"Greetings. I appreciate how difficult it can be to choose a therapist and wish you the best in your selection process. My aim is to work with clients where there are, with the strengths they have, and in the manner they feel most comfortable. I believe people are doing the best they can with the tools they have. The thing is, sometimes the tools we have are inadequate for the job. That's where therapy can help. I try to give my clients new tools to tackle persistent problems in new ways."

"Being authentic with others can make us feel vulnerable and seeking help with problems we are experiencing may feel scary. It takes courage! As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients can journey through problematic pieces of their life, while maintaining and growing a healthy sense of self. I address the client as a multi-facetted individual by being mindful of psychological, physical, social and spiritual components of health and wellness. I work with individual adults, adolescents and couples."

"Counseling is a personal and safe process that deeply respects and honors each individual's unique circumstances. I take a positive and creative approach to therapy while partnering with you to work toward healthy change, development, and growth. This process will involve exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviors and taking action to achieve positive change."

""I believe as children, adults, and families grow and go through developmental stages, crisis can occur that lead them to the point of needing some extra support to get through the crisis time. I believe in self determination, and that a person ultimately knows what is best for themself. Additionally, I believe that parents are the experts regarding their own children. Parents know their children better than anyone. Advocacy for children"s safety, health and well being continues to be an important factor in my career, and I believe education is the best way to achieve this.""

"I will work alongside you to help you discover your own unique skills to engage in your life in a meaningful way. I approach therapy from a client centered lens and integrate interventions to help you better connect in your life. I will engage you in thoughtful dialogue that is laced with hope and humor. I strive to help you open yourself to the possibilities that are available to you through compassionate interactions in therapy."

"I was drawn to work in the helping profession through a deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing as well as my love for relationships. I have a passion for emotional healing that improves our connections with others and the overall quality of daily experiences for each individual and family.

"I offer decades of rich experience in the fields of counseling, teaching, and other helping professions in Oregon and internationally.

The client’s unique history, experience, and cultural background are the principle strategic focus for healing somatic (body) and emotional pain."

"The truth... life can be hard. It can feel even more difficult at certain points along the way. Why go through this alone? The suffering of the human heart is something that needs to be heard. Allow me to walk alongside you as you heal and change. If your at a point in your life that feels stuck, lonely, confusing, sad, or even angry, give yourself the opportunity to challenge this and break through. Together, we can discover the events in your life that are your struggles. Whether it's addiction, trauma, relationships or loss, its time to heal and get back to being you. "

"You deserve to feel more connected and fulfilled. Maybe you’d rather engage more in activities that bring you joy, or maybe you’d rather not rely on substances, or engage in harmful activities, in order to cope. Painful childhood experiences often have lingering effects- holding us in patterns that no longer serve us, but I believe those patterns can be interrupted and changed. As a counselor I can be a guide in this process, and as a graduate student intern I am able to provide this at a low cost. ******Accepting new clients in Newberg only****** "
