A Safe Place to Talk About Your Thoughts and Feelings

Psychological counseling plays a vital role in promoting mental health and overall well-being. It provides individuals with a safe and confidential space to express their thoughts and emotions, helping them navigate life’s challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Through guided conversations and evidence-based techniques, counseling fosters self-awareness, builds coping skills, and encourages personal growth. It also helps individuals identify and address deep-rooted issues, empowering them to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives. Seeking counseling is not a sign of weakness but a proactive step toward mental resilience and emotional stability.

Counseling Services

I offer psychological counseling for individuals, couples and families. I enjoy seeing people in person and virtually. My office is located in the Oregon City Wellness Center close to the Willamette Falls Hospital.

If circumstances in your life or the lives of someone you know are causing you to consider talking with a therapist and you have questions about how psychotherapy can be helpful, I encourage you to explore my website.

On a regular basis I continue my education by attending seminars related to my interest in families and adults

How Can Therapy Help You?

Have there been times when your life seemed to lack purpose or meaning?

Perhaps there have been times when your life lacked a sense of joy or satisfaction.

Many times in our lives we come to a point where we feel either stuck or at an impasse. We’ve tried various ways of coping over and over again hoping for new results, but often coming to the same impasse.

How I Work?

How I Work With People

I create a comfortable environment in my office where people feel safe to share. It is my belief that each of us is unique in our histories and in the strengths that we bring to a situation. Part of the experience of therapy is to identify the strengths and successes we have had in our lives and to discover how these things can impact the current concerns we are facing.

I view therapy as something like traveling on a journey. People invite me to join them for a while. We look at where they have been and where they are now.
