LifeQual Center

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I have practiced in and around Portland for 30 years, working independently and as a team member in outpatient and intensive day treatment settings. I have taught coursework in counseling locally and cross-culturally.

I am trained in systemic family therapy. I utilize a variety of techniques to assist clients on their journey of personal

healing including:

​

​

​

• Communication skills building

• Understanding and expressing emotions

• Exploring interpersonal relationships

• Gaining understanding of one’s relationship with food

• Clarifying and strengthening boundaries with self and others

​

I believe the strength and quality of the therapeutic relationship is key to successful treatment of emotional and psychological concerns. I will work with you to gain a clearer understanding of your concerns and make a plan to address them. I bring compassion and objectivity to help you restore balance in your life.
