Is your relationship falling apart?  Is your life out of control?  Are you having difficulty as a man? 

 

If you are struggling with issues around domestic violence, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, PTSD, addiction, problematic drug or alcohol use, depression, shame, and working with systems, then I would love to work with you.   

 

I believe that counseling can provide the space to make profound changes in people’s lives and that we all have the possibility to create happy, authentic lives for ourselves.  


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon and have worked as a mental health counselor for outpatient agencies and in private practice since graduating from Lewis & Clark College in 2008 with a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology.
 
I have been working with people in behavioral health since 2004 and offer individual and couples counseling services in my North Portland office.   

Areas of Clinical Interest:
I have worked most with people experiencing domestic violence, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, PTSD, addiction, problematic substance use, depression, shame, and men’s issues. 

   
Theoretical Orientation:
I believe that when we are approached with curiosity and care, that we can find the happiness and success that we desire.  I believe that the way we think can help us or harm us in life and that having a wise view of a situation leads to beautiful results. 

 

Payment:

Insurance: I am now paneled with BC/BS, Cigna, Reliant, Providence, United Behavior Health, Triwest, Optum, MHN, and Pacificsource.

Non insurance: I offer sliding scale services. 


If you have any questions, please call or email me.  I look forward to hearing from you.
