I am currently making a puzzle-adventure game (similar to Portal) and so far developpement is going good, however there are some times where I hit a roadblock and I struggle finding new puzzle ideas.

Just to make it easier for someone to help, in this game you can walk through certain walls using a special ability. You can also dash, and it’s in 3rd Person.

Does anyone have tips, advice to find good ideas?

If you’re out of ideas then it’s a good idea to look up and research puzzles, just to stimulate your imagination. Breath of the Wild’s shrines would be a great place to start as their puzzles are physical and object-based.
