Client Rights and Key Information
Philosophy and Approach
I use a collaborative and eclectic counseling approach, drawing from acceptance based, cognitive, behavioral, and insight oriented approaches tailored to each client’s needs and goals. My work focuses on helping thoughtful, driven adults understand and shift recurring patterns in thinking, emotion, behavior, and relationships while building practical strategies for meaningful change.
Formal Education and Training
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Texas Tech University, with graduate coursework in human development, counseling theory and practice, individual and group counseling, family systems, psychopathology, assessment, ethics, and multicultural counseling. I have also completed postgraduate training related to ADHD, neurodivergence, and other areas relevant to my practice.
To maintain my Oregon license, I am required to complete at least 40 hours of continuing education during each two year reporting period, including training in professional ethics, cultural competency, and suicide risk assessment, treatment, and management. As an independently licensed professional counselor, I am not required to practice under clinical supervision. I abide by the Oregon Board's Code of Ethics (OAR Chapter 833, Division 100).
Fees
My standard fee is $175 per session. A limited number of reduced fee appointments may be available based on clinical fit, availability, and financial need. Fees are discussed before services begin, and any reduced fee arrangement must be agreed upon in advance.

As a client of an Oregon licensee, you have the following rights:
- To expect that a licensee has met the qualifications of training and experience required by state law;
