I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.

I believe that we all have a journey that has led us where we are, with individual challenges and opportunities. Events from the past can leave lasting impacts that lead to feeling disconnected from self or others and difficulties with living authentically. I am passionate about listening to your story to work through challenges and assist you with taking control of this journey in order to feel whole and complete.

I started my career as a teacher in at risk rural county schools in Virginia. I eventually became a teacher for Outward Bound, a wilderness therapy alternative school for adjudicated males age 14 to 17 yo. It was this experience that inspired me to pursue a career in wilderness therapy, eventually earning her Master's in Clinical Mental Health counseling at Lamar University.

My background and past clinical experience includes working in wilderness therapy, residential programs and Child Advocacy Centers in Utah, North Carolina and Oregon with at risk youth. I have worked with diverse populations, utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions and creative methods to meet the needs of those with whom I have worked. Through use of my gifts, knowledge, and experience, I seek to empower and motivate you to overcome issues, explore and implement healthy choices, and ultimately, to live your best life.

I am trained in EMDR, an intervention for processing and deactivating trauma, and in Neuroaffective Relational Therapy. I use a variety of other modalities, including CBT, ACT, body-centered psychotherapy, and Polyvagal therapy.

I have a passion for supporting individuals on their journey of healing. I utilize sensorimotor, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help unlock the trapped memories that are leading to distress in an individual’s life to help them live in the present moment.

I see my role as helping you hear yourself, rediscover your truths, and expand your choices on your path to greater fulfillment and serenity.

I have lived on the South Coast of in Oregon for six years. I am very fortunate to be working as a mental health counselor for Stronger Oregon as it has been rewarding and fostered my personal and professional growth.

I have training and experience in treating anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, adult spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder and personality disorders.

I graduated in 1986 from the University of Utah where I was first trained in the cognitive behavioral approach. I worked as a paraprofessional at the University of Utah Counseling Center for 18 months, learning and applying CBT for general and test anxiety, depression, assertiveness training, mindfulness and meditation.

I was also the teacher's assistant for the psychology of dreams class for six years. I became a father of four children and went back to graduate school in 1998 and graduated with a Master's Degree in Counseling with Mental Health Specialization from the University of Pheonix in 2001. I have held an LPC since 2003.

I was a clinical director for 14 years in Utah prior to moving to Oregon in 2016. I am very proficient in diagnosing mental health conditions, but I work with a person, not a diagnosis.

My background includes a Master’s Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy, with over 38 years of experience working with people of all ages, backgrounds and orientations.  I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending on what works best for each individual.  I have over 100 hours of training in grief and loss, with five years of experience working for a hospice organization.  I also have many hours of continuing education in the area of trauma, and how to help people not only cope with, but move past the trauma to live more fulfilled lives.  In addition to insight-oriented and cognitive therapy approaches, I am excited to incorporate the Emotional Freedom Technique into my practice, to give people practical and easy ways to help themselves.

My approach is person centered and strengths-based, seeing each person as the expert on themselves and emphasizing strengths rather than problems.  I offer support, teach skills, and provide a safe and comfortable space for you to express yourself and explore feelings.  Although therapy is work, I incorporate humor in my practice.  As a dancer and dance/movement therapist, I appreciate the concepts of the mind-body connection, as what affects the mind or emotions, affects the body, and vise a versa.  For this reason, I often encourage people to participate in activities that will engage both mind and body.

I have also lead many groups, including dance/movement therapy groups, grief support groups, and groups for specific populations (ie, Geriatric, Schizophrenic, deaf children).  I have taught dance, worked as an artist model, and set up a peer mediation program for a Jr. High and High School in Arizona.  I have been a dancer (ballet, modern), an inline skater, a skier, and hiker.  Lately, I have enjoyed gardening and landscaping, taking drives to the beach, and watching British television.  I have lived long enough to see how we reinvent ourselves over time, and I continue to do that.  I feel this experience gives me empathy to help others reinvent themselves too.

If you would like to work with me.

BIOI grew up in Oregon and returned as an adult learner graduating from Portland State University, Master of Social Work degree, with emphasis in child and family clinical work.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Play Therapy, Sand Tray, Experiential Therapies, Brainspotting, Attachment work, Perinatal issues, and HeartMath. I’m certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy and Synergetic Play Therapy.  Being trauma sensitive and using mindfulness is what I like to focus on as a therapist.  I like to bring a sense of peace and inner resilience to the folks I meet with, and I believe that anyone of any age can gain awareness of their own resilience and capacity to heal. The potential for healing is within each one of us, and my role is to help bring each person’s inner healer into being.

My passions include helping parents increase relationship with their children, and helping children gain feelings of security and attachment with the grownups in their lives.  Attachment relationships of child and parent, whether this is birth-family, adoptive-family, foster-family, or single clients who are working on healing from the past are all situations that I have experience working with.

Please feel free to see if I would make a good fit for what you are looking for in therapy. I work with all ages and stages of development, am LGBTQ+ aware, and open to working with the human that you are and who you want to become.  We are all growing into who we truly are and what our gifts can be. May your light shine bright!
