Therapy for a Better Life

Are you looking for balance in your life? Are you having a difficult time with your child or partner?
Do you feel stuck?

Sometimes a counselor can help you find your way. I am a marriage and family therapist who can help you get back into your groove.

Everyone has strengths, but we occasionally fall into patterns that prevent us from seeing solutions to life's pressures. You may have used strategies that worked in past relationships but no longer serve you. I can help you discover what's working and what's not. You can feel better.

Areas of Specialization:

~ Marriage and relationship conflicts
~ Pre-marital counseling
~ Grief and loss
~ Life transitions
~ Postpartum issues
~ Parenting issues and challenges
~ Effects of alcoholism on the family, including adult children of alcoholics
~ Family of origin issues
~ Communication difficulties
~ Stress management and coping skills
~ Relaxation techniques for improved health and well being

I believe that all people strive toward health but past interactions can impede progress. I work to uncover core motivations and look at the influence of client's relationships. While I come from a family systems perspective, I am client oriented, which means that you're in control. It is important that we address what is of most concern to you in each session. I often ask my clients "How is your approach working in your life?" I ask the same question regarding therapy. "Are you satisfied with the work we're doing? How do you feel about our relationship?" Research shows that 87% of change can be attributed to the alliance between client and therapist. For this reason it is imperative we work together in therapy.

My practice consists of working with couples, families and individuals who want to make change in their lives. As your therapist, I help clarify problems, identify needs and provide direction toward solutions that will improve your quality of life.

I customarily charge $60 dollars for a fifty minute session, and have a very flexible sliding scale. Give me a call to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

Hypnotherapy and Stress Management

I believe that people have the power to achieve great things. In fact I know this. I also know that life has its moments when we get overwhelmed. These are times when we need support, creative ideas and someone to listen. While stress management can make our lives more satisfying and peaceful, Hypnosis can create a powerful state to support focus, creativity, change and well being. My role is to help you connect with your own innate wisdom. As issues unfold, organic solutions begin to emerge. I hold the space for change while gently encouraging you to stretch, and explore. What it is that you really want? I encourage you dream big. Working together, we can discover resources for change.

I began my studies in hypnotherapy while working at the Mental Health Center, in Boulder Colorado. I had the good fortune to study with John G. Watkins PhD, a psychologist known for his work in clinical hypnosis, particularly Ego State Therapy. I was then introduced to the work of Dr. Milton Erickson. While living in Boulder, I studied with other mental health professionals, practiced hypnotherapy and taught classes on Self Hypnosis. My studies in Portland have been with Apositiva Hypnotherapy/NLP; Inner Active Communications, Beverly Martin NLP, and Kona University Hypnotherapy. I am a member of and Board Certified by the National Guild of Hypnosis. Though I work with people of all ages, I love working with children and have specialized training and separate Certification in Pediatric hypnosis. I am currently an MA student studying Process Oriented Psychology.

My years as a mental health worker, my studies in Philosophy, Metaphysics and Psychology, along with my training in Hypnotherapy, NLP and HeartMath® have given me a solid basis for working with clients. However, equally important is awareness, compassion, generosity of spirit and deep concern for my clients well being. I am honored to assist you with change work and gently hold the trust and responsibility that you place in my hands .
