Portland therapist: About Me
A Portland Therapist: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon and a nationally Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I received an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from Purdue University (1994) but quickly realized a personal need to use art in a way that could directly benefit others and the community. I returned to school at College of Notre Dame in Belmont, CA where I received a Masters Degree in Marital & Family Therapy and Art Therapy (1999). I have completed extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy in recent years and continue to be involved in this community and learning.
My therapy space is part office, part studio. The creative art process is a resource that can be accessed as part of the therapy session, or making art can be used as the main format of our sessions together. I realize that making art is not everyone’s cup of tea, so we do not need to use art as part of therapy to work together.
I have worked with infants to adults, families to large treatment groups in a variety of treatment settings. I currently work with children, ages 10+, adults, couples and families in their quest for change and personal growth. I am passionate about helping people live full lives, and I am honored to be a part of the process. I work with people on issues of:
Anxiety
Depression
Life changes
Family changes
Grief and loss
LGBTQ individuals / relationships
Creativity
Interpersonal and relationship challenges
Self-esteem / self-development
Trauma - survivors of violence and their loved ones
If you would like to talk further and see if we may be a match to work together, please call me at 971-235-4950. If I am not available at the time of your call, I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours on regular business days.
