About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon and I have more than 15 years of clinical experience. The majority of my experience comes from working at the Oregon State Hospital and the Department of Corrections. I worked with adults suffering from PTSD, trauma related issues, Anxiety, Depression and behavioral concerns. I have worked with individuals who have both Axis 1 and Axis 2 diagnosed. I have recently moved into a private practice and I am available to work with adults and children.
I believe that each individual has the potential to change and move toward a healthy and satisfying lifestyle. In therapy, I draw on client strengths and provide opportunities to explore client thoughts, feeling, and behaviors to assist with client insight and awareness. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including but limited to Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive -Behavior Therapy, Motivation Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and Reality Model. I have also completed the requirements for Clinical Supervision.
I have completed several hours of training through PESI and Psychotherapy Networker. The majority of my training has centered around Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Autism, Self-Harm behavior's, Borderline Personality Disorder and Anxiety.
