Your Path to Happiness: Experienced Psychologists in Portland, OR

Welcome to a holistic approach to mental health. As both a licensed professional counselor and a licensed massage therapist, I deeply value the strength of a holistic approach to healing that includes the mind, the body, and the spirit. I offer individual sessions that include both counseling and embodiment practices to address developmental trauma, PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, chronic pain/auto-immune disorders, and spiritual/energetic issues. My approach uses somatic (body-centered) awareness and mindfulness as a way to enhance traditional talk therapy and draws from the wisdom traditions of yoga and Buddhism, the biodynamic field of the human energy system, and somatic psychotherapy.
