Clients say this provider is
I graduated in 1999 with a degree in counseling from Portland State University. I interned couple thousand hours, then took a quick 20 years off. I received my LMHC (License Mental Health Counselor) license at the beginning of 2024. I'm a well rounded counselor, with training in dealing with trauma and non-traditional couples. I like using an eclectic style, picking the strategies and tools from all around, to provide the best service to my client.
In our first session, we'll go over some basics around therapy, how it works, it's limitations, and your history. From there, we'll look at what I can do for you. You'll always be the one in charge! You can expect routine homework based on our discussions, and never any surprises--aside from the discoveries that you make about yourself. My therapy is very much "vision forward", accepting the present, with an understanding of our past--all with the idea of how we want to change.
I have a lot of flexibility in my interactions, and work hard to make sure that I can provide the best services I can. I'm accessible and honest, without being brutal about it. I share my education, because this isn't about me being an expert; this is about what can help you develop your own goals.
My greatest joy is putting myself out of a job! I like motivated clients who understand they have work to do, and I can help them find where to dig in.

While expertise in a single model or even several is great, people are individual and need different approaches. My experience in working with different modalities tailors itself to fit the needs of the person, rather than "one size fits all".
Dealing with trauma and intrusive thoughts? EMDR is a great technique to handle them. Expertise gained in certification and use.
I'm not certified in the Gottman method, only having trained in level one and two (out of 4). However, it has phenomenal utility and is a great source for couples work. Please note that couples counseling is NOT billed through insurance, and will be charged at $150/session to the client. (I'm happy to explain why if asked.)

He is warm, genuine, and truly caring. I can always depend on him to be honest and direct with me, while still making me feel heard and safe. I’m very grateful for his support and the trust I have in him.

He cuts to the chase and is prepared with a plan. He listens and hears and he speaks words of understanding but takes no BS. He is fair and respectful to both sides in couples counseling.

He tells you what you need to hear to get better and unstuck.
