PRIVATE-PRACTICE LPC 

License No. R3940 Oregon 

Instructor Psychology

In my practice, I primarily work with adults and families facing various mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, intimacy issues, communication problems, and life transitions. I utilize evidence-based treatment to promote mental health and wellness. I also enjoy working with those who nervous about starting therapy or have never experienced couples or family estrangement counseling.

I specialize in identifying challenges and creating personalized treatment strategies that promote healing and growth, particularly for anxiety, depression, loss, and life transitions.

 

  • ​Decrease Anxiety

  • Decrease Depression

  • Increase Confidence & Joy

​

Couples therapy is a process where you and your partner have a safe place to learn and practice :

​

  • Healthy Communication 

  • Decrease feelings of shame & blame 

  • Increased Intimacy & love

​

Has a family member canceled you? Do you regret canceling someone?

​Fortunately, there is a way to heal family estrangement. 

​

  • Increase good communication skills

  • Decrease criticisms and negative emotions

  • Increase understanding acceptance of differences

Also, I have been a university instructor, teaching a variety of classes: Nonverbal Communication, Interaction of Mind-body Awareness, Biological Psychology, Psychology as a Natural Science, Psychology of Personal and Social Adjustment, and Viewing Dance. I enjoy creating networks and understanding human behavior and experiences with mind and body awareness while using good, reliable, and valid research.
