ABOUT RICHARD
It is perfectly normal for individuals, couples, and families to experience problems at various times, and therapy can be very useful in helping to navigate life’s trials and transitions. I believe that everyone possesses abundant natural strengths and resiliencies to draw from to achieve goals and move closer to a preferred life.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and respectful space for you to explore and express your thoughts and feelings. I work relationally and collaboratively with you to build upon your own strengths and use them to find solutions helpful in achieving your goals. I think of my role as a collaborator and guide, helping you achieve solutions and move toward your preferred life.
I work holistically, considering various life contexts, including biological, psychological, family, social, cultural, and spiritual. Additionally, when appropriate I explore issues of power and oppression with clients as they may relate to aspects of identity (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation) to help clients restore relational equity.
SERVICES I OFFER
I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families in the Portland, OR metropolitan area. I help clients with many issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family conflict, and addiction issues. My therapeutic approach is relational, client-centered, and solution-focused, and my goal is to foster individual and relational well-being. I value confidentiality and endeavor to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and LGBTQ-friendly space. Additionally, I have extensive experience as a touring and recording musician and welcome the opportunity to work with bands experiencing relational difficulties. I provide a free 20-minute telephone consultation to ensure that my services are appropriate for your needs.
**PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to promote everyone's safety and well-being during the coronavirus epidemic, I have temporarily shifted to doing video and telephone sessions.
FEES
My standard rate is $125 for 50-minutes of individual, couple, or family therapy (with some sliding scale availability based upon need). Contact me today!
