Couples Counseling Therapists in Ashland, OR

Is it time to dive back in the most tender places in yourself, your family, your world? Want to make way for joy, live in the present moment and find your own definition of success? Want to stop participating in the madness and become part of the change that's needed in these times? Do you sometimes wonder if your anxiety, depression, fear, griefs are all yours? Maybe I can help. I believe we are all a bit crazy and that most of what ails us is the result of being part of a collectively sick culture and a dying paradigm of consumer culture, patriarchy and war. There is still beauty, possibility and hope-I can help you remember this.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, so my practice has both depth and breadth. I have much experience working with depression and anxiety, addictions and recovery, all types of trauma, and relationship issues of all kinds. I welcome LGBTQ+ individuals, folx from non-dominant cultural backgrounds, and I enjoy working with individuals, couples, "pods," and families. My goal is the empowerment of everyone I serve.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds and are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and substance abuse. They are looking for a counselor who supports them in creating real change in their daily lives. They engage in counseling to understand themselves and appreciate their innate goodness and well being. They seek contentment and an experience of inner freedom

Do you feel stuck, confused, exhausted and hopeless that life can get better for you? Do you seek to find more peace, joy, maybe more intimacy?

Over the years I have successfully supported youth, adults, couples and families from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds.

I have been working with children, teens, families and couples for almost 33 years.

Alternatives increase our choices in life. Alternative psychotherapy considers all aspects of living, including work, lifestyle and spiritual practice, as well as thoughts and feelings, in healing our mind, body and spirit.

I believe we each have a special part to play in the dance of life and that sometimes we need to put to rest old patterns or fears so we can respond to life in the most authentic way possible. If you find yourself stuck in limiting relational patterns, disconnected from yourself, depressed, anxious, fearful, confused, angry or in chronic physical pain, I can offer my 27 years of clinical experience, the safe space and carefully facilitated, deep, mindful, body-based exploration that will help you find your way home and engaging with your world more authentically and effectively.

I offer body centered, mindfulness based therapy for individuals wanting to get at the source of their symptoms whether that be anxiety, depression, or relational difficulties.

I specialize in working with adult individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and work issues, though it is my privilege to work with a wide range of people.

I counsel from a place of compassion and inclusivity and strive to create an environment in which all feel welcome. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, as well as those who have experienced trauma and complex trauma. I am passionate about holistic mental health, using practices that are both evidenced based and integrative.

If you feel hopeless or unsupported, or you feel depressed or anxious...or if your husband or wife or partner isn't willing or able to talk about problems, I offer professional, supportive, empathic, and good-humored help. I'm a psychologist, researcher, and former clinical supervisor and professor at The Wright Institute, in Berkeley, California, who helps adults and teens facing difficulties and dilemmas, and couples with low to high conflict, including infidelity, who may want to save--or simply improve--their relationship.

Life satisfaction is mostly about relationship, don't you agree? I help people have emotionally open and compassionate relationships both with themselves and with others. I work with individuals and couples on this. Individually, so much of life satisfaction and personal effectiveness is based on how well you understand yourself (mindfulness), how you treat yourself (compassion), and how you advocate for your desires. With others, relationships are built through mutually respectful listening and co-creating mutually delightful interactions. I see relationship as a spiritual path.

I help individuals find fulfillment and couples to thrive in their relationships. I love supporting women and families through pregnancy and motherhood. Inner peace is about understanding and finding acceptance for who you are and how you came to be this person. We will identify your strengths and use them to transform negative patterns that are holding you back or keeping you down. I teach somatic awareness and mindfulness to help you improve your ability to witness yourself, leading to more insight. I work with couples on communication, sexuality, co-parenting, making agreements and becoming each other’s best support person.

You have a right to therapy supported by good evidence and theory. It is my mission to provide the best of the field of psychology. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who initiate psychotherapy to address a variety of concerns (emotional, motivational, developmental, relational, sexual, existential) and to facilitate personal growth toward greater meaning and satisfaction in life. Examples of goals may include psychological flexibility, behavior change, expanded coping capacity, development of deeper sense of relationships, and more open views of your own life.

I am honored to serve as a guide on your journey towards growth and healing. I understand the courage it takes to take the first step, so it's important to me to co-create a safe and compassionate space for you to express yourself, and achieve the life goals you desire. I'm inspired to work with diverse groups of people, and those struggling with issues of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, multi-racial challenges, adoption and attachment difficulties, as well as spiritual concerns. Although the healing path is not always easy, it can be profoundly rewarding and transformational.

Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from you.
