Licensed, Board Certified Psychologist
Compassionate, down-to-earth, practical help. I encourage people to work on a number of different levels to create real change and more satisfying lives.
My practice is in downtown Vancouver, WA, a beautiful and friendly community along the spectacular Columbia River and immediately north of Portland, OR.
More than 30 years of professional experience working with individuals and couples have taught me that we grow and make effective changes when we understand what's happening, appreciate our experiences, develop a plan to improve things and follow through. So I encourage people to appreciate their past experiences and to work on a number of different levels to create real change and more satisfying lives. I enjoy helping people enrich and repair their relationships, change long-standing patterns, develop self-acceptance and personal effectiveness, resolve difficult situations, and experience emotional closeness and satisfying physical intimacy.
I'm a WA licensed psychologist (NH and NY inactive status) and a Diplomat from the American Board of Professional Psychology. My specialties include couples, relationships, divorce, sexuality, chronic illness, health related changes, loss, depression and orientation/gender concerns. Change can begin in many ways so I work from a collaborative, engaged and integrative perspective.
As we understand your situation, we'll give it new meaning. You'll develop new ways to think and feel. I'll offer alternative perspectives and we'll work together to develop a plan and new ways to approach your situation. We'll prepare ways to overcome obstacles so you get results.
My office is located in Vancouver, Washington easy driving distance from the surrounding communities (Salmon Creek, Camas) as well as Portland, OR.
