Hi, I’m Zachary.
I work with adults struggling with an array of issues, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, vocational decisions, and other major life transitions. I am a level 2 certified Restoration therapist, ADHD certified therapist, and I am certified in several trauma therapies. Everyone faces unique challenges in life, and it can be overwhelming. There is no reason to be alone with struggle. My aim as a counselor is to offer a safe place for support and new approaches. You will find me to be positive and encouraging, helping you find your strengths, clarify your goals, and move forward with hope.
Zach is a Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Justin Little, LMFT and Katie Keck, LMFT.
Zach currently sees clients online throughout Oregon and in person in Tigard, Oregon.

Men's issues refers to the unique psychological and relational challenges men face resulting in patterns like emotional suppression, anger as a primary outlet, isolation, identity struggles tied to performance and provider roles, difficulties with intimacy, and higher rates of unaddressed trauma and depression.

Flash Technique for Trauma
The Flash Technique processes traumatic memories by having the client only briefly and peripherally access the trauma while staying focused on something positive — reducing distress significantly compared to other trauma modalities while still achieving reprocessing.
The Gottman Method is a research-based couples therapy approach that identifies the patterns that destroy relationships — like contempt and stonewalling — and replaces them with skills for building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning.

TRE (for Trauma)
TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) uses guided exercises to activate the body's natural tremoring response, allowing the nervous system to physically discharge stored tension and trauma held in the muscles — bypassing the need for verbal processing.
