I believe it is the quality of the relationship which transforms and helps people heal, grow and change. I try to help you feel safe, comfortable and trusting so this process can begin and take hold to where you trust yourself with more certainty. I treat individuals with symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship problems, grief and loss, and sexual addiction. I consider all of the individual, one's beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, past, present and future experiences. I use a combinations of therapies such as, Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Emotion-Focused with couples.

Now accepting new clients in Redmond Oregon! (Fridays/Mondays only at this time) and clients in Prineville Oregon on Mondays.

Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

24 years experience. Licensed Professional Counselor and Level III Certified Alcohol/Drug Counselor. I am a solution-focused therapist working with clients to find relief for current presenting issues and long-term maintenance of their overall well-being. I have worked as an independent therapist, clinical supervisor, consultant, and treatment program administrator, resulting in treating a wide range of clients and issues. My goal is to provide realistic and practical solutions that have potential for immediate application/results.

I work with a variety of adult clients. Most people who consult me are confronting anxiety,depression, substance abuse, stress related disorders, and marital problems. In assessing the type of problems, people present, I look at lifestyle, current coping mechanisms, how we think and perceive our problem, our personal histories and what strategies specifically people have used to address their concerns. The use of mindfulness, learning to be more present in the moment allows for reduced reactivity, new ways of coping, problem solving, and relating to others in ones environment. It can lead to healing and transformation.

As a person and as a counselor my focus is on developing relationships that foster wholeness. I am not interested in diagnosing and treating symptoms. I help clients who are interested in going deeper into their humanity and discovering the richness that can be found in seeking wholeness. I work with youth, adults, and couples who are experiencing existential, spiritual, and/or relational problems.

I work with families, couples or individuals irrespective of diagnosis or the presenting problem. I'm interested in the person, not the label. From my perspective, psychotherapy is a collaboration. It has been referred to as the "talking cure" because it heals through conversation. Putting troubling thoughts, emotions, and memories into words enables them to be felt and understood more deeply, to be borne with greater resilience, and to facilitate wiser choices. And, the privacy, boundaries, empathy, and safety of the therapeutic relationship can enable even the most shameful and frightening feelings to be faced and worked through.

I am an easy to talk to, solutions oriented therapist, who will partner with you in exploring the challenges of life and how to move forward in ways that will have a lasting impact on you and those you care about most. Together we will look beneath the surface to discover your strengths and make a plan to take on the challenges you are facing in life. I am especially equipped to help adolescents, marriages and families.

Are you ...Anxious? ...Depressed? Does it seem that you are in constant conflict with your partner? Is there a growing distance in your relationship? Do you seem to be in perpetual turmoil with your children? Are you hurting and life is just not what you had hoped it would be? Make an appointment with me today so we can begin the process of reconnecting you with your strengths, dreams and hopes. What you had envisioned for your life may still be possible. I look forward to working with you toward that future.

My approach is collaborative, ie, we figure out together what's going on and how best to work towards better outcomes. My patients are children, adolescents and their families, couples and adults - young and old. I have a good deal of experience with acting-out behaviors, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma-based behaviors. While some difficulties can be more skillfully dealt with, I am skeptical that life's problems can be 'resolved' forever and ever. Emotions and thoughts will forever arise, offering endless opportunities to learn different responses, ultimately transforming habitual reactions into conscious responses that work better for us.

I provide psychotherapy and counseling to treat a range of emotional and behavioral issues for adults, couples and families. You may be seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, trauma, PTSD, relationship and marital problems, and life transitions. I do my best to understand your presenting issues and concerns. By providing support, guidance and understanding I can help you to gain insight and wisdom, and work through difficult and painful feelings and conflicts. I encourage you to self-activate, understand yourself better, change unhealthy behavior and live with a greater sense of ease and well being.

From teens to seniors, individuals or couples, from people searching for a little motivation or clarity in their life, to those in need of processing complex trauma, I am available to provide support for a broad range of needs and goals.
