Is This for You?
Depression therapy in Forest Grove and online across Oregon, for teens and adults who feel flat, heavy, or far away from the life they want. When getting through the day takes everything you have, even small steps can feel out of reach. You do not have to push through it alone.
I offer a warm, steady space where there is no pressure to perform or pretend. We start where you are, on the days that feel impossible as much as the ones that feel okay.
Tweens & Teens (10+)
Specialized support for young people navigating identity, relationships, and the complexities of growing up.
Adults
A collaborative space to break old patterns, process experiences, and build the life you envision.
Parents
Guidance and support for parents seeking help for their children or navigating family dynamics.
What It Can Look Like
Low energy
Everyday tasks feel like wading through mud, and rest never quite refills the tank.
Loss of interest
Things that used to bring you joy feel distant or pointless.
Heavy self-talk
A harsh inner voice that calls you a burden or a failure.
Withdrawal
Pulling back from people, plans, and parts of yourself you used to enjoy.
How I Can Help
Depression lies about who you are and what is possible. In our work, I help you separate those lies from the truth, one small piece at a time. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to interrupt the thoughts that keep you stuck, mindfulness to reconnect with the present, and expressive arts for the moments when words feel too heavy to lift.
If low mood shows up alongside anxiety or a recent shift in life, we can hold all of it. Anxiety therapy often pairs well here, and for new parents, postpartum therapy offers focused support. This work can stand on its own or grow into ongoing individual therapy.
“Every person’s journey is unique. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you discover your own path forward.”
Mindfulness
Learning to stay grounded in the present moment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Identifying and shifting patterns that no longer serve you.
Expressive Arts
Using creativity to communicate when words aren’t enough.
Motivational Interviewing
Finding the internal spark to make the changes you desire.
Client-Centered Care
You are the expert of your life; I provide the tools and perspective to help you navigate it.
The Investment
Individual sessions are $145 for 45 to 50 minutes. I accept major credit cards through IVY Pay, HSA and FSA cards, cash, and checks, and I am happy to talk through sliding scale options or out-of-network superbills so cost is one less barrier.
The hardest part is often taking the first step in making contact. I am here to help make this process as smooth as possible for you. Let’s first start by seeing if we’re a good fit for your healing journey
Payment Options
I accept all major credit cards via IVY Pay, HSA/FSA cards, cash, and checks.
