My Ideal Client

Are you ready to create an intentional life path - moving in together or getting married? (Pre-marital Coaching) Are you and your partner miscommunicating, not having fun, wanting to make changes in your relationship? (Relationship Counseling) Are you deciding if you want to stay or if you want to go in your relationship? Do you feel stuck in indecision? (Discernment type services) Do you or your partner experience processing differences (AHDH, ASD)? Reach out to me!

My Approach to Helping

I am eclectic in my approach - I am Gottman Level One certified and PrePare Enrich certified (premarital services). I am also Certified ND Compass therapist - this is specific to those couples who are neurodiverse. My main focus is helping people tell their truth, what it is they are scared to admit to themselves and others, in a safe, supportive way.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Oregon and California and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Washington. I have been in couples counseling myself and this is why I am passionate about what I do: I know it works. Call me, I offer free phone consultations.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) External link

    Prepare Enrich Pre-Marital Counseling Certified Facilitator: This is a leading relationship program, built on a solid research foundation. It is custom tailored to for each couple and provides exercises to build relationship skills. I provide BOTH non-religious and religious based counseling. I am also happy to provide non Prepare Enrich premarital counseling.

  • Couples Counseling External link

    I have worked with couples throughout my career. I have experience with crisis management when couples are experiencing acute marital issues and general problem solving for on-going concerns. I have a special interest in working with couples who have already been married to other people and are experiencing discord after combing their families.

  • Eclectic External link

    There are many theories and types of therapy that can be used when working with couples. I find that no two couples are a like, nor or the two individuals within that couple alike. I will assess your specific needs and will draw from my experience and schooling to not only help explain why you are in your current set of circumstances, but also how we can go about addressing your needs.

  • Family Conflict External link

    Family conflict often occurs when a couple is having difficulty within their relationship and conversely, family conflict often results in troubles within a couple's relationship. I have a great deal of crisis therapy experience and am able to help you sort out the true source of conflict and create a plan to address it.

    I have worked with couples and families throughout my career. I have experience with crisis management, when couples are experiencing acute marital issues, and general problem solving for on-going concerns. I have a special interest in working with couples who have already been married to other people and are experiencing discord after combining their families.

  • Personal Growth External link

    Your life looks delightful but it’s still deeply unfulfilling. You’ve had enough of standing in your own way & giving too much power to what others think. You have bold dreams & desires but seek clarification & encouragement to achieve them. You want to increase your self-esteem to lead to better relationships & career choices as they currently don't feel in alignment with your needs, values, or overall satisfaction. Sometimes you feel outwardly self-confident but internally doubt yourself.
