Do you lose your temper more than you want to—or shut down and keep it all in? Maybe you're carrying pressure that’s building up: stress, frustration, overthinking, or anger that won’t go away. It might be straining your relationships or turning inward as burnout, guilt, or self-blame. You may feel stuck—trapped in a draining job, repeating the same fights, or weighed down by past pain. Whether it's distance in your marriage, pressure to be someone you're not, or just feeling like you're not in control anymore—you're not alone. There’s a way forward. Counseling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what you're going through and find a way forward. It’s a place to untangle difficult questions, process pain, and begin healing—without fear of judgment or rejection. Through this work, you can gain new perspective, learn healthier tools, and uncover strengths you didn’t know you had. My approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, non-judgmental space for individuals in the Portland, OR area. I integrate evidence-based methods like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples in Portland and nearby areas
