"I work with people who feel sad, lonely, angry, have experienced a recent loss or life transition, and those who seek to find meaning and purpose amidst stressful, busy lives. I possess a passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults who experience difficult emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or who find it hard to connect with others. As an EMDR-trained counselor, I view my clients through a trauma-informed lens. We all have experienced difficult things in our lives and counseling can help our minds and bodies heal."

"Working from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, I incorporate traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (how we think influences how we behave) with a holistic approach. Areas of specialization include: grief, loss, and transition, trauma, maternal mental health, immigration & families, and chronic illness. I have received training in many different therapeutic modalities and love to augment traditional talk therapy with art, play, music, movement, and storytelling, for clients who desire it. I work with individuals, couples, and families, providing a safe, encouraging, and unique experience of personal growth, transformation, and healing."

"All people have an inherent basic goodness which facilitates healing and growth, even during difficult life experiences. You have the wisdom and insight within you to increase your capacity for health, healing, and change. I facilitate a safe and honoring therapeutic space, one that is grounded in authenticity and compassion for you to move through difficult times and learn more about yourself. I work from an anti-oppression lens, and value all cultural narratives, experiences, and worldviews."

"I am a highly skilled child therapist with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of clients. I have extensive experience and training in working with children and families, many with complex challenges that require a highly skilled clinician. I draw from attachment theory, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Neuro-sequential Model of Therapeutics (brain based treatment) to create an intervention that is tailored to the family, child, or individual that I am treating."

"Are you ready to embody your true core self? We hold within us the innate ability to reach optimum mental health and possess the ability to create our own healing and wholeness. My goal is to provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in order to help you find your way on your healing journey. I believe mind, body and spirit are intrinsically bound together and feel if we look at ourselves from a perspective of compassion, we can use this knowledge, with the help of mind/body techniques, to move toward healing and whole health."

"I believe we all have an innate ability to heal and live a balanced and fulfilling life. Using an eclectic and intuitive approach I have the ability to help the individual see challenges from a bigger picture perspective. I also believe that forgiveness of oneself and others is a key component to healing and letting go of that which no longer serves us. By providing a safe and compassionate atmosphere clients are quick to divulge information making it a quicker process to identify the root of a problem."

"I believe that the foundation upon which an individual's emotional, psychological, and physical health may thrive is determined by the strength of that individual's relationship with "self". My treatment style is holistic and integrated, its core components being that of empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. My areas of practice include relational issues experienced throughout the lifespan, trauma, moral injury, sexual/gender issues, sexual addiction, and issues confronting those involved with a family member suffering from any type of addiction. I provide services for those within the military culture and the LGBTQI community, for caretakers experiencing compassion fatigue, and for individuals coping with terminal illness."

"It is courageous to work towards healthier and more joyful connections with self and others. It is possible to thrive even while managing personal or relationship trauma, loss, stress, and difficult transition in life. I provide support for you while you increase capacity to heal, support yourself, and co-create resilient safe relationships with loved ones. My role as a therapist is to protect a safe environment for your work, to co-create relationship built on a bond of trust, authenticity and security, to provide empathy and be assertively challenging."

"Engaging a Mindfulness-based, cognitive approach can greatly benefit anyone exploring lifespan challenges and/or their journey towards personal growth. The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself. Specializing in couples and individual counseling, I have over 23 years of experience addressing marital issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. In addition to being a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, I also provide a space (drumming circles) for individuals and/or groups to experience a healing approach through sound and self-expression."

"I work with families, couples or individuals irrespective of diagnosis or the presenting problem. I'm interested in the person, not the label. From my perspective, psychotherapy is a collaboration. It has been referred to as the "talking cure" because it heals through conversation. Putting troubling thoughts, emotions, and memories into words enables them to be felt and understood more deeply, to be borne with greater resilience, and to facilitate wiser choices. And, the privacy, boundaries, empathy, and safety of the therapeutic relationship can enable even the most shameful and frightening feelings to be faced and worked through."

