"We are only as sick as the secrets we keep."

Patrick Carnes

Achieving a good marriage is very hard work.  Sometimes it is necessary to seek help for conflict resolution to move beyond either a cold or hot war.  It is important to work with a marriage therapist who believes that every relationship has the potential for improvement.
"In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce.  The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage."
Robert Anderson from his play Solitaire/Double Solitaire
 
"The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself."
Garth Brooks in Country Music

    Resume               Philosophy Statement    

Pamela graduated from OHSU and is board certified as a Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She is licensed to work with all ages but prefers ages 17 and up. She worked as a Mental Health RN caring for patients at the Oregon State Hospital and, as a result, is experienced in dealing with individuals who have serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar, and major depressive disorder as well as borderline or other personality disorders. She also enjoys dealing with high functioning individuals who are motivated to seek coping skills for dealing with life’s issues. Her approach in assessment and treatment is holistic and she favors a variety of therapeutic methods, including BSP (Brief Spiritual Psychotherapy), meditation, and/or CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). She believes that the greatest curative forces for individuals with psychological challenges come from within by accessing the ability of the brain to change how it functions, recognizing that medicines can sometimes assist in this process. This belief is fostered by recent research that shows the brain to be an organ that is continually rebuilt by its experience and attitude. Pam’s major interests are anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and addictions.
