Approach to Counseling

I am a trained marriage, family and individual therapist.  My approach to counseling is heavily influenced by “family systems” theory which emphasizes brief, problem solving counseling, with a focus on the individual in the context of their family or social system--family of origin, marital family, or general relationship system.  As a Pastoral Counselor, I am both a trained marriage and family therapist and an ordained clergyperson in the Church of the Brethren.  I am a “Fellow” in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, and subscribe to the Code of Ethics of that organization.

As a licensee of the Oregon State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, I will abide by its Code of  Ethics.

Education

I hold the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from the School of Theology at Claremont, California.  My area of study was Pastoral Counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling.  In addition, I hold a Master of Divinity degree (M.Div.) from Bethany Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.  My major area of study in my Master’s program was pastoral care and counseling.

Continuing Education

To maintain my license, I am required by the state to participate in annual continuing education.  I participate in classes dealing with subjects relevant to this profession.  I may substitute professional consultation for part of this requirement.  I will be happy to explain what that entails and how it relates to you as my client.

Fee Schedule

Fees for counseling services are $95.00 per hour of counseling.  An adjustment in fees is possible in cases of need and when discussed in advance with the counselor.
