Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.5 mi away • Portland, OR


I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portland

Finding the right therapist in Portland starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you reach out.

Portland has a large and diverse mental health community, with providers practicing across the city and offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty — things like location, appointment availability, and whether a provider offers a free introductory phone call. These details can help you narrow your options and feel more confident in your choice.

Therapy in Portland can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. Many patients pay as low as $0 per session when they see an in-network provider. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
