You have many options for counselors in the Vancouver and Portland areas, and want choose one who is right for you. The therapeutic relationship between client and counselor is critical, and you should feel safe and respected. I honor your values, views, experiences, and goals, and I will make every effort to develop a true understanding of your needs.
Why Choose Me?
I will work to build an individualized treatment plan in collaboration with you, so you can get the most from our time together. I believe it is not enough to know or talk about your problems but that research driven treatments need to be administered and actions taken outside of therapy sessions for problems to get better. I monitor treatment carefully through regular testing and assessment to make sure it is working and adjust methodologies if necessary.
