Psychotherapy is not just a matter of skills and techniques. Healing occurs when, in a safe environment, you can speak and hear your own voice, tell your own story. When you feel really heard, new feelings and insights can emerge. Anxiety, depression, obsessive worrying, conflicts, feelings of meaninglessness or worthlessness constrict your experience. A therapeutic relationship can provide an opportunity to be accompanied as you express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. You become more open and able to make new choices, to envision your dreams and possibilities. Your more authentic self can emerge as your inner landscape changes. I have trained in different models of therapeutic treatment, including classical psychoanalysis, Jungian depth psychology, Family of Origin, family systems, and Transactional Analysis, as well as Buddhist and Hindu psychology. I work with people in different ways, based on the individual's needs and current situation. I listen to you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a psychoanalyst, and have been in private practice in Portland for 19 years. I see individual adults and couples. Previously I was an Associate Professor of World Religion at Lewis and Clark College, and worked extensively with young adults.
