Who I am I'm fully qualified to help you and I've been through hard times too! I am fully qualified: I have lived and practiced in Portland since 1997. I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the State of Oregon (#L2953), certified as a Traumatologist by the Traumatology Institute (#1378), certified by the State of Oregon in Drug and Alcohol treatment. I am a member of the National and Local Associations for Clinical Social Workers, and a past member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, and the Society for Spirituality in Social Work. I have many skills / tools to teach you: I have practiced EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for 8 years, and I have advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I have integrated some of Donna Eden's energy medicine techniques in my practice. For couples counseling I have taken the Gottman Institute training "Marriage Therapy, A Research-Based Approach," and, I have integrated into my couple's work some of the methods found in the book, 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work, by John Gottman, Ph.D, which I highly recommend! I also have done training with the Couple's Institute, and highly recommend Tell Me No Lies, How to Face the Truth and Build a Loving Marriage, by Ellyn Bader, Ph.D. and her husband Peter Pearson, Ph.D. My clients seem to get comfort from knowing that I've been through hard times, and met many personal challenges myself. At one time, I desperately wanted to change my life, and when I did, I figured out what worked and what didn't. My work as a psychotherapist and helping others grow personal integrity, resilience and sustainability is how I express my gratitude for what I've learned. As my client, you'll benefit from my experience … and learn to appreciate the special exhilaration of personal growth! I consider myself, like you, a work in progress. It is a profound honor to be present at the moment when a client makes a fundamental shift in awareness. Let me help you experience the healing nature of compassion, non-judgment . . . and belly laughs! We will be a team to grow your INNER COURAGE™

 I have helped many, many people and it's likely I can help you, too.In addition to my private practice where I help a wide range of people and ages, I have provided counseling for male and female veterans who suffer from posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, fear, anxiety, anger, sexual trauma and addictions. I have run trauma, grief and loss groups for “survivors” as well as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) groups for stress relief and anger management. I combine cognitive behavioral therapy with intuition to reduce distress and promote positive change. I consult regularly with my peers on clinical issues, and constantly read and learn new ways that individuals and couples make positive change and create happiness.
