I provide psychological counseling to couples and individual adults in Portland, Oregon and via the phone for those out of town. I have been a professional Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist for over 17 years. I am also an instructor in the Department of OB/GYN at Oregon Health and Sciences University, as the clinic counselor for University Fertility Consultants. I work with people struggling with infertility and parenting options, as well as having a general therapy practice. I strive to assist you in finding the answers to questions or decisions you face in your life.
Infertility Counseling
I counsel couples making decisions about third party reproduction, (egg and sperm donation) IVF, embryo donation, gestational carriers and recepients, and those considering adoption, as well as those touched by adoption. I am a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine Mental Health Professional Group, and a member of National Association of Social Workers. I offer twice yearly womens support groups for those with infertilty. I screen both egg and sperm donors for couples and clinics. I offer stress management strategies and techniques for those seeking to reduce highly stressful situations in their lives.
General Therapy
My general therapy practice is devoted to helping you gain momentum in your life and find fulfillment with your needs and desires. I offer help with those struggling with a wide variety of life issues including marital, parenting and adolescent concerns, job related stress and family of origin issues.
