My Background and Approach
My formal training is in Vocational Rehabilitation and Career Counseling. Over the years I have had extensive training in working with PTSD and childhood neglect & trauma. I use Psycho-therapeutic processing, EMDR and Lifespan Integration to help clients become less disassociative, less anxious, have less intrusive thoughts & body memories, become more emotionally available and be more capable to live the life they want to live. I use aspects of CBT, DBT, ACT and IPNB to help clients become more skilled and steady in their day-to-day activities and relationships. I also provide Career coaching and skill coaching for Autism/Aspergers skills via video/teletherapy to people not in the Portland area or outside Oregon.
