My Approach

My counseling specialty is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This is an intensive treatment through which I assist people struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder or other issues related to emotion dysregulation. I draw on DBT to address other problems. I also use CBT, Psychodynamic therapy and other approaches. I also provide clinical supervision to students and experienced clinicians in Oregon and Washington. I lead a group supervision in Portland. Finally, I have extensive training to provide services for the needs of African Americans, Hispanics, Older Adults and Sexual Minorities.

My Background

I received a Masters in Psychology Degree from Antioch University, Seattle in 1989. I am licensed as a professional counselor in both Oregon and Washington. I am a Master Addictions Counselor and is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Oregon (CADCIII). I hold national and state credentials as an Approved Clinical Supervisor and has supervised and mentored many, many younger clinicians. I am a past secretary/treasurer of the Oregon Mental Health Counselors Association where in 2009 I won a Distinguished Service Award “for substantial contribution to the citizens of Oregon and the counseling profession."
