LGBT therapists in Eugene, OR

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply off, you’re in the right place. I work with individuals who are ready for meaningful, lasting change, people navigating the stress of parenting, the weight of anxiety and depression, the challenges of ADHD, or the desire to reconnect with their true selves. Because therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about remembering who you are, beneath the noise.

I specialize in supporting:

-Parents and caregivers of children with complex or behavioral needs

-Women navigating identity, burnout, life transitions, or societal pressure

-Adults with ADHD, anxiety, or depression looking for new tools and self-compassion

-Those exploring alternative lifestyles or seeking alignment with their values

-Intensive Summer Therapeutic Program for Neurodivergent Children

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Texas providing teletherapy to clients. I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work and have pursued extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, couples counseling, and ACT/DBT models. I specialize in working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or acute trauma, family of origin concerns, LGBTQIIA+ issues, obsessive thinking, and stress management.

Masako is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes in caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Taking a holistic approach to mental health, she looks beyond symptoms to explore the underlying factors that influence emotional well-being, including physical health, lifestyle, relationships, and lived experiences. More recently, Masako also completed continuing education that focused on PTSD assessment and management through the National Center for PTSD.

I strive to provide a place of safety and security for those seeking emotional and mental wellness by building meaningful relationships with my clients. I enjoy working with trauma survivors while they find a new way of living with their past. I like to look at a person from a system perspective. What system (family or otherwise) did you grow up with? What does that look like now? What changes can you make in your system to create healthier boundaries and more meaningful relationships?

As a social worker who specializes in mental health, I truly believe that prioritizing one's mental health is an important as one's physical health.

I have worked in the field of social services for over 31 years. I have experience working with adult survivors of child abuse, child neglect, domestic violence, commercial exploitation, and rape. I have experience working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, divorce, family separation, and caretaker fatigue. I also have experience working with adults dealing with significant life/career changes, and those dealing with crisis situations.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: we all have a fundamental desire to be seen and to connect. While life inevitably brings us through seasons of loss and uncertainty, I believe these moments are where our deepest growth happens. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for that connection to take place. Together, we can explore your unique journey, creating room for the self-discovery and healing that comes when we feel truly heard.
