I began working in the Mental Health and Chemical Dependency fields in 1981. I have worked primarily in community-based, not-for-profit agencies, and have worked as a therapist, a clinical supervisor, a clinical director, and as an administrator at various points throughout my career. My theoretical approach to counseling is a Cognitive-Behavioral approach which research has shown to be one of the most effective methods of therapy. I also utilize a Family Systems approach. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have worked with many types of issues and people throughout my career, I currently specialize in the following areas: Sexual Minority Issues, Addictions (chemical and behavioral), Relationship issues, Spiritual/Religious Issues, Depression/Anxiety, Abuse & Trauma, Grief/Loss, HIV/AIDS and other chronic conditions, and Family of Origin issues. I graduated from Florida State University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and in 1987 with a Master of Social Work. I was originally licensed as a LCSW in the State of Florida in 1989, and became a LCSW in the State of Oregon in 2001.
