As your counselor, I will to listen to you from a non-judgmental and open perspective offering unconditional respect and regard. Throughout life, we adapt to the best of our capabilities, yet sometimes we don't have enough support, information or resources to make optimal decisions. As a result, we can end up adopting thoughts, feelings, or a way of living that can be harmful to ourselves and possibly others. You can use your therapy time to identify what no longer works and then make the changes you desire. From a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral framework, I teach techniques you can apply right away. I support healing and help you reach your goals by drawing upon empirically-based treatment modalities, personal creativity, humor and even wilderness experiences. Unique to my practice, I offer counseling sessions in-office and outdoors. If you would like an expanded therapeutic experience, you might benefit from wilderness immersion counseling. When in nature, we can break from our routines and daily patterns. This freedom enables us to think, feel and do different. Each wilderness immersion session is specifically tailored to meet your personal needs and therapeutic goals. Whether at my Multnomah Village office, a local park or immersed in the wilderness, I can support you in building tolerance, finding acceptance and making life changes at a pace that is comfortable for you.
