Counseling Support on Life's Journey
Since 1993 I've been helping individuals, couples and families as a licensed therapist. I continue to provide therapy services to support more satisfying relationships, to help you manage emotions, reactions, improve communication skills, to improve self-awareness, and increase self-esteem and confidence. In this way, therapy reveals your innate wisdom on life's journey, leading you to a happier and authentic life. As I come alongside you, I also help through the discomfort of self-disclosure and the barriers to change.
Working toward your counseling goals, I'll support you and help you identify specific barriers that hold you back. The issues I support range from personal and professional transition issues, to the challenges with addictions, compulsions, anger and relationship issues and complex family and relationship dynamics.
Questions? Let's Talk.
If you have more questions, I offer a free brief consultation call to help you get started. You can learn more about my approach, determine fit and discuss how I can help you on your therapy goals. Contact me today to get started.
It's never too late to start on the life you want to live.

Therapy needs often overlap...and that's expected
Rarely does a person need help in just one area of their life. For example, anger management, substance use, and compulsivity can impact relationships. Anxiety and depression can impact personal motivation and beliefs about change. Therefore I support a variety of therapeutic areas and modalities to support you where your needs take you. Together, we'll work toward you developing the understanding and skills that will help you find greater satisfaction in life.
Most Common Therapy Services
While I offer counseling for clients and individuals with a variety of concerns and issues, the following are the most common services I provide. If you're not sure how I can help, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together is right for you.
Individual Counseling Services
Whether you are looking to develop new perspectives or take a closer look at some issues that hold you back, I can support you. Often, individual counseling supports those in couples, marital or family counseling. I am experienced at helping individuals work on concerns independently or alongside couples or family counseling. Working together, we'll find out what you need and work within the framework that helps identify and supports your goals.
Anger Management
If you are looking to work with anger issues (for yourself or someone else), I can support you in different ways.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING For those seeking to manage their anger, I offer 1-to-1 online therapy services in Oregon and Washington State. Using your unique experiences with anger, we'll work to build your understanding of your triggers and develop the skills and strategies to help you manage your emotions.
RESOURCES Gain knowledge and know-how to better manage your anger.
WORKSHOPS Organize a workshop for your group to help manage eruptive emotions.
Couples, Marriage & Family Counseling
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am experienced at helping couples and families in Oregon and Washigton State work through issues and develop stronger relationship skills in both group and one-on-one therapy settings. In building awareness and skills around group dynamics, emotional intelligence and conflict resolution, individuals can gain greater interpersonal capacities. When applied to their relationships, they can also experience greater harmony and happiness with family, partners and friends. Then, in bringing this new found awareness into a couple and/or family setting, these deeper understandings of self and other can lead to increased satisfaction and confidence in one's home lives.
Substance Use / Addiction Counseling
Substance use and abuse is a way many people go to escape the pain they feel inside. I can help you address the pain that pushes you to abandon yourself in substances and/or compulsive behaviors. I offer online therapy services in Oregon and Washington State for Substance Use and Addiction issues. Without judgement, we'll explore your inner experience and work at building skills to help you live a life beyond the confines of substance use.
