I am on the preferred provider panels for Regence Blue Cross of Oregon, Reliant Behavioral Health, PacificSource, and Oregon's Health Co-Op. My services are also partly reimbursable under most insurance policies.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between a professional counselor and a client that facilitates the process of emotional growth and transformation.

Therapy helps by providing a supportive environment. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, a person may engage in more honest self-exploration leading to greater insight, more emotional openness to life's diverse experiences, and greater psychological flexibility.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

It's called a psychotherapy "practice" for a reason. This work provides ongoing opportunities for personal and professional growth. I can think of few other professions that require the level of personal integrity and commitment to learning as does psychotherapy. Of course, the most rewarding aspect of being a therapist is having helped another human being find relief from emotional suffering, and greater balance and meaning in life.
