Tired of hearing "get better" and you having to wrestle with wanting to explode because you really wish that You Could ...Just... Get better!"

Are you worried about your child's behavior or emotional well-being. I work with children ages three through eighteen, who experience difficulties with anxiety, depression, transitions, difficulty making friends and behavioral problems. I work with children and the adults in their lives to provide support and guidance to help navigate both the every day, and the more challenging days.

I specialize in children, adolescents, adults and families. I have helped clients suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety related disorders, behavioral issues, and grief and loss. My approach is person centered, focused on creating a caring and empathetic therapeutic relationship, while utilizing varied interventions, including psychodynamic, behavioral and cognitive based techniques, family systems theories, and attachment based strategies. In addition to more traditional approaches, I am a strong proponent of creative expressive therapy. Through expressive interventions my clients have learned to develop appropriate self expression of feelings, self confidence, effective coping and conflict resolution strategies, and pro social communication to help foster appropriate peer relations.

Never thought you'd find yourself looking for a therapist, or had a disappointing therapy experience before? Much of the success of treatment depends on finding someone whom you can trust, who is as invested in seeing you make progress as you are. I have a solid track record working with children, adolescents, adults and families to create change in their lives...even when situations feel hopeless.

During these trying times many of us are anxious, discouraged or depressed and need support to become more effective in work, relationships or family dynamics.

I am also adept with workplace related issues, and have presented at national conferences on providing effective counseling and psychotherapy services to males.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Oregon and New York, I help adults ages 18+ who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions.

My practice is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and utilizes a range of techniques including awareness of sensations in the body, narrative interventions, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.

Perhaps, the two of you simply can't communicate, or you have just had a useless fight. You may have even thought of divorce. You know you don't want that. Maybe one of you has a job requiring travel or late hours. The time left goes to your kids. In the middle of the night, you realize you are losing each other.

When we realize that own minds, not just life circumstance, can create barriers to our happiness, we're on the right path.

At some point, we all face the need to change something in our lives. You may want to improve your relationships, reduce emotional pain, modify behavior patterns that don’t work for you, tackle a specific problem/symptom, or learn more about yourself. Change can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can offer a different perspective on your situation coupled with expertise to help you make the changes you want. I am a skilled therapist with advanced training in DBT and couples treatment, and 30+ years of experience working with adults, adolescents and couples in both short and long-term treatment.

There is no single way to live a fulfilling life. All of us need a safe place to talk about what we're experiencing. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person is an essential part of transformation. This is especially true when done in a therapeutic environment where you can explore new ideas and make your own decisions about your life without fear of intrusion from the other. My clinical intention is to help clients see and experience themselves in a new way.

Do you sometimes have a hard time accepting parts of yourself or your feelings that you are experiencing? Perhaps you know what you should do, but just can't do it no matter how much advice others give you. Or perhaps you feel sad, angry or stuck and don't see a way out. Therapy can be a place where you can gain clarity regarding your feelings, needs and desires as well as a place to look at parts of yourself you might be scared to look at. You are never one identity, one feeling, one experience, but rather many all at once. Life is hard, especially under captialism and systemic oppression. You got this, one step at a time.

I have an affinity toward working with creative personalities. I practice direct therapy and use multiple evidenced based practices.
