About Josh
I treat adult individuals, couples, poly relationships, and family systems in person and online in Portland, Oregon. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) as well as a clinical supervisor for therapists. I accept cash/credit card/HSA only, and though I don't work with insurance companies, I am happy to provide you with a superbill for reimbursement. I've been practicing therapy since 2022 and earned an MA in Couple & Family Therapy from Seattle University. I draw from a combination of therapy approaches: emotionally focused therapy; Gottman Research Methods; psychodynamic; narrative; and structural family therapy, depending on client needs. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and I have lived in Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Washington, and Georgia. I've also worked abroad in Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Ireland. In my past life I was a creative writing professor in Tucson and Chicago, and hold other graduate degrees in film, poetry, and a doctorate in English. I love working with couples, families, and individuals as a therapist and hope that you'll feel welcome to reach out in order to book a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs.
Clinical supervisor
My approach to supervision (for LMFTs and LPCs) is based largely on the supervisee's need. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Research Methods, Psychodynamic, IFS, and several other approaches.

Chronic pain is real and physical. Being sent to a therapist for it can feel like an accusation. That is not what I am doing. I work on what the pain takes from your sleep, your mood, and your days, so daily life feels more manageable. I live with fibromyalgia. That doesn’t make me an expert…

I work with clients who feel like they don’t quite fit, who are questioning who they are, pushing against expectations, or tired of holding it all together. If you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure where you belong, therapy can be a place to figure that out without judgment.…

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
