phone: (503) 860-1227My therapeutic focus helps people reduce their stress and learn to navigate adversity with more self-compassion, clarity, and ease. I have over 15 years experience working with adults and families facing complex issues related to parenting, family and relationships, adult children of impaired parents, recovery from addictions, aging, grief and loss, career shifts, physical injury and illness, and symptoms associated with depression and anxiety.
My approach is direct, compassionate and supportive. Along with conventional talk-therapy, I often incorporate gentle movement, mind-body awareness practices, and the use of art materials. These approaches improve self-awarenesss by demonstrating how thoughts and emotions influence and are influenced by the body's response to distress.
My goal for those seeking help is to facilitate a safe exploration of ways to gain more satisfaction and contentment in life. The mind-body awareness skills you learn will help you develop healthier, more satisfying responses to all that life presents - the good, the bad, and all the in-between.
