About Joan

I am licensed in Oregon with an LCSW in social work, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I have 50+ years of professional work experience, sitting with clients individually and in relationships and in family distress. They bring their traumas and abuse, their losses and pain, their stress, fears, addictions, coping problems with grief and loss, struggles with intimacy and self-esteem and their deeper psychological unknowns. Sometimes they don't know why they are there, but something is not right in their life. Stress, anxiety, depression. anger, rage, lack of knowledge of psychology or other helping modalities leaves them lost in how to make sense of our world and their successful role in their own lives. I listen, reflect, and compile for them a story of their own value and self-worth. The clinical tools I use are DBT, CBT, ACT, theories on addictions, domestic violence, mindfulness, self-care, and assignments/worksheets to help with focus and routine. I believe in treating clients with respect, sensitivity, clarity and compassion. I can be firm and direct tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to meet the unique and specific needs of the individual.! I am very informed in the many complicated issues facing all of us as we navigate our psychological life in these troubling times. I have seem many lives changed over the years. I bring this hope to the clinical conversation, Over these many years I have had the opportunity to work in many settings in-patient treatment for substances, out-patient and individual therapy. I have years of experience in domestic violence running groups for both men and women, family, individual and couples I have had my own private practice since 1988. I love what I do and, in these times, need to be present. I am also trained in Jungian psychotherapy and utilizing dreams for self-understanding. I have been on my own personal healing journey for 45 years. Read more Show less
