My direct, down-to-earth therapy style works well for those who may have been hesitant to seek counseling in the past. I work hard to dispel some common myths held by young people and people of color that…
“Only crazy people go to a therapist.”
“Going to a therapist means you are not right.”
“It doesn't make any sense to tell a stranger all your business.”
“I can handle things myself”
My undergraduate studies were at Spelman College and I was awarded my Master’s degree in Social Work from Portland State University. Over the years, I’ve had substantial experience working with adolescents, young adults and people of color, and I’ve developed a specializations in mixed ethnicity, identity, adjustment, eating and body image issues, relationship issues, trauma and abuse. I’ve worked in a variety of settings with teen parents, adolescents, medically fragile children dealing with ethnic identity issues, adoption, depression, child abuse counseling and prevention, and eating disorders. I welcome children, teens, individual adults, couples and families to my practice.
The quality of the relationship between counselor and client is central to making progress in therapy, so I offer a complementary initial consultation to be certain that the match is a good one. My hope is that if I am not the person to work with, I can still help you find the right place to go, or the right counselor to meet your needs.
If we do decide to continue, my fees are $120 for a 50 minute session and I offer a sliding fee scale to prevent finances from being a barrier to treatment. I do require payment of cash or check at the time of service.
Call me at 503-975-7499 or send me an email to schedule a first appointment.

Do you need someone to listen?
Are you having difficulty making decisions or being motivated?
Do you suffer from low self-esteem? Do you need a safe place?
If so, I believe I can help. My goal is to provide a safe place, a listening ear and an open heart free of judgment.
I believe in working in the here and now, finding links to past experiences, strengths, support networks and your ability to grow. It is important that an individual feels safe and free to discuss thoughts, fears, and emotions. I have a straight forward, direct approach infused with humor and empathy to help you find your strengths and become the person you want to be. I believe each individual has the strength to make changes, the ability to make choices and is in control of the path to a healthier future.
I have a Master's of Arts degree in Counseling from George Fox University and experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I have assisted women, children and teens find their strength and their voice. I continue my professional growth through workshops, seminars and other trainings so I can better serve you.
I believe that therapy should be available to anyone and will work to make therapy affordable. My standard fee is $60 per hour, however, I offer a sliding fee scale to all clients and our first 50 minute consultation is free. At this time, I do not accept insurance. Payment is made by cash or check at each appointment.

Therapy provides a safe place to explore your feelings about people and situations in your life, as well as yourself. It also allows a chance for greater self-understanding and acceptance, including understanding how past experiences shape the way we view others and ourselves. I offer a warm, supportive and accepting environment to help you through this process.
The individual and group counseling I provide is a blend of cognitive-behavioral and humanistic existential, depending on the needs of the client. Through our work together we will build upon and grow your strengths while discovering new tools, which can help you overcome challenges you may be facing. During the counseling process clients can be helped to understand themselves better, set personal goals, and have caring and unconditional support while working toward those goals.
I received my Masters in Counseling in 2006 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have experience working in private practice, psychiatric hospitals and within the school system, but I have found I especially enjoy the unique partnership that private practice provides.
My standard fee is $70 for individual sessions, and I'm glad to offer a generous sliding fee scale to clients suffering financial hardship. Please don't hesitate to ask, regardless of your circumstances. At this time I do not accept insurance, although I may be able to match my fee to your co-payment cost.

When you're right in the middle of a hard decision... "Should I stay and commit to this relationship or should I get out now?"
"Look for a new job or go back to school?"
"Have a baby???"
Those are among the moments that it can really, really help to reach out to a good therapist.
And I'd be delighted to help you work through that hard spot.
My style is warm, open, honest, straightforward, and unbiased. My practice is inclusive and I work with individuals and couples from every walk and way of life -- LGBTQ, straight, poly, monogamous, kink. With every client or couple, I bring an attitude of respect, curiosity and willingness to the process of therapy.
I can help people approach problems in a shorter term, more solution focused way, or I can provide long term, more depth-oriented support for more entrenched or complicated issues. I also am experienced in providing long-term support, on a weekly or biweekly basis for people with ongoing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and bi-polar disorder who have incorporated regular counseling appointments into their self care regimen. If therapy is expected to be long term, I am happy to offer a reduced fee to make it as affordable as possible for you.
I make available a no-cost 20-30 minute phone or in person consult for new clients who are "therapist shopping," and if it's not a good fit, or if you're looking for a family counselor I have a wonderful network of referral sources that I would be happy to provide to you. Looking forward to hearing from you!

