I use techniques from a variety of theories including The Gottman Method (typically for couples/relationships), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Learning how to love, be loved, and give love to ourselves can often be challenging. We experience rejection, trauma, and misunderstanding from others. Learning how to process these experiences is a process we are rarely able to do alone. In addition to working with couples and relational units, I see adult individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I enjoy supporting those working to understand experiences of queerness, gender non-conformity and neurodiversity.

My masters in counseling is from Portland State University and I focused on sexuality, gender, relationship work and family systems.
Many of us have pre-verbal layers that come in as feelings of depression, restlessness and anxiety. Times of birth, death, relationship, and sexuality can usher in a greater understanding of these non-verbal aspects of ourselves. We will use a process of looking at the imagination, loose associations, and dream material to help integrate subconscious depths.

Couples and Relationship issues, adolescent issues, coping with stress, anxiety, and depression, recovering from grief and loss, spiritual and faith issues are areas of expertise and focus.
Calling for help can be intimidating. Hopefully I can make your first contact a safe experience. Our initial session is geared to getting to know each other, to hear your story, what prompted you to seek therapy, and talk about your goals. By the end of this session we should have a good idea if we will work well together. If not, I will be happy to give you referrals. Psychotherapy is the intentional process of seeking change, a move towards healing. It is to that end that we can work together to achieve your goals as I offer my experience and training.

Relationship issues arise from different aspects of our lives at home and at work. Are you a couple wanting to clarify your relationship? Or a single person longing for more connection? Do you work with difficult people or have trouble relating to those who think differently? The first step is increased self-knowledge. Disagreements may stem from loss of trust, unbalanced time commitments, or communication upsets. When personality dynamics are considered, we find resolution. Do you struggle with intimacy issues or sexual problems? We can work toward long term results using an effective mind/body/spiritual/emotional approach.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
