Done surviving? Let’s challenge self-doubt, build resilience, and align your life with purpose—using CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.

Warm, evidence-based therapy in Oregon

Hey, I'm Deena, a Professional Counselor Associate offering an integrative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to therapy. Together, we'll slow down, make sense of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, build on what's already working, process painful experiences at a pace that feels safe, and develop practical skills that support lasting change. Drawing from Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), schema therapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, and neuroscience, I tailor each session to your unique story because no two people heal the same way.
