If you are in Oregon, Washington State, or Idaho (where I am Licensed as a psychologist), I would love to help you and your partner improve the quality of your relationship using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). This modality is attachment focused and helps you feel safe, secure, and connected. Also, I have many years of expert witness work in county and Tribal courts providing forensic psychological evaluations including parent capacity and high conflict divorce.
Having been a psychotherapist for over 40 years, I have studied and participated in extensive, intensive, and ongoing training, and learned from life experience. My work is trauma informed, culturally appropriate, and systems based. I strive first to protect children and help couples, families and individuals to feel safe, secure, and attached.
I promise to stay with you as a psychotherapist, to listen, focus, deeply understand, and create a safe and nurturing environment to facilitate your change process. This transparent, genuine, collaborative stance is carried into therapy and psychological assessment and treatment. I look forward to meeting you and working together.
