About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Therapist in Oregon and Missouri with over 20 years of experience working as a Therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, couples and family therapy. I can incorporate a faith based approach if this is the client's desire.

My therapeutic style is reflective listening, encouragement, warm personality, however direct when I need to be if the client chooses this approach. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and strengths based, solution focused and collaborative problem solving. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe stepping out of your comfort zone can be very daunting, however courageous as you look for changes, challenges and overcoming barriers. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
