Working with Parker has really changed my perspective about online therapy services like betterhelp; while I initially thought building rapport would be so difficult in this manner, it happened in record timing. Parker is always quick to send a link, recommendation, or resource related to topics or challenges I am discussing, and clearly has worked hard to develop a vast encyclopedia of resources to share. Working with them underlines the delicate balance between holding the personability required to establish a trusting therapuetic relationship, as well as the clear designation of support roles; the appropriate awareness to my needs as a patient.

- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in Oregon dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My practice is grounded in affirming, trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.
I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and bring particular expertise in gender identity, sexuality, and relationship dynamics. I'm committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore questions of self-worth, communication, attachment, and life purpose. I also work with clients facing trauma, abuse, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions—including young adults navigating identity and belonging.
My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build resilience, process difficult emotions, and move toward healing at your own pace. Whether you're working through past wounds, relationship challenges, workplace stress, or existential questions, I'm here to support your journey with authenticity and care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to bare witness to your story.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
