Hi! My name is Tanuja (she/her). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Oregon. I enjoy working with adult individuals and have experience with couples and families.
I am dedicated to helping individuals learn how to begin healing through self-exploration and curiosity. I am passionate about helping others understand what prevents them from achieving the change they desire.
I value a collaborative approach, counseling from a place of understanding, trust and non-judgement. I focus on the needs and values of the client, which I believe contributes to building confidence in the therapy process, as well as in feeling empowered in meeting your goals.
My hope is to create a therapeutic environment that feels respectful and safe, and one in which you feel accepted and hopeful about sharing an experience that can lead to meaningful change for you.
I draw from various modes of therapy, including Object Relations Theory, which explores the ways in which early relationships/experiences influence our current patterns of behavior. Other styles of treatment that I incorporate are Attachment-Based Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems and Narrative Therapy.
When I’m not practicing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am a Mom of 3 young children who keep me busy! When my kiddos don’t have my attention, I enjoy spending time with my partner, connecting with girlfriends, binge watching a show, going to concerts or reading a good book.
If you are looking for support and guidance related to challenging circumstances, or you’re ready for change and feel this may be a good fit for you, I look forward to our work together.
