Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. Here, you’ll find descriptions of my clinical counseling and psychotherapy services, as well as information about the clinical supervision services and clinical consultation services that I provide for mental health professionals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Washington. My practice is based in Portland Oregon. I have more than 20 years of experience providing clinical mental health treatment for adult individuals with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and relationship problems of all kinds.

My approach to counseling and psychotherapy is trauma-informed and empowerment-focused. This means that I am committed to creating an environment of safety, empathy and validation where emotional healing can occur. It also means that I encourage each person to build their inner strength and internal resources as part of their healing journey. My work as a therapist is not only helping people work through past injuries and current difficulties, but also helping build resilience for future challenges.

My lifelong orientation to feminism is inclusive of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, religions and abilities.

Within that context, I have a special affinity for working with women, members of the adoption triad, breast cancer survivors, and with therapists as either clients or supervisees.
