Marriage & Family Therapist Associate
Clinical Supervisor: DeLyn Griffin, MA, LMFT (OR#T3119), RPT™ (#T7301)

Currently accepting new clients. I work with children & teens (0-18), adults and families.

I work with kids utilizing play therapy, teens & families with ADHD, autism, anxiety/depression, loss and grief, parenting & family conflict. Life can bring big feelings, unexpected challenges, and seasons when we feel stuck or disconnected from the people we love. I believe that every person has inherent worth and strengths, even when those strengths are difficult to recognize. My goal is to offer a warm, supportive space where children, teens, and families can feel understood, discover new possibilities, and grow together.

For young children, play becomes a natural language for exploring feelings, working through challenges, and building confidence. I use developmentally appropriate, play-based approaches to help children navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and difficult transitions.

For tweens and teens, I offer a space where they can explore who they are, process overwhelming emotions, navigate relationships, and build confidence in their own voices. I believe young people deserve to feel genuinely heard and supported as they discover their strengths and learn to navigate life's challenges.

For families, I work collaboratively to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and better understand the patterns that shape family life. Together, we can explore challenges with curiosity and compassion while building on the strengths that already exist within your family.

My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and informed by family systems perspectives. Rather than viewing challenges as something that is wrong with a person or family, I seek to understand the experiences, relationships, and needs beneath them. I believe meaningful growth begins with connection, encouragement, and the opportunity to be understood.

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. Therapy is a place to start where you are, recognize your strengths, and take the next step toward greater connection and well-being.
