“People are disturbed not by things, but by the views they take of them.” ― Epictetus

We often become stuck in a pattern of viewing our world through a certain lens. Many of us do not realize that we can become empowered to view our world in a different way. I seek to help my clients create meaning in their lives through an accepting, unconditional counseling relationship. I use Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approaches to help my clients uncover their genuine “truth” and to help them live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

While we can't always change difficult situations, we can work together to view those situations through a new lens in order to create a different perspective and create effective solutions.  

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Because choosing a therapist is an important decision, I offer a free consultation to see if my services might be a good fit for your needs. Please call or email me to schedule a consultation.


I'm confident that I will be able to meet your therapy needs, but if for any reason I'm not the right choice, I encourage you to read more about my colleagues at Wise Counsel & Comfort  .  We practice at fifteen Portland locations, and all of us share a commitment to providing professional, affordable therapy.
