I am licensed in Oregon with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, & anger management. I work mostly in the Cognitive Behavioral therapy approach.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I generally check messages here once in the evenings M-Th and respond once as quickly as possible. I appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other work, other clients, or professional/ personal responsibilities. On Fridays and Saturday mornings, I tend to have more availability, and I generally check messages here a few times. Again, I will attempt to respond once as quickly as I'm able to, sometimes more!

Alan is a great match for my needs. He asks inquisitive and thoughtful questions, challenges some of my thought process in a productive manner, actively listens and remembers our sessions.
