About
The greatest joy comes when clients break free of painful patterns and move to feeling comfortable with life. I've been a counselor for 30 years, with extensive experience helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions. Getting at underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works there's more than just insight; clients feel it in their heart as well as their head. Those around them see that they have a life worth living with more happiness and better handling of the inevitable potholes. With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I work with clients to draw on their strengths while honoring the difficulty of change. If desired, I have advanced training in DBT to help clients develop the skills they need. I am proud to be an independent practitioner with Pacific Premier Group. Licensed in Oregon and New York, I am a nationally certified counselor and certified addictions counselor. I provide consultation/training to hospitals, religious congregations, government agencies and private corporations with a special focus on crisis de-escalation.
