As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with adults (no couples) and children who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves. You may be doing everything you can to keep going—showing up for work or school, caring for others, and managing daily life—while quietly carrying anxiety, sadness, anger, or deep exhaustion. Sometimes your reactions feel bigger than expected. Sometimes life just doesn’t feel like it used to. I specialize in trauma-informed care and understand that these experiences are not signs of weakness. They are often signs that your mind and body have been working hard to cope. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported at your own pace. In our work together, I offer a calm and steady presence. Therapy with me is not about pushing you to “just move on” or forcing change before you’re ready. It’s about slowing down, listening to what your mind and body are holding, and creating space for relief and clarity. My role is to walk alongside you as you regain a sense of stability and reconnect with the part of you that holds resilience, strength, and the capacity for joy—even if that feels far away right now.

Hi and thank you for your consideration. 📘 Introduction Relationships with professors led to my first becoming a therapist as an undergraduate student majoring in Community Service at University of Oregon. After receiving a master's degree in social work, the majority of my career was working 23 years for the National Center for PTSD. I had the extraordinary experience of creating my own job description as a Health Scientist in the emerging field of Disaster Mental Health. Over the course of these years, I responded to a dozen Presidentially declared catastrophic events. Additionally, I created a therapy integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and meditation endorsed by a leading 20th century cognitive therapy psychologist who assisted the work being published in an international clinical journal. 📘Overview: • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) helping clients cope with anxiety, depression and traumatic events to achieve behavioral change. • In 2022, I began offering telemental health therapy and have been enjoying the work and the progress with my clients. • Former Health Science Specialist and Editor-in Chief of clinical journal at National Center for PTSD. • Career spans research, emergency response, clinical practice, clinical training, administrative consultation, 30+ publications, and international humanitarian response.

I have been in practice for 30+ years and as a clinically trained social worker. I have served in several interesting capacities. My goal as a therapist is to be a part of the therapeutic process in guiding you forward to find the fulfilling life you deserve. I provide a nurturing and safe space for us to work as a team to identify your therapy goals and it's my priority to meet you where you are at in your journey. I will approach your challenges with support and openness to assist with the process of developing healthy, and useful coping strategies that work for you.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been carrying anxiety, trauma, or stress on your own for a long time. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to move forward, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I work with adults and teens who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll explore what’s been shaping your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, while building practical tools to help you feel more regulated, confident, and empowered in daily life.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+ and adults. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well. I see virtual clients and accept females, teens, and couples only for in person sessions.

My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who provides individual therapy using an eclectic framework. I know that therapy can be intimidating, especially when first seeking services.

I use various tools to assist you in reaching goals and help identify what works for you.

I was born in Managua, Nicaragua but moved to the United States at a young age. I can say that I’ve learned to appreciate, value, and grow from every experience given in life. Good or bad experiences can potentially shape who we are. They can impact our view and perspective about life, and make us stronger to overcome challenges we face throughout our journey or disable us temporarily, making the journey less enjoyable and pleasing. I always had a strong desire to help others. I found in Psychology and Therapy a good option to provide others the needed tools to move forward, so they can find within them the strength to push toward a better and more productive lifestyle. I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also feel an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person.

Hi, I’m Avery. I am passionate about supporting teens and women as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward greater emotional well-being. I primarily work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and trauma. In my practice, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns while developing healthier ways of coping. I believe meaningful change begins with self-awareness and compassionate self-exploration. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and build more fulfilling lives and relationships.
