In my work I combine aspects of
Gestalt
Therapy with character analytic and body-centered Reichian Therapy to provide a holistic, relational, and experiential approach to change.
With the right person therapy can be collaborative, creative, deeply effective, and can help with immediate problems or long-standing struggles. People are naturally vibrant and healthy, but our access to this vibrancy often becomes blocked as we are forced to adjust to life's challenges. I help people gain awareness of how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves, find ways to remove blocks to emotional growth, and move towards a life that feels more connected and alive. This work can be highly effective both with individuals and couples.

I employ cognitive behavioral and
Gestalt
therapies, mindfulness, and psychodynamic, attachment, queer, and feminist theory.
I provide services to individuals, couples, and families, specializing in culturally competent therapy for Portland's LGBTQ community. I work with clients of various sexual, gender, and cultural backgrounds to address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, and life transitions. I collaborate with clients & their other providers to determine the focus and nature of therapy. I believe all people are oriented towards health and growth, but sometimes develop problematic ways of thinking, acting, being, and interacting. In therapy we explore areas of your life to find ways of being that help you feel more contented, balanced, and effective.

Currently not accepting new clients. Have you found yourself saying, "I've got to stop doing this", only to do it again? Do you feel stuck, unmotivated, sad, anxious, or are you plagued by painful emotions/memories? I've worked with hundreds of people who have struggled with similar concerns. Working together we've found ways to get unstuck and onto a path of increased self-esteem and happiness. Whether the issue is putting unhealthy food or substances into your body, managing emotions, or not effectively communicating, I'm here to help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck and gain control.

It's not too difficult to get the skeletons out of the closet with people, but to get the gold out is a different matter. That is therapy. I help individuals and couples experience life-changing results. Devote more than 30 years of near-daily focus to always learning, continuously improving, and passionately doing something really well, and as you might guess, you'll probably end up doing it pretty dang well.

Are you living life to the fullest? What do you need to help you thrive?
Sometimes counseling is focused on coping and healing. Sometimes it's more about personal or relational growth and awareness. It is an honor when people come and are able to trust enough to begin the counseling work.
Counseling is such a courageous undertaking. It begins with listening and respect, evolving into a cooperative effort.
I strive to offer my clients a safe place to start and a balanced perspective in the change process. I hope I can help you come to a place of wellbeing.

As a therapist, my goal in therapy is to help you identify changes you want to make and create a path together to make those changes that lead you to “out-grow” therapy. I am solution focused, utilizing action-oriented therapies, with over 30 years of clinical experience treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I have extensive experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings with strong therapeutic, crisis intervention and educational skills that lead to decreasing negative symptoms and increasing productivity and feeling better.

Are you struggling with burnout, stress, adjusting to new circumstances, or feeling incapable of meeting your goals? Do you feel dissatisfied within your family or intimate relationships? Maybe you just need someone who will really listen and understand? We are all unique; the experiences we've had - whether personal, social, or communal - can lead to internalized negative messages that prevent us from becoming our authentic, fulfilled selves. In my care, we will work together through these obstacles and grow your confidence, increase insight, and create more fulfillment in your relationships with others and within yourself.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS from Oregon & Washington. Anxiety, depression, shame, stress, overwhelm, emptiness, or burn out are some normal responses to life challenges. As social beings, we benefit deeply from supportive people and environments that assist us in uncovering and integrating the wisdom of our minds, bodies and emotions to return to our essential selves--the part that is unshaped by adaptation to difficult experiences. It is my honor to be present and help facilitate people finding their inner strengths, true self, abilities and qualities they didn't fully realize they own as they release the negative effects of the past.

I believe that we all experience struggles in life, both within ourselves and through challenging circumstances. These struggles can result in trauma, anxiety, depression, brain and body changes, influence our sense of self-worth, identity, belief in our abilities, the world around us, and otherwise limit us . So often, these struggles can impact our relationships, career, and long-term well-being. Clients who want to address these, and other, concerns head on in a supportive manner with a trauma lens and utilize treatment guided by science and a neuro-biological approach would enjoy my approach to therapy.
