In addition to my private practice, I am currently providing therapy in a federally funded agency for children, adolescents and families.

I believe people have incredible wisdom and resiliency, and the ability to create meaningful and satisfying lives. At times, however, almost everyone can benefit from support and assistance. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than thirty years experience providing that support and assistance to adults, adolescents, couples and families.
My approach to therapy is to start where you are and work with you toward where you want to be. Your goal may be specific and practical, involving choices and changes and new skills; or it may be something more complex, calling for deeper and perhaps longer term commitment to therapy. Therapy can be stressful, especially in the beginning, but it has been my experience that for clients who are strongly committed to their goals, and to learning and discovering how to more effectively use their wisdom and strengths, the rewards are great.
My areas of expertise include: coping with depression and anxiety, grief, loss and trauma; coping with life transitions and challenges such as illness, divorce and job loss; parenting including issues of step-parenting and blended families; improving relationships, and improving self-esteem and satisfaction with one's daily life.
I am committed to affordable therapy. My standard fee is $40 per session, with adjustments in some cases based on financial need. I welcome your call or e-mail, so we may discuss your goals and whether I might be the right therapist for you.

I believe each of us is capable of achieving more than what we might have settled for up to now. am interested in helping my clients reach their goals in a setting that is supportive and inspiring. My therapeutic orientations include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution focused, trauma resolution, growing in healthy relationships and learning to be and stay calmer and more peaceful. A more focused spiritual orientation is available for those who desire this, as is working with visualization. I like to work and attune with my clients to find the approach that best works for them.
I have a background in Eastern practices, and have been doing various practices for over 30 years. I have training in mindfulness and other meditation practices and am familiar with non-dual traditions. I am also the equivalent of a Reiki master. I have studied Science of Mind and other positive thinking approaches and know that these can work! Having lived out of the country for a few years, I enjoy working with people from various cultures.
My MSW was awarded from the University of Hawaii and I earned my license working in a variety of agencies in Oregon. I have a Substance Abuse certificate and have worked with this population, including dual diagnosis. I studied at the Family Therapy Institute of Washington D.C. and studied hypnotherapy and rapid eye therapy. I’ve worked with children, adolescents and families and have experience in crisis line counseling and psychiatric rehabilitation. I specialize in helping clients with relationship issues, and recovery from addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss.
Regarding financial reimbursement - As a licensed professional, most insurance companies will provide payment for my services on the 'out-of-network' plan which means that your co-pay may be slightly higher. I also do sliding scale, $90 to $40, plus slots for some who need something even less than this. I offer a free 1/2 hr. consultation.
I look forward to meeting you!

As a woman of color, youth development specialist, and an advocate for healthy living, I have chosen to focus my practice on adolecent girls and women. As a woman, there are so many roles and expectations to fulfill. And as an adolescent, life can seem so confusing, unfair, and uncertain.
For the past 14 years, I have enjoyed learning from adolescents and families about the issues important to their everday living. Life is full of ups and downs. And with loss, disappointment, pain, and sadness; there is hope, opportunity and challenge. I enjoy being a part of this journey and helping others overcome obstacles that "get in the way". I provide guidance and support for adolescent girls and women looking to improve their relationships, communication skills, self-esteem, emotions management, and overall health.
Sometimes we feel stuck in our situations. In order to make certain changes to positively impact our lives, we need to shift how we think and how we internalize our problems and stressors. Having a strengths based foundation, I draw from your unique assets and from Solution focused, Cognitive behavioral (CBT) and Narrative therapies (NT). As you share your story (goals, needs, and hopes) with me, we will consider your environment that surrounds you and will look at your past, present, and future to identify problems and solutions. By providing a safe place for you to explore your personal story, you will gain skills to problem solve, let go, bring to awareness, and resolve in order to self-improve.
We may address...
* Adolescent Issues
* Life transitions, Goals, Balance
* Motivational Barriers and Procrastination
* Stress, Emotions, Anger Management
* Ethnic Identity, Acculturation, Coping style, and Psychological distress
* Anxiety, Depression, Trauma
* Loss or Grief
* Relationship issues
* Time management
* Career choice, Personal Development, and Burn-out
Are you ready for the journey, challenge, and opportunity?
My standard fee is $95 per 50 minute session. Sliding scale fees are available. I offer a free 30-minute consultation for us to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit.

