My approach to healing is grounded in strengths theory, utilizing and highlighting our innate resilience to support individuals on their journey through challenging times. Too often in our busy day to day activities paired with the fast paced demands of our society we spend much of our time focused on what's wrong, what we don't have, and t
When we talk about grief and trauma, it’s important to recognize that they often show up in similar ways, and one can deeply affect the other.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire.

As an empath, intuitive, or highly sensitive person, you experience this world in a deeper, more complex, and intuitive way. You feel the joys and pains of other beings as if they were your very own. You feel and absorb everything around you within your own body – other people’s feelings, the energy of nature, the quality of events goin
I founded The Portland Couples Counseling Center on the guiding belief that with the proper support, encouragement, counseling, and education every couple is capable of having the relationship they truly desire and deserve.
My dream, and driving conviction --the passion that gets me out of bed in the morning-- is the belief that couples form the
I have been in practice since 1994. In my experience change, growth and healing is possible in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship. My approach is to guide you in getting to know parts of yourself you may have only had a glimmer of in the past and to learn more about other parts you may already know. We will increase your access to and
I want to help you feel better.
