I earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the University of Nevada-Reno. I am a Clinical Social Work Associate and have over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, phobias, life changes, domestic violence, PTSD, compassion fatigue/burnout and anger. My passion is working with those living with chronic illnesses, as well as caregivers, with a focus on wellness and developing coping skills that are sustainable for long term use. My years of experience in medical social work, chronic care management, and dialysis have given me a unique perspective and expertise in the emotional and physical adjustments associated with health changes. My style is down to earth, relaxed, supportive and compassionate. Treatment is evidenced based, using a strength based and person-centered approach. Modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Art/Play Therapy are examples of some of the modalities used and are individualized to each person. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort and look forward to speaking with you.

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 am a bilingual professional counseling associate who specializes in working with adolescents, adults, and families. I received my master's in Mental health counseling from Corban University. I also attended Western Oregon University, which is where I received my bachelor's degree while majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Spanish. I have experience working in Marion County Children's Behavioral Health Department and in Private practice.

My approach is strength-based, person-centered. Which allows me to meet my clients where they are by utilizing their strengths to enhance other areas we may need to work on. I integrate various evidence-based therapeutic approaches based on the specific needs of my clients.

Which allows me to establish a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with each client I work with. It's also important for me to cultivate a therapeutic atmosphere where my clients feel at ease with opening up about their uniquely vulnerable stories, and where they are comfortable being their authentic selves.

When life feels overwhelming, when sharks are circling your vessel with teeth bigger than your engine, you’ll need to upgrade to a bigger boat – that is, a bigger toolbox. You need more resources, more support, more skills. We’ve all been there. The cool thing is, once we build this bigger boat – toolbox – it will serve us the rest of our days. Once you have those skills, nothing can take them away.

In my work, I draw from a number of modalities and practices, but my primary approach is called ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). To me, ACT is about freedom. Freedom from the destructive thoughts that hold you back. Freedom from enslavement to painful emotions and the frantic efforts to make them stop. It’s about not feeling like a prisoner in your own head. Since receiving my Master of Social Work degree in 2007, I’ve spent much of my career working with people living with acute and chronic illness, particularly cancer. My life’s work is helping people adjust to difficult life changes, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and other challenges. I have a special place in my heart for women transitioning to motherhood and the post-partum issues that so often arise, and individuals facing the ongoing challenges of parenting. I love the expressive arts and using poetry therapy (which sounds stuffy and boring but isn’t) to help clients find their own voice. I am open to working with adults of all ages, teens, and families. LGBTQ+ clients welcomed and valued.

My approach is grounded in compassion. It is about finding your own strengths and bolstering them with new skills to spark real and lasting change. I believe in kindness, humor, and connection, and I believe there is hidden treasure in everyone. Struggle is part of life, but struggle shouldn’t drive the bus, leaving us flailing around with no lap belt and gum stuck to our seats. You deserve to be the driver of your life, and you can build a boat stronger than the sharks. If you’re here, you’ve already started!

Are you longing for greater joy, aliveness, connection, and peace in a world that has seemingly gone mad??? Well, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, life can get frickin’ hard! If you’re tired of pretending and are looking for a therapist with a non-traditional holistic approach who can keep it real with you, then please read on.

Hello and welcome… I’m super happy you’re here!!! I know it can be challenging to find a therapist you trust enough to open up to. Hopefully, by sharing a little about me and my therapeutic approach, you can get a feel for whether or not I may be a good fit to support you. I am an intuitive holistic mental health practitioner and life coach with over 30 years of experience, who utilizes a unique integrative mind, body, and spirit approach that can help empower you to re-balance the energy of your nervous system so that you can start experiencing more calm, happiness, safety, and connection in your life.

I specialize in dealing with trauma and relationship issues of all kinds (from past to present) and am also LGBTQ+ friendly. When our nervous system is out of balance (often due to stress, lack of safety, connection, and trauma), it can cause us to get stuck in the survival states of fight, flight, or freeze, which can lead to chronic depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, interpersonal conflict, or other mental and physical health issues. Drawing upon the fields of energy psychology, somatic (body-based) therapy, and neurobiology, we can locate the energetic kinks in your nervous system at the emotional, mental, and physical level and re-balance them, in order to naturally relieve mental health issues and improve relationships.

My approach is not for everyone and if you are looking for a therapist who will just listen and let you vent, then I’m probably not the right fit for you. While I am compassionate and non-judgmental, I am also very honest and direct, with a let’s keep it real, no BS active approach to providing you with simple and practical tools to empower yourself and your relationships, while maintaining personal accountability for your choices.

On a more personal note, I live in Roseburg with a wonderfully rebellious teenager, five dogs, and two cats. In my limited spare time, I enjoy jet skiing, heading to the beach, reading, or finding my zen somewhere in nature. Like you, I have had to overcome my own share of personal challenges in life and there is typically not much I hear that I have not also dealt with personally. That’s what allows me to keep it real with you and share tools with you that I personally know work. We are all on this crazy life journey together and would love to lend you a guiding hand, if you think we may be a good fit.
