Relationships, like life, are hard, messy, rewarding, fun, and frustrating. Luckily, just like life, we don't have to figure them out alone. As a trained counselor, I can help you pull together the pieces of your life and relationships so that you can live in a more fulfilled and integrated way. It is a myth that just by virtue of being an adult we should know how to do relationships.
The truth is that most of us don't. Perhaps Jimmy Buffett captured it best in his song "Fruitcakes:" Relationships! We all got 'em, we all want 'em. What do we do with 'em?! To Jimmy and to you, I would answer that we work on them, we nurture them, we learn from them. So give me a call and let's talk about how, as your new therapist, I can support you in doing your work!

About

I earned my master's degree in counseling from Portland State University, where my focus was couples, marriage, and family therapy. I'm currently an adjunct faculty member in the counseling department at PSU. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been counseling individuals and couples since 2015.
Counseling
Report
Are you struggling in some way with your intimate relationship, family relationships, work relationships, friendships, your spiritual relationship, your relationship to substances, or your relationship with yourself? Congratulations, you're human! And, counseling can help. Did you know that the presence of a trained counselor can support change and growth in a way that other relationships can't?
Couples Counseling
Report
More than 400 years ago, Shakespeare wrote, "the course of true love never did run smooth." So why do many of us today still cling to the notion that if it's the right relationship, things will be easy? All relationships, even good ones, require work. And sometimes it's useful to have a neutral third party involved to help you sort through stuff and do the work more effectively.
Officiant Services
Report
Do you want a wedding that is somewhere in between a lavish church ceremony and a visit to your local courthouse? Do you want a personalized and/or non-traditional ceremony without having to do all the work yourself? Do you want the peace of mind of putting the most important day of your life into the hands of a professional wedding officiant?
