Welcome

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I have practiced in and around Portland for years, working independently and as a team member in outpatient and intensive day treatment settings. I have taught coursework in counseling locally and cross-culturally.

I am trained in systemic family therapy. I utilize a variety of techniques to assist clients on their journey of personal healing including:

  • Communication skills building
  • Understanding and expressing emotions
  • Exploring interpersonal relationships
  • Gaining understanding of one’s relationship with food
  • Clarifying and strengthening boundaries with self and others

I believe the strength and quality of the therapeutic relationship is key to successful treatment of emotional and psychological concerns. I will work with you to gain a clearer understanding of your concerns and make a plan to address them. I bring compassion and objectivity to help you restore balance in your life.

Notice Regarding COVID-19

I am scheduling tele-health sessions currently in accordance with social distancing measures recommended by the government as the struggle against the COVID-19 outbreak continues. Due to broad increase in governmental support for tele-health, I am able to accept any insurance to cover the cost of tele-health sessions.
