Unlike the popular view of counseling as talk therapy, actually there are many different styles of therapy. Each therapy style presumes a different view of human nature and how to work with its issues. My counseling approach is humanistic: the clients with whom I work are everyday persons like you and me, whose problems are obstacles to a more fullfilling life as they progress on the spectrum of personal growth.

Of course no single counseling or therapy approach can address all of our needs. A holistic approach is needed. Therefore as a therapist and counselor who seeks to best serve my clients in my Portland Oregon counseling practice, I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities including:

  • Somatic Counseling - A therapy which more than just talk integrates experiencing, feeling, and the body in a holistic approach to our personal growth.
  • Hypnotherapy - Hypnosis is a therapy method applicable to many habits, behaviors, and attitudes which thwart a greater ease in living.
  • Authenticity / Existential Counseling - A therapy which points the individual to taking her own place in life as the unique being she is, and taking personal responsibility her own, unique existence.
  • Transpersonal Counseling - A method of therapy that honors the questions and issues we face as we integrate the spiritual dimension with our human experience.

You are welcome to  a 50-minute complimentary consultation.
