I work with adults seeking practical, focused support to reduce emotional distress, gain clarity, and create meaningful, sustainable change. My approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and grounded in real-life application, with an emphasis on strengths, existing resources, and achievable goals. I commonly work with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, work-life balance, and substance use concerns.
In addition to counseling, I provide specialized substance use and mental health assessments for healthcare professionals referred by Oregon state licensing boards and HPSP, as well as DOT return-to-duty assessments. I understand that being referred for an assessment can be stressful, and I strive to make the process straightforward, respectful, and thorough while meeting the requirements of the referring agency.
