Are you struggling with anxiety, processing a painful life event, or moving through a major life transition? Is it time to start putting your wellbeing first? I aspire to create a space where you feel empowered to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and take the lead in your healing, while my role is to be a
partner
in your process. I am dedicated to client-centered, trauma-informed care and approach my work with the belief that we grow from our painful experiences, life transitions, and challenges. We can use the awareness and strength that comes from those experiences to become who we are meant to be.

I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults,
couples
and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy;
couples counseling
: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.

Couples
seek online intensives to help repair current hurts or crises in their relationship or longstanding negative patterns.
Romantic relationships are tricky, if not treacherous. We long to feel important and understood and we expect love and intimacy to last a lifetime. But so often, our love relationships leave us feeling wounded, disillusioned, and discouraged. While there is never a guarantee of safety or security in relationships, there is the real possibility for depth, comfort, connection, and radiant joy.
Couples
therapy helps us confront the heal the deep wounds, discover new parts of ourselves, and find a safe haven in our relationships. Intensive
Couples
Therapy is a short-term, in-depth and focused approach to helping
couples
in distress.

Some of us come to therapy because we are suffering, or feeling stuck, around a particular issue. Other times, we arrive with a readiness to explore long held beliefs or feelings that are no longer serving us. Some of us have painful experiences from our past that are asking to be looked at, so that we can move forward in our lives, without fear. My goal, as a therapist, is to support individuals and
couples
to do that work in a way that feels safe and honest.

As a fully licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone has a desire to be successful in their life, but sometimes lack the skills or supports to achieve that goal. My non-judgemental approach will help you feel more comfortable facing the difficulties that are causing you to feel incomplete. Counseling can be an active, dynamic process, that can be exciting, challenging, and even enjoyable! I work with individuals, as well as

What type of Portland mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
