Therapists in Wilsonville, OR

Technically, I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT). Relationally, I am an empathetic listener and collaborator. I listen and then collaborate with you to discover the opportunities for progress and growth. I believe immediate change IS possible albeit in small steps. Change brings improvement. Improvement brings more change and the cycle continues. Breaking out of the old dead-end cycle and entering a cycle of growth and change is what I am all about.

Greetings. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in geropsychology and neuropsychology. I primarily complete neuropsychological assessments to give patients and doctors information about brain functioning (memory, decision making, etc).

I work with patients to use brain, emotional, and social strengths and resources to work around areas of weakness or problems.

As a psychologist specializing in children and adolescents I am best suited to provide a clear idea of problems, developing an effective treatment plan, working with families, schools and other support services to create effective positive change. Only by focusing on parents' concerns, supporting their parenting style can satisfactory treatment occur.

People typically come to see me because they are experiencing psychological distress and/or interpersonal difficulties. The in-depth look at these issues not only leads to symptom relief but to longterm change of dysfunctional and painful (sometimes unconscious) ways we may perceive and judge ourselves and to recognize and build on strengths. I enjoy being a psychotherapist in part because it is satisfying and exciting to see people become more insightful, effective and confident in each of the important areas of their lives. II have been doing this work for 35+ years and plan to continue for many years.

My deepest professional aspiration is to enable others to discover their own motivations for change and to find within themselves the ability to take responsibility for their thought life and thus find the power to take actions and thereby make dramatic and transformative changes in their lives. In working with individuals, couples, and groups, my aim is to foster self-esteem, coping skills and encourage building positive and supportive relationships. I work with individual clients, couples, and lead weekly therapy groups. Deep lasting change that is already beginning iswithin your grasp. Reach out, I'd be honored to work with you.

My practice focuses on people who want to enjoy greater peace and more satisfying relationships. I’m pleased to serve children, adolescents, and adults.