My counseling specialties include:
> Relationship Stress
> Child and Parenting Stress
> Trauma
> Depression & Anxiety
Often times when we suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma or abuse we begin to feel isolated, misunderstood, weighted down or experience mood changes or other symptoms. Our relationships become strained and it is difficult to see that life could be any different than how it feels in the moment and our own strengths become overshadowed by the difficulties we are experiencing.
I believe individuals have the potential to change and ultimately are striving toward emotional, mental and social satisfaction. I can help you achieve that goal by examining the connection between your behaviors, thoughts and feelings, and safely guiding you toward powerful change resulting in an optimum state of mental health.
I employ a solution focused, strength based approach that assists individuals, couples and families toward positive mental and emotional growth. I am trained in EMDR therapy which can be a very effective treatment for many mental health concerns.
My standard fee is $70 per 50 minute session. I happily offer a discounted rate on a sliding scale to make my services available to anyone who is seeking positive change, so please contact me before turning away from services due to cost.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation to meet with you and discuss your goals so we can determine together if my services would be a good fit for you. Go ahead, give me a call, text, or email to begin making positive changes for yourself.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with adults, ages 18
and up. I specialize in assessment for and treatment of: anxiety,
depression, mood lability, troublesome habits and interpersonal
difficulties. My work style is informed by curiosity and is
collaborative, supportive and informal. I am skilled with cognitive
and behavioral therapy techniques and have found these, along with
irreverence, to be powerful tools for change.
I've found that a therapeutic relationship alone is often enough to
permit people to become "unstuck" when feeling trapped, frustrated or
hopeless. Still, at times, the addition of medication can be invaluable
in facilitating positive change. I would be happy to speak with you
briefly - in person or by phone - to determine if we could work well
together in moving through your life's challenges.

My therapeutic practice reflects my dual loves – psychology and education. The men and women I work with are generally good problem solvers but, due to the emotional nature of their issue(s), they need an empathic witness to their situation and work well in active collaboration toward achieving clarity and purpose again.
As a therapist I am honored to be a part of client’s journey toward integrity. Together we discover and clarify the individual’s core values and how they can be used more consistently to drive their choices and actions. A person’s drive toward a life of integrity is a courageous act that deserves non-judgmental support.
My psycho-educational style of counseling is practical, warm, humorous, informative, and always empathic. I hold degrees in psychology (BA) and counseling (MA) and I am a member of the National Association of Certified Counselors. I have worked with men and women seeking help with depression, anxiety, stress, grief & loss, career changes, job & school anxiety, improving relationships, and life planning. I offer a safe and structured environment where I challenge clients to explore ideas and options that will move them forward in this experiment we call adulthood.
I am also a member of the National Education Association. As an instructor I have taught classes and facilitated workshops in psychology, men and depression, human relations, parenting, career development, personality styles, parenting inter-cultural awareness, college success & survival skills, and goal setting.
I also offer Success Groups that meet once a week for 10 weeks. This is not a therapy group. It is a group where every member comes to declare their intention to succeed in achieving their stated purpose. Every member brings their idea, dream or goal - something they’ve always wanted to explore or accomplish. It is a place where one’s original plans can change and lead in new and exciting directions. It is a safe and respectful place to share successes and setbacks. It’s fun, challenging, and rewarding no matter which direction your original idea turns.
If you are interested in counseling or my next Success Group I encourage you to contact me at the phone number or the email listed above. I look forward to meeting you.
