Welcome to Creative Solutions
You know how people get repeatedly stuck and hurt in relationships and don’t know what to do? I help with that. I listen to you and help you get “unstuck”. I help you figure out how to heal from your hurt and create new positive ways to do relationships.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD In Psychology. I see clients in the Vancouver, WA. Portland Metro and Olympia-Tacoma areas of western Washington.
I have a passion for growth and healing, and for helping people surmount obstacles and move into the direction of their dreams. I’ve seen and worked with a wide range of common mental health issues– such as stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, behavioral issues, relationship problems, and life transitions–and I have the following areas of special interest and expertise:
- Family Therapy
- Teens
- Men’s Issues
- Anger, Aggression, and Productive Conflict
- Balancing Emotional Intimacy and Healthy Boundaries
- Integrity, Self-Esteem, and Empowerment
- Creativity and Personal Growth
- Life Coaching
- Couples therapy
- Emotional intimacy
- Needs vs. Wants
My counseling style is warm, interactive, compassionately direct, holistic, and grounded in my experience of what actually works. I welcome you to browse my website for more information about me and my services.
TMS Therapy is the Right Choice
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
