Licensed Psychologist · Portland, OR
Space to slow down and be heard.
Quiet, evidence-based therapy for adults and teens — for the moments when nothing feels quite right.
Quiet, evidence-based therapy for adults and teens — for the moments when nothing feels quite right.
Aldercreek is a small, independent practice. I work with adults and older teens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the harder transitions of life — and I keep my caseload deliberately small so the work stays real.
No script. No twelve-week protocol promising to fix you. Just a steady relationship, evidence-based methods when they help, and a quiet room with good chairs and afternoon light.
The goal isn't to fix you. It's to help you need less fixing.
Methods I draw from
I work from the belief that good therapy is mostly about the relationship, not just technique. I bring structure when it helps — practical tools and clear goals — and stay curious and collaborative the rest of the time. The goal is not to fix you; it is to build enough clarity and self-compassion that you stop needing me.
Where I spend most of my clinical time. Reach out if what you're carrying isn't listed here.
50-minute weekly sessions for adults. The core of the practice — a place to be honest, slowly.
For partners who want to stop having the same fight, or learn to have a different one.
From generalized worry to panic to intrusive thoughts — evidence-based protocols when called for.
For experiences that still echo. EMDRIA-certified, with somatic and parts-based work alongside.
Most clients arrive with one presenting concern and find something quieter underneath.
A short consultation to see if we're a fit. New clients are usually seen within two weeks.
