Welcome, the first thing you might have noticed is the missing “E” in my name. That’s all thanks to my Eastern European roots that followed me overseas to the great Pacific Northwest. I immigrated to the US when I was only 5 years old, but one thing I brought with me and kept is my native language. Thanks to that I’m proud to be a multi-cultural counselor who can provide counseling in both English and Russian.

After graduating high school, I pursued the field of finance for my bachelor’s degree and spent four years in the corporate world. During that time, my faith drew me towards helping others, volunteering and being a support and mentor for many young adults. Two years into my corporate job I realized my true calling and pursued a master’s degree in school counseling. I completed my program and have been working as a counselor since.

Helping people looks different depending on the counselor they might work with. When it comes to my practice, the focus comes from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy standpoint. This is a short-term therapeutic approach aimed at making different choices. Each one of us has the power to make choices that will lead to different outcomes and sometimes we just need a little guidance along the way. This includes learning new skills and exploring capabilities that we might not be utilizing.

When it comes to clientele, I specialize in working with youth. This includes teens, young adults, married people, and anyone else who thinks they turn 21 during every birthday. I am happy to support my clients through anxiety, conflicts with others, self-esteem issues, pursuing career change, and much more. I am very passionate about my work and its always rewarding to see that you were a piece of the puzzle that helped someone see the bigger picture and grow.

Finding the right fit for your counseling needs is very important so if you believe I might be a good fit, please complete the application below.

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.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, empathetic space for you to express your thoughts and emotions as we work together, exploring your goals and finding new paths to meet the challenges in your life. 

No one type of therapy works with every person or issue. My integrative approach is tailored for your specific needs.  I have a strength based, person centered approach to therapy which is trauma informed and incorporates relational and psycho-dynamic therapy as well as aspects of cognitive therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. I also provide EMDR therapy for clients who are struggling with past or current trauma issues.

I hold a master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College. My professional counseling experience and training includes working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, trauma and crisis counseling, and emotionally focused therapy.  I have had the opportunity to provide support to individuals in all stages of life, from college students to senior adults experiencing anxiety, depression, work stress and relationship issues and life transitions.

I hold a humanistic perspective, meaning I believe that you are whole, deserving, and perfect at your core. I trust that your inherent intelligence and ability to connect to yourself can be revealed and encouraged through the therapeutic relationship that we will create together. I respect that you are the ultimate authority on your life and experience.

I practice holistic and integral psychology, taking the whole body, mind, and spirit into consideration, bringing a somatic, depth, and transpersonal approach to our work. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of ecopsychology, dreamwork, mindfulness, and body-centered expression. I also find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be effective too. We will pay attention to “where” and “how” feelings and experiences are held within your body, and explore the deeper meanings in your life, as well as the deeper reasons behind your challenges and difficulties. I don't subscribe to the belief that there is something wrong with you, rather "what happened to you".

For therapy to work there needs to be personal accountability. While I work from a compassionate stance in helping you figure out what works for you, my style is very honest and direct, and therefore not for everyone.

I specialize in supporting people who experience chronic illnesses and invisible disabilities, neuro-toxic mental illness, chemical/mold/EMF sensitivities, and narcissistic abuse. I personally am a survivor of Lyme Disease and Mold Illness, and am here to walk this walk with you thanks to having overcome many of my own personal life challenges that has given me the empathy and understanding to be real with you.

Congrats on taking the first step of reaching out for the help you deserve.

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 everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.

A warm hello and welcome!

I seek to encourage people in growing hope, in creating meaningfulness and realizing perspectives from life experiences, to self-empower and self-accept in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, free of stigma and shame.

Counseling can be transformative and healing. Counseling can also be challenging and uncomfortable at times.  It is important to take it at one’s own pace. There are many different counselors to choose from and it can be self-empowering to choose a counselor or therapist that feels right to you.

My counseling approach is respectful, trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based and holistic. I believe wellness is possible through creating self-care practices, identifying and expanding positive coping and individual strengths, growing resilience and cultivating inner wisdom.  

I have worked primarily with talk therapy, creating the space and time to listen and listen deeply to what matters, exploring goals, naming and understanding obstacles, creating measureable action steps towards your decided goals.

I hold a master of science in Rehabilitation Counseling from San Francisco State University and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I am a trained counseling professional specializing in working with people living with disabilities, chronic illness, co-occurring conditions, and/or existing diagnoses. 

Since 2011, I have trained and worked with culturally and socioeconomically diverse people in diverse settings: community mental health, addictions/harm reduction, re-entry, transitional housing, clinical counseling, Veterans in recovery, street outreach, Veterans and community crisis/suicide prevention/intervention, vocational rehabilitation/return-to-work, and vocational organic landscape gardening training and teaching.

I am an ally and advocate to Military/Veterans, Disability, LGBT+, and BIPOC communities. I am happy to now be working at Stronger Oregon via telehealth to expand access to counseling during this covid-19 experience. I am a registered licensed professional counselor (LPC) Associate in Oregon and as an associate, I receive regular clinical supervision from a licensed clinician. I will share more information at the first session.
