Therapists in Clackamas County, OR

If you are a parent looking for help for your young or adolescent child, I might be the person to help. If your child is struggling, working with me will help them overcome obstacles, build confidence and boost self esteem. I can help with anger management and anxiety issues, and trouble with focus. Children and youth benefit from my practical, supportive approach. In cases where children and adolescents have been affected by abuse, trauma, and sexually reactive behaviors, I am able to meet them where they are, and support their healthy development. I am an empathetic partner and guide to their process of healing and growth.

I have over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, parental and family separation, adoption, and complex trauma, among other issues. My experience comes from working in county mental health systems, non-profit systems, and private practice. I have experience working with adolescents experiencing depression and anxiety, complex trauma, conduct disorder, separation from family, adoption, and involvement in the juvenile system. I have worked with adults suffering from addiction to substances, complex trauma, partner/family issues, abuse, domestic violence, depression, and anxiety.

Most of my clients come to me in the midst of some sort of transition--a difficult relationship, a new job, divorce, retirement, a move, etc.--that they are unable to navigate alone. I also see many persons confronting cancer, chronic pain or a crisis of faith. When we first meet, we will explore what brings you into therapy at this time. We will create a plan together to achieve the outcome you would like best. Many times, I find that transitions involve a certain amount of loss and grief that has not yet been acknowledged. Our goal would be to fit this transition, or life condition, large or small, into your overall life journey.

As a therapist, I seek to create a therapeutic environment that embodies curiosity, trust, and mutual respect. I bring curiosity and a desire to understand my clients within the contexts they live in. By sharing curiosity around how personal, familial, and societal narratives influence the day-to-day lives of my clients, I strive to join with my clients as they intentionally step-aside from patterns of behavior that no longer serve them.

Losing someone you love is full of contradictory and upsetting emotions. In one day you may be feeling overwhelmed with sadness and then overwhelmed with disbelief that this is your new reality. I am here to support you through the confusion and pain of your grief. Together we will find tools to help you cope and heal from your loss and help you find hope again.

I create a comfortable environment in my office where people feel safe to share. It is my belief that each of us is unique in our histories and in the strengths that we bring to a situation. Part of the experience of therapy is to identify the strengths and successes we have had in our lives and to discover how these things can impact the current concerns we are facing. Often through the experience of talking with a therapist people are able to figure out how to take the steps that will make their life situation and relationships work better.

As a mental health therapist, and clinic director at Senua Counseling Clinic, I work from a client centered, integrative approach. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client centered treatment, and solution focused therapy. I also believe that we need to work together, as a team, to help you achieve your goals. The body and mind are greatly connected and intertwined, which is why I believe in a holistic approach to mental health care. I am happy and honored to provide you with a non-judgmental, safe space for you to tell your story, set your goals, and become the person you were meant to be.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients who are motivated to grow and heal. I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you. I have a passion for this work and supporting clients who are ready to move through their trauma and find joy. Some areas of focus that I am drawn to are childhood trauma and inner child work, gender and sexuality related issues, co-occurring disorders, depression, and stress related disorders. I have a heart in working with postpartum and infertility struggles because I understand the isolation and loneliness that come with trauma/loss during this time.

As a therapist, my goal in therapy is to help you identify changes you want to make and create a path together to make those changes that lead you to “out-grow” therapy.

I have extensive experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings with strong therapeutic, crisis intervention and educational skills that lead to decreasing negative symptoms and increasing productivity and feeling better.
