaborative and transparent with my clients to create a more equal dynamic in our sessions.

Our work together involves tending to the root of imbalance, alchemizing pain into medicine, and re-orienting artistic creation and mothers as the center of life. As a relational, intuitive, and earth-centered practitioner, I believe reality can be imagined, gestated, and birthed anew. We can meet in my office in Portland, our local forests, or virtually. May we remember healing is belonging within the village of our hearts, our communities, and our planet.
