Hello, my name is Brian and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I've been working as a mental health professional with hospice patients and families for over 7 years. I will work with you individually to address a range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, healing from trauma, grief, and other life transitions. I like to incorporate mindfulness practices and self-awareness in therapy.

I hold a masters degree in social work from Portland State University. My professional experience has included working with individuals and families as patients near the end of life. Many of the old ways of coping don’t work well anymore and the social worker helps individuals and families to move closer to a place of acceptance in their heart and mind as the individual and family transition together.

Purposeful change comes from acting in a different way than we are now, influencing thought patterns, and focusing on feelings and how they impact our choices. Purposeful change is rarely a comfortable process but the outcome is worth the effort. My goal is to empower you to become someone you are proud to be.

I help Oregonians like you, whether this is your first experience with therapy or you have worked with a counselor before. I take my cues from you, and together we will build a therapeutic relationship focused on achieving your goals. Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, disability and chronic illness, weight stigma, career questions, or other life transitions, I want to help you frame your story, make meaningful progress, and develop clarity.

I use gentle and experiential modalities including brainspotting, mindfulness, and somatic exercises, all designed to heal the relationship between the body and self as we process trauma and difficult life events.

I have a master's degree in counseling from Portland State University. I am a clinical rehabilitation counselor (CRC), which means I am specifically trained to work with disabled and chronically ill clients. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon, which means that I have thousands of hours of experience. I am certified in brainspotting, which means I have extensive, personalized training in that modality.

I have worked with a wide-range of clients—BIPOC and white, adolescents, young, middle-aged, and older adults, people of all gender expressions and faiths, people experiencing complex trauma, and formerly incarcerated individuals. No matter who you are, my approach is compassionate, holistic, and strengths-based. I also want to help you develop mindful coping skills to nurture yourself even after our therapeutic relationship has ended.

As an Indigenous person, I deeply acknowledge that a sense of personal identity is integral for a culturally-informed healing and learning journey. My sessions typically include holistic approaches to well-being, such as grounding based on traditional values and empowerment, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I use approaches that are evidence-based and allow for specialized therapy based on your values.

My educational background includes a Masters of Arts in Applied Psychological Science at Pacific University, which focused on integrating counseling skills with research, and my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Portland State University. I also completed a six-month clinical internship at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, where I gained knowledge in cultural responsiveness among rural and Indigenous people. Currently, I am a Professional Counselor Associate working toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor under the supervision of a clinical supervisor.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort. Ultimately, my goals are your goals, and we'll work together to best meet your needs. If you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen.

My name is Ira, and I am a counseling associate working towards licensure. I grew up in Eugene Oregon and have been in Portland for the past 13 years. I enjoy reading and learning, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I believe that by exploring our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences we can come to a better understanding of ourselves, and learn new ways to care for ourselves and others.

I've worked several years as a drug and alcohol counselor (CADC II) prior to becoming a mental health counseling associate, and have learned to use a variety of compassionate, person-centered counseling approaches including motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, emotion focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I've used a trauma-informed lens to support clients struggling with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger problems, trauma responses, personality disorders, and environmental stressors.

I believe that people want to do well and be in good relationships. I also believe that there are so many things in life, physically and emotionally that can disrupt being in good relationships. As a therapist I believe my role is to help people evaluate the quality of their relationships and develop self awareness to effect change.

I believe change comes from engaging in different behavior, different thought patterns and healthy life choices. Change comes to people in many different ways, I will work to help you find how change can come to you.

I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from National University. I have worked in many different settings, such as group homes, juvenile justice and in early intervention for people at risk of Schizophrenia.

I am committed to continuing education to offer the most relevant, evidenced base intervention for the individuals I support through counseling.

I am interested in helping people overcome the obstacles that get in the way of their mental and emotional health. I have been assisting youth, families, and adults in this pursuit for the last 20 years.

I have experience doing counseling and casework in many settings which include residential treatment, schools, county agencies, and most recently community mental health. I use a broad spectrum of therapeutic tools to support client's where they are at in their journey.

Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing provide the general framework for my work with people.

I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Master's in Social Work in 2011 and have been licensed as an LCSW for the last 5 years. I believe the foundation of therapeutic work rests in a strong, caring, mutual connection.

I would appreciate the opportunity to build that connection and work on the goals and objectives you have for living a more fulfilling life with less emotional distress.
