Hi, I’m Breena
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (she/her ) passionate about supporting people during times of change and transformation. Navigating through change can be overwhelming and exhausting - I believe with the right support you can deepen your self-awareness, identify new strengths, and make space for growth & self-discovery. Through Evidence Based therapeutic interventions such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Grief Counseling, and Emotionally Focused Therapy - I help clients process painful emotions & restore stability to their lives.
Becoming a parent reinforced my commitment to this work. The intense amount of change during this phase of life - from trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood - showed me how critical compassionate, skilled mental health support is during such a transformative time.
I have experience working with general anxiety & depression, perinatal mental health, trauma, grief & loss, eating disorders & body image issues, and couples & family therapy. I offer in-person therapy in Portland, OR and remote services for those based in NY, OR, and CA.
No one warns you how deeply the heart will stretch- how every moment will contain both unbearable ache and unfathomable love
