Self Esteem Therapists in Lake Oswego, OR

As a therapist, I consider it an honor to be a part of my clients journey as they develop insight, create change, and identify goals. Life can bring up challenging and painful situations that can make us feel lost or stuck. It is easy to forget how to cope when faced with challenging circumstances. However, I believe it is in our human nature to be resilient and get back on track with the right support. My goal is to support you and provide you with the tools that you can utilize to create the happy and healthy lifestyle that fits you.

In my practice with individuals and couples, I often use mindfulness-based therapies. Mindfulness has helped a great number of people work through the emotional difficulties that life often presents. Yet I always work in a way that serves my clients best. If you are experiencing emotional distress, I offer you a therapy environment of safety, caring, acceptance, and trust. My goal for all of my clients is to compassionately help them resolve any barriers that are preventing them from living joyfully. I work with any client(s) living in Oregon via a secure teletherapy platform.

Are you feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life? Have you felt trapped in cycles of self-doubt, sadness, worry, frustration, and stress? Do you feel disconnected from others or yourself? My work centers on aligning you with who you know you truly are by rediscovering what is most important to you in life. I’m passionate about guiding others in expressing their most authentic selves while helping them to create lives truly worth living. We all have a unique life story that deserves to be nourished, honored, and shared.

The impact of painful past experiences, relationship problems, and never feeling "good enough" are interfering with your life. You feel broken and like you have to constantly wear a mask so others don’t see you’re struggling. Disconnection and hurt are your norm in many of your relationships. You’ve read self-help books and been to therapy before, but nothing has actually led to the growth and change you’re looking for in your life and relationships. You have a sense that you can have a life with more confidence, stability, and fulfilling relationships, and are thinking it’s time you get some support.