I am a mental health counselor who specializes in art therapy with a humanistic and holistic approach to help gain personal awareness. My areas of focus include life transitions, including pregnancy and post partum, relationships, heading to college, multicultural assimilation, parent/child communication and making new life decisions.
When engaging in therapy, it can be difficult to describe your experiences or needs in words alone. As a Registered Art Therapist, I can help you find how art and visual imagery can provide a release when you’re feeling mentally or verbally “stuck”. Overwhelming emotions can make life feel like a tangled mess. Together, we can work through them, until things fall into place more clearly. My approach is flexible, and we can map out a path that suits your personal needs in therapy. To find out if we would be a good fit, I offer a free initial consultation. My fee is $75 for a 50-minute session; I also offer a sliding scale for special financial situations.
I received my master’s degree in art therapy from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2006. I have been practicing a combination of traditional talk and art therapy in Portland, providing solution-focused counseling to meet individual needs. Because I am not a psychologist, I do not offer testing or diagnosis or offer to treat a "disorder." Instead, I focus on working with YOU, the individual, to help you gain personal awareness to manifest your goals. Let’s see what we can figure out together for a more peaceful and fulfilling life experience.

It is my belief that when we feel healthy, educated and empowered, we make better decisions and are able to appreciate the varied experiences we encounter in life. I also believe that every individual has the power within themselves to make positive changes. My role is to help you find that power, embrace it, and work with it to make the needed changes happen.
I received my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University, and it was there that I developed a passion for researching and treating anxiety disorders. In practicing evidence-based treatments for anxiety, my belief in the healing ability of therapy has only strengthened. For the past 6 years, I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults, both individually as well as in residential settings. Over this time, I have witnessed the paralyzing effects of anxiety, especially in everyday living.
Do you feel frustrated, scared and exhausted because you experience…
• Worrying all the time
• Intrusive negative thoughts
• Sudden panic without understanding why
• Feeling restricted in what you feel safe doing or where you feel safe going
• Extreme nervousness being around or in front of people
People telling you that you:
• Worry too much • Collect too much stuff • Should ‘just relax’
There are many different therapy approaches available to you. My general approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because research has shown that this type of therapy can be very effective in treating many problems, especially anxiety, depression, and substance abuse disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers a goal-oriented framework where we can track progress and measure change as we work together. This approach allows us to explore past experiences, yet keep the focus on the “here and now” while in treatment.
I believe that therapy is most effective when we actively work together; I commit to providing you with support, knowledge, and encouragement as you gain all that you need to eventually become your own therapist.
One unique aspect to my practice is that I offer therapy sessions in the community and, if appropriate, in your home. Research has found that when treatment for anxiety is provided in the natural environment, symptoms are alleviated more fully. My goal is to help you feel healthier, empowered, and more in control of your life.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation, and my schedule permits appointments on Saturdays. My fee for 50 minute therapy sessions is $65.00 per session. I also offer sliding scale fees to those that qualify.

My goal is to work with you to discover which of these approaches will be best suited to your current needs, and utilize it in our work together.

As a therapist with more than ten years experience in the field of substance abuse and behavioral addictions, I've helped many, many people tackle these and other hard issues: anxiety, depression, grief, loss and trauma. When an individual is held hostage by chemical or behavioral addictions, so often they also begin to experience deteriorating health, conflicted relationships and the overwhelming emotions related to legal and financial problems.
I firmly believe that positive change is achievable through making personally informed choices. I am honored to support you in moving toward that goal. Having the support of a trained professional who can listen carefully, challenge existing assumptions, and offer new insights and approaches can make a huge difference.
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Smith College, and have counseled both individuals and groups over the decade of my professional experience.
I offer an initial free consultation -- This is not a counseling appointment, but an opportunity to meet one another and see if I'm the right counselor to meet your needs. If you're interested in talking more with me about your concerns, please call me at 404-862-6763, or email me and I'll get right back to you.
