Welcome,

I am glad you have found your way here. I created this space for you to feel authentically seen, to access the parts of yourself that have been ushered into hiding; that depend on strategies like compulsively-spending, masking, frenetic cleaning, schedule cramming, and perseverating on nearly anything to avoid eye-gazing with the parts of yourself and your life that make you cringe.

Hi! I’m Nate. I'm a therapist licensed in New Mexico and Oregon who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, identity, and men's issues. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years leading wilderness expeditions — an experience that shaped how I think about growth, connection, empowerment, and personal excellence. I use art therapy and play therapy with younger clients, and draw from CBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and experiential approaches with teens and adults. I show up as a real person in session — honest, direct, and occasionally funny when it helps.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes.

Matrescence, or the identity shift at the heart of becoming a mother, is a deep, confronting process. So much surfaces during this transition. Maybe you're feeling far away from yourself and unsure when the ground will steady itself again. Maybe old losses, traumas, and wounds are returning to you in new ways, or you're feeling lost in the forest of change. Maybe you feel far away from your partner and unsure how to find each other again. Maybe you're navigating pregnancy loss or fertility challenges, or struggling to decide if you want to become a parent at all.

I'm a psychodynamic therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, matrescence, and family of origin wounds, including trauma. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (T2574) and hold a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, & Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I have formal training in perinatal mental health, and basic training in perinatal EMDR.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.
