Focus Area: Clinical Social Work

Licensed in: Oregon, Washington

In my practice, clients actively define their desired outcomes and utilize personal resources to achieve them. I firmly believe in the power of positive change and encourage clients to enhance their existing strengths and behaviors. Solution-focused brief therapy is at the heart of my approach, emphasizing respect and empowerment in every interaction.

About Me

While I primarily utilize solution-focused brief therapy in treatment planning, I also incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for clients dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT has demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the negative symptoms associated with PTSD, facilitating healing and growth. I help clients adopt a future-oriented, goal-directed approach to overcoming life’s challenges. If you’re ready to embrace positive change and explore solutions, I’m here to support you on your journey to wellness.
