I stand in wonder
at the cohesive
wonders of the
community and, as
well, the wonderful
creative power of
individuals who
take on the
challenge of
personal
innovation. Life is
what we make it
and there is more
we can do than we
often believe.

Counseling
& Psychotherapy Services
Portland is rich in its diversity. From our arts and lifestyles to our geographical terrain, we
are offered alternatives and opportunity. It is not surprising that the same is true when we
are seeking assistance with our mental, emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs.
Portland psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors and coaches differ widely in their
theories and approaches to human change. Some of the things that most of us believe
however, is that professional assistance can expedite the changes you have been wishing
to make. Each psychotherapist or counselor has chosen their field because they believe
counseling and/or psychotherapy can get you on the road to the life you want more
quickly.
Many changes happen quite naturally and seem to unfold as they should. Often, however,
life unfolds in a way which confuses us. We wonder why bad things have happened to us,
and sometimes, why bad things seem to keep happening to us. We wonder if there is
some way we can gain more control over our lives. Sometimes we simply wonder if there
are ways we can find more joy and happiness in our community and the world around us.
Not all people come to counseling as individuals. Many come to therapy as couples.
Although couples, marital, or relationship counseling can be more challenging, many find
that it can be more rewarding. Few of us live in complete isolation, but many of us have
times in which it feels as if we do. Relationships are important and whether you come in
with someone else or by yourself, therapy can be a connecting experience.
In the therapy I provide, I find it helpful to do things different. I find it helpful to learn to
"speak two languages." One is the language of "ordinary life." It is with this language that
you communicate with the people you see everyday. This is a helpful language and you
don't want to give it up. The other is the language you create for yourself as you live and
learn and come to know yourself most deeply. This is the language you use as you think
about things in new ways, discuss things with your therapist, and interact most intimately
with those who are close to you. By developing the ability to translate these languages
back and forth, our entire lives can become richer and deeper.
My office is LGBT friendly and embraces diversity. I stand in awe at the cohesive wonders
of the community and, as well, the wonderful creative power of individuals who take on the
challenge of personal innovation. Life is what we make it and there is more that we can do
than we often believe.
