As a PMHNP, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care with a direct, honest and approachable style.

My approach is collaborative, empathetic and results-oriented, empowering patients to make lasting progress toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
We all need a little help from time to time to get support for our...grief, trauma, depression, confusing thoughts, self criticism, intense feelings, and improve our relationship with ourselves. Helping ease your painful moments is the most important work we can accomplish together. Sometimes we just need someone to stand by us, assure us that it's going to be okay and guide us through the tough parts. Please give me a call today, we can see how to work together for a better quality of life.
If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a secondary focus in Art Therapy. My background allows me to incorporate both traditional therapeutic approaches and creative expression when helpful, offering multiple ways to explore emotions, gain insight, and support meaningful personal growth.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that firmly believes in personalized and whole-person care. I am a neurodivergent therapist that loves to work with other neurodivergent people. I have been practicing therapy since 2019. I have worked in schools as well as working in a group therapy practice.
As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.
I'm an LCSW with expertise in brain and behavior and additional specialty in addiction
I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Clarity Psychiatry. I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, and burnout. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I believe feeling heard and understood is the foundation of good care :)
I do not candy coat, fluff or any of that; I'm a direct and assertive communicator. I am passionate and professional.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Portland
Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Portland starts with finding care that is clearly affirming of your identity, relationships, and goals. The right therapist may support concerns related to gender identity, coming out, relationship stress, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. This can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to discuss in care.
Portland has many mental health therapists, and the number of choices can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near your neighborhood, workplace, or transit route. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, especially when you want a therapist with specific experience in therapy for gender identity, bisexual therapy, gay couples therapy, lesbian therapy, or LGBTQIA+ relationship support. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, the populations they work with, their availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Portland, filter by insurance, appointment format, specialty, and availability, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
