Therapists in Gladstone, OR

Humor. You may feel stuck, uncertain or nervous about your life right now. While I take this very serious I find that people enjoy being able to talk to a "real" person. From what I hear I'm "real" largely because of my sense of humor. The goal is not to have fun but to find your healthy self. I just believe that being a good clinician doesn't mean you have to be "clinical". Sometimes laughter is the best medicine, or if nothing else, a great vehicle! Let's roll up our sleeves and move forward toward getting better.

I have a direct and sarcastic style with strong language when left unchecked. My struggle with ADD occasionally makes it difficult for me to wrap up sentences neatly. Despite not always presenting a polished exterior, my personal journey of self-discovery, therapeutic expertise, and a decade of mental health education enable me to help you find inner peace. Let's collaborate and set out on a path to enrich your life. After all, what's there to lose?

Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from you.
