“I know people heal by being able to tell the story - the whole story.”

-Clarissa Pinkola Estés
My approach is based on my belief that personal challenges can inspire growth and deeper healing when the experiences are processed in meaningful ways. I approach counseling in a supportive environment, based on a warm and dynamic relationship, to facilitate awareness, insight, and compassion. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from trauma-informed, narrative, and strengths-based theories to empower each person to make positive choices and find balance, resolution, and new and preferred ways to experience life.
I have a Master’s degree in Art Therapy and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon.
In addition to being a counselor, I am a sculptural artist with a love for clay and little bits found here and there. I also enjoy distance running, working on my wife’s farm, traveling, eating fabulous food, riding motorcycles, and spending time with my family.
