I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides psychotherapy and clinical supervision in Portland, Oregon, and online with those who call Oregon or Washington home. I’m also a queer/gay, cisgender man who was born and raised Kansas, attended college in Nebraska, and settled in the Pacific Northwest in the mid 90s.
For more than 23 years, I have had the honor of working with individuals and families facing unpleasant, difficult, and sometimes life-threatening challenges. I have worked in hospitals, clinics, and camps; taught at Portland State University and community settings; and provided care in people’s homes, my private practice office, and online using telehealth technology.
