Life can be challenging at times. We often feel overwhelmed with the many pressures and changes life may bring us. As a licensed professional counselor, my belief is that every individual/relationship brings a unique personal, relational, dynamic and cultural experience. I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental attitude. In the therapeutic relationship I hope to help persons cultivate a sense of self, build healthier habits, challenging mindsets, and defining wants and needs. I believe people have many strengths, skills, and values that foster the therapeutic process. In collaboration we can work towards your goals.

Teletherapy for now (both locations), and Oregon residents only at this time. Do you feel like you have more than you can handle right now? Sometimes it feels like no one can possibly understand what's going on, and we just need someone to hear us. Being able to process concerns in a safe and neutral place is paramount. I believe compassion and attunement is vital in relationships as well as in the therapeutic relationship. It's helpful to explore and gain understanding of past and present experiences, behaviors, hurts, and wounds. While change can be difficult it can also be deeply rewarding.

I have been a clinical social worker for over 40 years. My training has taken me from psychoanalytic training to the more recent trends of mindfulness. My passion has always been to help clients reach their optimum potential---to unlock the courage to resolve their conflicts. As I work with families that have been involved in high conflict divorce, I strive to bring balance as the families adjust to their new configuration. I believe the ideal situation for children of divorce is to have parents who encourage and continue to support positive, nurturing relationships with each other.

Often by the time an individual is entering my office, they have become bogged down and overwhelmed by stress in their life. It is my goal to help quiet the mind (and the busy, stressful world) enough to get in touch with the heart and find true healing. I am a down-to-earth therapist - essentially just another being walking this path of life and trying to find fulfillment in it. I deeply value the time spent with clients as they navigate their lives, figuring out their stressors and their innermost needs that are not being addressed & being with folks as they seek a more centered, authentic and empowered life.

I work with adolescents and adults, utilizing a bio-psychosocial-spiritual approach in therapy with the goal of creating a safe haven for clients. This simply means integrating the many parts of a person into therapy in the hope of improving one’s emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. I also aspire to explore the impact of significant relationships and the influence of larger social systems on a client's sense of wholeness and ability to achieve desired growth.

Hello! We all experience difficulties in our lives no matter our age and we can become stuck. Over time, patterns of behavior can develop into relationships with anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, excessive guilt, shame, and addictions that become problematic and interfere with aspirations and goals. You may have tried many ways to get unstuck including self-help, mindfulness, meditation, even therapy, but the feelings and problems persist despite your best intentions and efforts. You may be a highly sensitive person (HSP) and/or an empath. Exploring this aspect of yourself may be what you need to get unstuck.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
