Anxiety Therapists in Tillamook County, OR

My ideal client is someone grappling with stress, overwhelmed by negative thoughts and behaviors stemming from unresolved trauma or anxiety. They seek understanding, internal strength, and lasting change. Their goal is to develop tools for coping, achieve clarity, and regain control of their life. Through specialized psychotherapy and psychological testing, we work together to identify the root causes, providing them with a sense of peace. Their desire for transformation and relief drives their commitment to the therapeutic process.

Do you find yourself getting stuck at certain points in your life, or find yourself avoiding and/ or fearing your own emotions? Do you become overwhelmed with thoughts and/ or stress and find that you are unable to relax and calm your mind and body? Understanding and building skills for these types of struggles can be challenging without the right support. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can learn, explore, build skills, and find success. I customize the counseling experience to each individual client because we are all unique and learn and grow in different ways.

Here you are, browsing for therapists, making a choice not only to find a therapist that is the right fit for you but also making the choice to prioritize something that maybe you have neglected. I am here to hold that space for you to bring as much of your humanness as you are willing to bring into the room with me, no matter how dark it gets, and to be a witness without judgment or expectations so that you can heal wounds. All of my approaches in therapy are inspired by attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems theory (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and narrative therapies.

With me you will find a space to be open and vulnerable about topics that cause doubt, fear, discomfort, joy, curiosity, excitement, and more. The areas I focus my practice are: Individual Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy, Trauma/PTSD, Sexual Intimacy, Gender, Identity, and religion/deconstruction and reconstruction of faith. My passion is helping couples connect and develop a strong foundation from which they can take on any challenge, strengthen families of origin, helping blended families become deeply rooted, as well as helping individuals overcome personal struggles.

Are you seeking ways to enhance your emotional stability and experience a greater sense of focus and awareness? Is exploring and addressing past trauma, grief, and unwanted personal patterns important to you? Would you like guidance in understanding how your emotions are connected to physical symptoms and learning effective management techniques? Are you interested in learning ways to regulate your nervous system and relieve the fight, flight, or freeze response? Have you considered yourself to be highly sensitive or empathic, and want support in managing hypervigilance or neurodivergence? For any of your concerns I'm here to help.

I help where you are stuck -- body, story, nerves, or soul. Our difficult experiences can lodge many places. I have a big "tool chest" - from EMDR to mindfulness - to help you meet and transform what needs healing. I believe that each of us has a wholeness, no matter how hidden. I help you to contact that wholeness, in order to access your own wisdom. Together we find your unique path through to your truest self. What is waiting for you is a life of meaning and the ability to connect.

Working with me delivers therapy tailored specifically to you. I accomplish this by creating a safe environment in which we can explore underlying issues, then develop achievable mental health goals. Each session is a collaboration where I approach your concerns with values of caring, curiosity, compassion, and collaboration resulting in an individualized approach specific to your needs. I find that most clients often want more than just simple coping skills, they want to understand themselves further. I have the skills to help clients explore deep-seated issues in a non-threatening manner.

Your health deserves the highest quality care, and when we work together, you’ll get that - uncompromised integrity of personal, individualized therapy with the skills of a licensed, published substance use and behavioral health expert. I draw on direct practice experience in diverse settings with children, families and adults to offer individualized support for personal change. My work is grounded in understanding and commitment to therapies that work as established by research, not by tradition or business models - patient-centered therapy interactions that feel right: understanding, trustful, collaborative, and empowering.

My goal through therapy is to empower my clients to overcome personal barriers and reach their full potential. I accomplish this through a holistic, trauma-informed approach integrating an assortment of evidence based modalities to meet the needs of my clients. Trained in all areas of wellness, I teach a variety of classes. Since 2009, I’ve worked extensively in social work, outreach, non-profit, and community mental health. The areas I feel most passionate about include: post traumatic growth, wellness, community, environmental awareness, equity, inclusion, parenting and developing healthy, interdependent relationships.

My commitment is to offer effective therapy. As a person seeking therapy, you need a counselor who can understand and meet you where healing and growth is waiting to take place within you. Let's connect and find out if that counselor is me. I offer depth therapy that is emotionally sensitive, trauma-informed and transpersonal: integrating soul-searching and the management of daily life & relationships. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of nature therapy, body-centered expression and a receptive, feminine/masculine balanced approach.

sadness, fears, relationship problems and many other things you have come to the right place! I am passionate about guiding you through and helping you overcome lifetime as well as current problems! I love helping adults as well as children! With a very non judgmental approach let me guide you through this life and walk right along side of you!

Everyone deserves a supportive, engaging, and safe environment in which to reflect, grow, understand, and establish an integrated sense of self - personally, professionally, and relationally. I have worked clinically with individuals, families, and communities for over 20 years. My current practice is focused on providing clinical supervision to counselors seeking licensure in MT and OR. I also work with counselors, educators, and human service practitioners providing consultation, professional development, and support regarding mental health, resilience-building, burnout recovery and prevention, holistic self-care, and well-being.

When you are ready to examine your life in a safe, supportive environment, I invite you to get in touch with me.
