Counseling in Lake Oswego:  Find Balance, Connection, and Fulfillment   

Life Feels Overwhelming—But You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

The world has gotten hectic, and so has your life. Some days, it’s a wonder you’re still standing. You’ve worked hard to manage stress, adapt to challenges, and create a good life. But something still feels off—you’re stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure of your next steps.

Maybe your relationships feel disconnected, or you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms that seem harder to manage. Life may seem “normal” on the surface, but deep down, you feel drained, discontent, and uncertain about the future.

Struggling with Communication in Your Relationship Counseling Can Help               

The stress of recent years has made many couples take a hard look at their relationships. You may have realized that changes need to be made, but communication struggles are getting in the way.

Perhaps you’re still searching for a better work-life balance or feeling the weight of an unequal distribution of responsibilities at home. You want more closeness, connection, and understanding—not stress, distance, or disconnection. You want to feel love for your partner again.

But how do you make that happen?

Empowering Women, Couples, and Adults with ADHD in Lake Oswego                                                              

I specialize in helping women, couples, and adults with ADHD reclaim a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and connection. My approach is tailored to reduce chaos, improve communication, and foster meaningful relationships.

• For women, I provide a space to explore challenges, set boundaries, and rediscover confidence.

• For couples, I help rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and navigate relationship stressors.

• For adults with ADHD, I offer strategies to manage overwhelm, increase focus, and create a more balanced life.

We start by identifying your strengths, values, and personal goals. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns, implement effective communication strategies, and establish healthy boundaries that create lasting change.

Healing the Past to Create a Better Present                   

Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t have to define us. Exploring your core beliefs, learned narratives, and past experiences can help you determine what still serves you—and what you’re ready to let go of.

My clients describe me as warm, open, and supportive, providing a safe space to explore deeper emotions and heal old wounds. When needed, our work may include trauma processing to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
