Welcome
I want to welcome you and thank you for considering my services. The realization that you are stuck and something is not working can create a sincere feeling of powerlessness and frustration. The process of choosing a therapist can feel intimidating and overwhelming. The choice to seek out assistance and work through your distressful situations takes incredible strength. I admire you for it!
Personal interactions are not always easy. Many people have areas of life that trip them up and cause frustration. Most people, including myself, have situations that make us feel baffled, inferior. We all have times that we feel misunderstood and disconnected. It's not uncommon to experience difficulty communicating how we truly feel or what we think. In relationships, our best intention of sharing our feelings sometimes ends up hurting others or we fear being invalidated or rejected in some way.
I am an integrative psychotherapist. My style is best described as attachment-focused psychotherapy. I'm interactive with my clients. I actively seek to understand your situation from your viewpoint. I have spent 7 years developing my own attachment-based model of psychotherapy. It brings amorphous psychological concepts into relevant understandable ideas. This helps my clients to engage in deeper, more meaningful self-exploration, and facilitates lasting changes in all relationships whether they be business, personal, or within families.
Together, we will explore whatever is troubling you and causing you to feel stuck. We will uncover the obstacles impeding your progress. We will discover and implement new strategies that will bring you peace of mind as well as empower you to communicate your thoughts and feelings honestly, without the fear of rejection.
If, by chance, I'm unable to meet your needs, I encourage you to continue your search for a therapist that is the right fit by visiting Wise Counsel & Comfort in Portland.
