It is the relationships around a child that shape the quality of their life.


Together we navigate the relationships around your child — holistically and systemically. Because healthy emotional development happens where relationships feel safe — not through a constant state of happiness, but through a deep sense of meaning, connection and trust.

Individual Counselling

We are the first generation with more ways to connect than ever before – and one of the loneliest. The freedom to feel and to express ourselves comes with a responsibility: to cultivate the inner resources we need to truly live that freedom.
We live in a society that expects us to have it all figured out – yet life itself remains uncertain. And it is precisely this uncertainty that invites us: to recognise what we can accept, and what we want to change.
Children don't learn from what we say. They learn from who we are – from whether our words, actions, and emotional presence are aligned or not. Let's create a space together, free from judgement, where you can explore what lives within you: feelings that seek expression. Patterns that keep returning. Inner parts that want to be heard. And real needs – so that your child can come to know and love the truest version of themselves.

Couples Counselling and
Co-Parenting

Every relationship lives in the tension between closeness and autonomy, between what was and what is still becoming. The goal is not to resolve that tension – it's to hold it together. In our work, we reweave the threads that carry your connection: communication, trust, and – where you want it – desire and erotic aliveness.
Together we look at the patterns beneath recurring conflicts, reshape how you communicate, and meet crises and transitions for what they can also be: invitations to grow.
What you live together, your child carries within them. They watch through you what relationships can withstand – even as they change. What responsibility looks like. What respect feels like. And what repair makes possible. When conflict is met with curiosity and a willingness to reconnect, your child learns what role they themselves are allowed to take in relationships – whether you stay together as a couple or find a new way forward as co-parents.

Holistic Child Accompaniment

Much of what shapes us happens before we have words for it. In the earliest years, experience is not stored in language but in the body – in sensation, rhythm, and relationship. This is why purely verbal approaches often cannot reach what young children truly need: a way to express what was lived long before words existed for it.
Through art, music, and play with language, your child finds a different kind of access – one that doesn't need to explain anything. That simply allows what is felt to be expressed. Colour, sound, rhythm, movement: they become a language of their own. And through them, something foundational begins to emerge – an embodied sense of self that grows from the inside:
I feel myself. I notice myself. I am.
This is holistic child accompaniment at its core – not correcting behaviour, but helping your child, step by step, to find trust in themselves.

I'd tried therapy before and it never clicked. This was different. Within the first session I knew I was in exactly the right place.


Depression & Burnout · Portland, OR

I was going through a divorce and a career change at once. Dr. Mitchell helped me find solid ground again. I can't recommend her enough.

Q&A

What is Systemic Holistic Relational Counseling?


Systemic counselling understands the person within the context of their relationships, lived worlds, and patterns. Holistic education turns its gaze toward individual development, inner resources, and the conditions that make growth, connection, and participation in life possible.
Depending on what you bring, art, music, and perception-based approaches may become part of the process – opening additional spaces for expression and experience where words alone don't reach.
Together, these perspectives create room for clarity, connection, and lasting change – shaped around what is alive for you.

What does hybrid mean?


Hybrid means we can combine flexibly – I come to you, or we meet online. The work fits around your life, not the other way around.
It matters to me that we meet in person for at least the first session. Real encounter happens in the room – in a glance, in the voice, in what arises between two people when they are truly present with each other. That first arrival together carries everything that comes after. How we continue from there, we decide together.
Work with children takes place exclusively in person – wherever the child feels safe: at home, in their nursery or kindergarten (in coordination with the setting), or outside in nature.

How many sessions will I need – and how far apart?


In our initial clarification session, we look at your situation together, define what you're bringing, and develop a shared focus. From there, we shape the path forward.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Whether five or ten sessions makes sense, we decide together – based on what you're working with, its complexity, and the relationships involved.
My work is oriented toward strengthening your own resources and opening new perspectives – not toward keeping you in the process longer than you need.
Sessions typically take place every one to two weeks, leaving enough space between appointments to integrate new experiences and try out changes in everyday life.
If something new emerges along the way, we clarify it together as a new focus. From there, additional sessions can be arranged as part of the process.

How many sessions do I need, and how often will they take place?


We decide this together. In our initial session, we look closely at your situation, clarify what feels important right now, and define a possible direction. From there, we see what unfolds. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions usually take place one to two weeks apart.If you have booked process support and we notice that more time would be helpful, or that a new focus emerges, you can add additional sessions at the process rate.

My child is having a hard time – at home or in kindergarten. What does that tell us?


When a child shows signs of difficulty, it is often an indication that something in their wider environment is in motion – or asking to be noticed. Children speak through their behaviour long before they can put it into words.
Together we look at what is happening in the system and how changes can be shaped in a way that genuinely supports both the child and the family.

Do both partners need to come? And do I need to bring my child?"


No – neither is a prerequisite.
For couples or co-parenting work, it's enough if just one person comes to begin with. In systemic work, we understand relationships as systems – when one person shifts, the entire dynamic often shifts with them.
For your child's accompaniment, we discuss together in the initial session how and when to involve your child in a way that makes sense – depending on their age, what you're bringing, and what feels right for them.


How can I tell if we’re a good fit to work together?


That's exactly what the free first call is for. You get a sense of how I work, and I get to truly perceive what is moving you. From there, you decide how you'd like to continue.
