Welcome
I believe everyone is capable of living a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Often this is made possible by gaining a better understanding of ourselves and learning new ways to cope with the process of life’s transitions and challenges. Participating in therapy can give people a space to explore where they’ve been, who they are and who they want to become. My approach as a therapist is compassionate and respectful, honoring the strengths each client brings to move forward toward positive changes.
I have been in private practice in Portland, Oregon since 2002, providing therapy and counseling services to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I have education and experience working with a variety of issues:
- relationship challenges
- depression
- trauma
- adjustment problems
- divorce
- anxiety
- abuse
- grief and loss
- blended family concerns
- ADHD
Some of the approaches that I integrate into my work with clients include:
- psychodynamic
- cognitive behavioral
- yoga
- play therapy
- developmental
- mindfulness
- sandtray
- family systems
- attachment theory
I offer consultation to people who wish to start their own business, pursue a passion, or want to build a private practice in the mental health field. I also have the required certification to be a clinical supervisor for those who are pursuing licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon. …more
