Hey. I’m glad you made your way here.
offering individual and couples therapy for high achieving folks
with histories of childhood trauma and/or ADHD
based in Portland (not currently “war torn”), Oregon - telehealth throughout Oregon and Washington
Individual Counseling:
Like most of my clients, you look around and your life seems put together - you have a great job, you have a solid, longer term relationship, you’re involved in your kids’ school or volunteer a bunch in the community or are the go to friend always ready for anything.
Externally? Everything looks pretty great….
… but internally? Maybe you don’t feel as in control of your thoughts, feelings or reactions as you think you should feel. You have BIG feelings that you’re not sure what to do with. Your marriage isn’t a place of refuge, it’s just more work. You talk to friends, but they don’t seem to get it or they offer LOTS of advice that doesn’t take into account the other stuff.
You know… the stuff you’re not sure you want to tell anyone?
Maybe it’s about what your childhood was really like.
Or how busy your brain really feels.
How much effort goes into every day just trying to show up and not scream.
And I get it - sometimes you feel desperate but also mad at yourself for even feeling upset, because you are tough enough to handle everything without help.
Well, yeah. Of course you are. But you don’t have to.
I can help you understand how to feel more grounded and calm every day.

Couples Counseling
You’ve had the talks. You’ve tried "date nights”. You may have even tried counseling or a workbook before, but nothing seems to account for the way that you or your partner’s brain is different. You know you should have compassion but you’re feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood and you need help to either reconnect or call it quits before you really end up hating each other.
Together, we’ll work out the story of your relationship- where it started, where you’re at now and where you’re going. We’ll get radically honest about what each of you need and who you are. At the end, you’ll find depths of compassion you didn’t know you had - for your partner, yes, but also for yourself.
Consultation & Supervision
Ready to Transform Your Work?
You know that you don’t want to “just” do therapy/social work, you want to
do work that changes the world,
but you’re not sure how to talk about politics, values or social justice without being unethical or sounding like an ass.
Let’s figure it out together.
