My Background

Reed College, BA Psychology; Lewis & Clark College, MA Psychology; Pacific University, Psy.D. Clinical Psychology. In private practice as a psychologist since 1989. Specialized training in alcoholism, addiction, trauma, couples counseling, family counseling and improving relationships in closely held or family owned businesses.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I am fascinated by human resilience, human relationships and our capacity for growth. I value community, collaboration; people's willingness to be helpful and loving to one another. I cherish people's ability to look into their situations, review their options and revise their choices. Sometimes life can be very difficult; with commitment, persistence and support life's difficulties can be managed. If we can't overcome - we can learn to cope.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Couples Counseling External link

    I work with couples who are moving into commitment and those who want to improve relationships that have become strained. I especially enjoy work with those who share responsibility for closely-held businesses. I work with couples to prevent divorce when that is possible; to help it be a compassionate process when dissolution is inevitable.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Family Conflict External link

    Our family connections are the core of our sense of safety. I work with families to heal breaches, resolve interpersonal aggravations, to foster and support mutual affection and collaboration.

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    When our emotional intimate partnerships are challenged we feel groundless, cast adrift. I work with individuals and partners to examine their state of mind and emotion as they work through relationship challenges. My objective is to help people move toward healthy and satisfactory resolutions.

  • Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence External link

    I have worked with women and men in their processes of growth and recovery since 1985. My approach includes attention to the developmental, biological, social and emotional elements of alcohol or drug abuse/dependence. I support the personal changes necessary to grow away from self-harming behavior.

  • Depression External link

    Depression and/or anxiety can be chronic, rooted in painful/traumatic early experience, or situational, reactive to an overwhelming situation or current events. Depression and anxiety involve biology, behavior and expectations. Working one's way out of a depressive state requires commitment, support and action. I support and facilitate growth through and beyond depression and anxiety.
