Portland Hills Mind & Body, LLC

I am a licensed professional counselor and work with individuals, couples and adolescents.  I earned my Bachelor’s degree from University of California, Santa Barbara in Psychology in 1989.  I have a Masters of Arts degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Tradition which I earned in 2004.  I have interned, volunteered, and been employed in community mental health at the YWCA.  I have spent the last 4 years in supervision/consultation with Jungian Analyst, Dr. Jim Soliday.  I continue to educate but am not limited to Jungian Psychology as my primary theoretical orientation.

I offer clients the opportunity to deepen and find meaning in whatever is bringing pain or struggle in their lives.  I honor my clients with an open mind and open heart with the intention of helping clients heal from psychological wounding.  I find the therapeutic journey to be profound and often times exciting.  In my practice I encourage clients to invite their own unconscious process to accompany them.  Some of the avenues I suggest to create expression include: drawing, painting, story-telling, and dream interpretation.

As the newest clinician to join Portland Hills Mind & Body I am quite honored to be here.  I offer a free ½ hour consultation.  As a courtesy, I will work with you to obtain insurance reimbursement. 

Lastly, whichever clinician you decide to begin your journey of healing with I applaud your courage.  Making the initial appointment is sometimes the biggest hurdle to getting help.
