About Gabriel
Portland, OR has been my home for the last 25 years, but I also spent formative years in New England and Georgia. This has resulted in me adopting characteristics from all three: the straight-forwardness of NE, the conscientiousness of the South, and the openness and flexibility of the PNW.
Besides being a parent, husband, and friend, I also have extensive experience as a caretaker of children. Relationships in general have always held my attention and curiosity. Having the privilege of going to graduate school to become a relationship specialist has been both a humbling and ever-inspiring focus of my life.
As someone who was in the workforce for 20+ years before entering higher education, I bring to my work the experiences of being an “unskilled” entry-level worker, small business owner, and everything in between.
When I’m not working, I love to have a laugh with my friends and family. Making people laugh is one of the most satisfying and nourishing things I get to do. Humor has always been an essential ingredient for my well being.
Music, also, has been my consistent companion and teacher for as long as I can remember. Performing, writing, and recording music continue to be an integral part of my life. For me, everything is a matter of rhythm and harmony, and the therapy room is no exception.

About Natasha
I was born in the Pacific Northwest and am proud to call this place home. However, having also spent formative years in the Midwest, and Overseas, I’ve become aware of the unique challenges that can come with adjusting to different cultures, environments, and traditions.
Life has offered me a multitude of experiences, both personally and professionally, guiding me to align with my own purpose - as well as a desire to support others in finding meaning in theirs.
As a healthcare professional of over twenty years, I bring warmth, wisdom, humor, compassion, and authenticity to each session.
I am a curious science geek with an active spiritual practice, and background in the creative arts - and am often striving to find ways to bridge those worlds together. I am an outdoor enthusiast who feels deeply inspired and connected to the ecosystem and beauty this area has to offer.
Humor is vital to my life. Because of this, I often seek experiences in which laughter nourishes. I can be found pursuing many endeavors including: outdoor activities, dance, movie watching, sharing meals with good friends, travel, and exploring new psychological ideas with my spouse who works with me and is also a therapist.
