About Dean
He blends changing thoughts, accessing feelings, and shifting behaviors to find what helps each person most. That often means learning skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive approaches, along with attention to attachment and relationships. He emphasizes identifying strengths and building skills clients can use outside sessions.
Dean brings 11 years of clinical experience and a background that includes both therapy and career counseling. He works with people who want tools for mood, stress, sleep, and relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with codependency, commitment concerns, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
In career counseling he helps people name what’s holding them back and then create a practical plan. Typical topics include career decisions, motivation, family influences on work choices, and using strengths more intentionally. Sessions aim to produce tangible next steps rather than just conversation.
Dean holds LPC and LMFT credentials in Oregon and uses language that is straightforward and practical. People who choose him can expect collaborative work that focuses on skills, clarity, and daily habits that support longer term change.
