Therapists for college students near 97203

Hello! I am a therapist in private practice offering 1:1 therapy via telehealth and in person. I have worked at several college counseling centers (Lewis & Clark, Reed College, etc.) and understand the various dynamics of being a student. My initial focus is to foster an environment to provide some relief from the pressing issues you currently face while also providing room to explore larger contributing factors such as interpersonal struggles, societal pressures, unhealthy family patterns and problematic institutional structures. I am committed to provide culturally responsive treatment. My style is friendly, attentive and challenging. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out and we can set up an initial appointment to see if I am a good match for what you are looing for in a therapist.

Are you looking for more fulfillment? I specialize in providing therapy to LGBTQIA+ folx looking for a deeper understanding of their sexual or gender identity. Your years at unversity can be challenging as you figure out more about yourself and your place in the world. I'm excited to help you through that journey!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or past trauma? Do you struggle with mood swings, negative thought patterns, or anger that disrupts your daily life? Perhaps you’re dealing with stress, insomnia, low self-esteem, conflicts in your relationships that leave you feeling stuck or isolated. You may long to break free from patterns of self-doubt, grief, or emotional numbness, but don’t know where to start. Whatever challenges you face, you deserve a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings and work toward meaningful change. I’m here to support your healing, growth, and building a life aligned with your true-self. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma & relationship challenges. Using a holistic approach, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll identify the root causes of your struggles, develop effective coping strategies & work toward healing and resilience. My goal is to help you create a full filling life. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. In our sessions, you’ll find a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your challenges and discover your strengths. Whether you’re seeking relief, clarity, or personal growth, I’m here to guide you on your path to becoming the best version of yourself.

College can be exciting, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family concerns, or the impact of difficult experiences from the past. Therapy offers a space to better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build stronger relationships with yourself and others. Many of the students I work with are thoughtful, capable, and hard on themselves. They care deeply about their relationships, responsibilities, and future, but often find themselves overwhelmed or carrying more than they know how to manage. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes what people need most isn't advice or a quick fix, but a place to explore what's happening, gain perspective, and determine what feels right for you. If this resonates with you, I'd be happy to connect. Feel free to reach out or schedule a free consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.

Our practice is tailored to each unique individual, couple, group or family that we have the honor to support.

We will guide you through your healing journey with patience and empathy as we explore together the patterns you want to change or the uncomfortable feelings you need to process. We welcome your feedback along the way and we will provide you with connection and support. Upon completion of your process, you will find that unhealthy lifelong patterns are released, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addictions are a thing of the past, relationships are healthier and peace within yourself is achieved.

I work with teens, college students, and adults of all ages who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, identity exploration, life transitions, and more. My clients often describe me as approachable, creative, and affirming. I proudly identify as queer, gender non-conforming, and neurodivergent — and I deeply value creating a space where folks feel seen, heard, and supported as their full selves. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in senior services, disability advocacy, and holistic health. In 2016, a turning point in my own mental health journey helped me realize how powerful compassionate, well-rounded care can be. That experience inspired me to return to school and become a therapist myself. While attending Portland State University, I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 42 — a moment that gave me greater insight and drive to support others on similar paths. In therapy, I integrate tools from DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care, and I love working with folks who are looking for something a little different than traditional talk therapy. With your consent as our foundation, we’ll work together to clarify your goals and build practical, meaningful strategies that support your growth. Please note: I don’t routinely offer initial consultation calls, except by special request. Feel free to check out my website at www.dynamic-therapy-alliance.com, and if you have questions or want to get a sense of fit, you’re always welcome to send me an email. I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I am a registered LPC and Clinical Art Therapist. I use art and talk therapy to support healing and positive change. I love working with individuals who are processing life challenges that are impacting their quality of existence, whether they are internal feeling or body states and/or external experiences impacting growth and functioning.

I support individuals to see themselves through the light of their strengths and how they can take those strengths out into the world. I use neuroscientific brain science techniques mixed with art to manage/decrease anxiety and depression and symbolic narrative techniques with art to process trauma and other impactful/stressful life experiences to support integration of self, nervous system regulation and increase positive mood.