"I see counseling and psychotherapy as a collaborative process of discovery between the client and myself. We are a team. Let's creatively put our minds and hearts together to explore what matters most to you and how you can unfold it. I draw on twenty-five years of experience to provide guidance and support for you to get to the core of the symptoms and circumstances you are presented with. I encourage clients to create a personal program/practice that may include journaling, meditation, mindfulness, intention, and rites of passage to experience your truth and the life you seek."

"Are you ready to experience change in your life? Are you struggling in your relationships with your family or in your marriage? Have you experienced challenges parenting your child or teen? Do you want to build stronger family bonds or have a more intimate relationship with your partner? Life is all about relationships and how we can best connect with those that we love. Maybe past events or patterns of behavior are contributing to the issues you are experiencing? As you seek counseling, it is important to find a clinician that you can connect with so you feel safe and confident in moving forward towards your goals."

"Over the course of my practice, I have extensive experience with individual and couples therapy. In addition my practice has focused on Developmental Disorders and the support services associated with this population. Services include assessment and consultation, behavioral support, parent training, advocacy in IEP meetings, and consultation / training to teachers or administrators within school / classroom settings. I also provide differential diagnostic expertise, especially in identifying Autism Spectrum Disorder. I provide therapeutic support for couples and families that include an individual on the autism spectrum."

"These are extremely stressful times but you do not have to face it all alone. Depression and anxiety can lead, if left untreated, to isolation and self-destructive behaviors. Relationships may suffer and facing each day can feel overwhelming! In therapy, we work on restoring relationships. We work together to understand why you do what you do - then, change will come! Destructive patterns can be conquered. Trauma, stress, conflict, and great loss CAN lose their power. I love working with individual adults, families, couples, and teens who are ready to overcome their challenges."

"Through empathy and unconditional positive regard, I assist clients in gaining insight, coping skills and the ability to move through their times of difficulty. I believe that it's through connection, understanding and working together that change can begin to happen. I utilize an eclectic approach with a strong reliance on Person Centered Counseling, EMDR, DBT and CBT, to create rapport and a safe place for others. "

"I'm here to help you have a satisfying sex life. I help women with low libido find passion again. I help men with erectile difficulties, performance anxiety, pre-mature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation achieve results they struggle to find on their own. I help couples with mismatched libidos find a rhythm that really works. I help women who can't reach orgasm discover their bodies. I help individuals questioning their sexuality or gender identity. "

"*I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS DUE TO MY PRACTICE BEING FULL* As a therapist, I have the privilege of accompanying people of all ages on their journeys toward more balanced, happy & connected lives. Taking the courageous step to initiate counseling opens up a nonjudgmental, uninterrupted space that can bring new perspectives to difficult situations and foster healing. My approach to counseling is strengths-based and collaborative. I offer a safe, supportive environment in which to uncover your inner wisdom and let it take the lead, honoring the counseling relationship as a unique and trusting vehicle for creating change."

"As a Licensed Psychologist with 40 years of experience I work with both long term and acute problems. Life can present some painful circumstances. We work together in understanding how your emotions,thoughts and history influence your life and how you can implement change towards a more gratifying life."

"I've been practicing for over eighteen years and I feel passionate about my approach to treating individuals, couples and families. My professional values are those of integrity, passion and commitment developed over many years of extensive and diverse work. My therapeutic approaches are active, engaging, alive, creative, heartfelt, positive, warm, inviting, real and spiritual. My broad training in a variety of psychotherapy techniques provides for a professional and authentic approach to each individual, depending on their needs, style and temperament, so that clients can achieve their personal, psychological, and spiritual growth."

"Licensed as a therapist in California and Oregon I am available online for clients in both states for Counseling support. I offer flexible daytime, evening and weekend appointments. My office for face-to-face counseling sessions is in Bend Oregon. I've had the great pleasure of supporting wounded hearts since 1997."
