I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

I work with adults who are navigating trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, self esteem issues, or, not uncommonly, a combination of the listed. My passion is to empower individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves by walking folks through their past wounds and current limitations that keep us from being grounded. I also work within other ranges such as inner child work, attachment styles, childhood trauma, generational trauma, spirituality, and the LGBTQIA community+. I am also passionate about working with fellow therapists through Clinical Supervision or counseling as I focus on imposter syndrome and integration of self.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with dual degrees in Educational and Clinical Psychology. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, OCD, life transitions or crises, and family or parent–child relationship issues.

I provide therapy in both English and Russian, with deep understanding of the Russian-speaking culture and its unique family dynamics.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are struggling with major life transitions, grief, and managing chronic conditions.

I have 31 years of experience working in inpatient, outpatient, academic, and community counseling settings. My work has focused on trauma (PTSD), SUD, and how they affect relationships within individuals, couples, and families.

My approach is holistic, using both Eastern and Western philosophies and a solution-oriented approach.

You might be struggling with conditions like anxiety, depression, grief or addictions. I get it; many of us face unprecedented pressures and stressors today. I know how important it is for you to have open, genuine conversations where you feel truly heard and understood. After completing my MSW degree at the University of Kansas, I began practicing and have been licensed for 23 years. I have advanced training in Mindful Self Compassion therapy.

I understand grief, addiction and general overload from personal experience. Having navigated many difficult issues, it is my pleasure to help others navigate their own struggles. I offer online appointments throughout the week and in person appointments in Beaverton on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I look forward to working with you for solutions.

I am one of the most open-minded, non-judgmental people you will ever work with. I am curious about you, your life, and what brought you to therapy. I have worked with a wide range of clients from adults in custody with substance use disorders to vulnerable populations with serious mental illness. I have worked with adult clients all over the world amassing a wealth of knowledge. I am also addicted to learning and continually train on techniques that will help my clients.

I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I did my own work first — after years in a career that looked fine from the outside and felt hollow on the inside, something finally clicked. I live with ADHD and ASD myself, and I'll be direct: it makes me better at this. I'm wired to hold fine details and the big picture simultaneously, connect patterns across a history, and notice what other providers might miss. I work especially well with children and adolescents (ages 6+), perinatal and antepartum folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are AFAB or identify as women — many navigating ADHD, autism, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, mood disorders, or a diagnosis that never quite fit. If previous providers didn't get the full picture of you, that's exactly the gap I'm here to close.

I have been working in mental health and related fields for 8 years. I started working with teens with ADHD, Autism, intellectual and developmental disorders in schools. I worked with youth who survived trauma for a year before moving to a hybrid program where I've worked with adults and youth from diverse populations including veterans.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am honest, direct, and passionate about helping people connect to their values and make positive change in their lives.

I believe that our environment, our physical health, and our mental health are intimately linked. I take a whole person approach to counseling where we will address multiple aspects of your health and functioning in order to improve your mental health. An important part of my approach is helping you to broaden your awareness and build insight into how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and may be keeping you stuck in unhealthy cycles. I also work with my clients on values identification to help guide us in developing practical steps to get you unstuck and moving forward in life in a meaningful way. My main treatment modalities are cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

I have experience working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient clinical settings and I have a special interest in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, mood disorders, sport/performance and general life difficulties (relationship conflict, job/career changes, managing stress).
