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).
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 enjoy working with people on issues of:
Anxiety
Depression
Life changes
Parenting
Family changes
Grief and loss
LGBTQ issues
Interpersonal and relationship challenges
Self-esteem
Trauma
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 get back to you within 24 hours on regular business days.
