Therapists in Corvallis, OR

My ideal client is someone who has realized they keep tripping over the same life problem or unpleasant situation. This individual wants to find out how to do something different to create a positive change in their life.This discovery process might involve some testing, or might be stand alone therapy, but will require effort from both of us. I enjoy a challenge and expect the therapy process to be collaborative whether struggling with a life change, starting over, or dealing with a loss. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sexual abuse are areas of experience, utilizing individual or group format.

Welcome! We all have times in our lives when we need a little help...it's part of being human. The fact that you are here, exploring my Psychology Today page, is an important courageous first step that should be honored. Therapy is a dynamic process that is often life changing; it's different for every person. I have a warm, genuine approach and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and inviting space for each individual's unique healing journey. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies combined with useful techniques to help clients heal and cope.

There are times in life when we realize that the ways we have been coping are getting in the way of our life goals, values and relationships, and it is hard to know how to begin changing these patterns. This is all part of being human! Unfortunately, life doesn't come with an instruction manual so it can be challenging to figure out the best way to move forward. I believe that people have the inherent ability to heal, and even thrive, especially when they have support to address those times in life that have been challenging.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me & consider working together. Licensed as a clinical psychologist since 2006, I've accompanied adults, teens, & older adults through many situations & feelings - including anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues, parenting, aging, substance use, & navigating neurodivergence (attention deficit & autistic spectrum disorders). My goal is that you gain a better understanding of the situation and yourself, implement new strategies and skills to successfully manage the transition, and emerge with greater confidence to journey through future life events.

MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. Are you tired of not getting lasting results from years of counseling? I welcome you into my practice with your emotional, relationship and/or addiction issues. By being in tune with you, I provide emotional safety, assuring that you are being heard. My road map for healing starts with stabilizing your current situation. Then we explore your symptoms, life story, repetitive patterns and what outdated beliefs might be operating at the center of your issues. Then I guide you to gently release the stories and the frozen emotions that hold the old beliefs in place.

I believe that lasting change is rooted in self-acceptance and becoming more connected with one's emotions and experience. With 25 years providing psychotherapy, my goal is supporting you in becoming more familiar with and at ease with yourself. I listen carefully to what you have to say and help you understand the dynamic patterns of your life and relationships. Together we will identify and resolve underlying conflicts which impair the quality of your life. We can create meaning from your life experiences, setting the stage for a happier, more peaceful future.

Each individual carries their own unique blend of strengths and struggles as well as fears and successes. As we work together in therapy, you will learn to access your strengths and resolve your struggles, celebrate your successes and stand up to former fears. I will equip you with the tools you need to create a more satisfying way of living, loving and being. At A Peaceful Place, Therapeutic Counseling, I provide genuinely caring, professional insight for individuals, couples and families, toward the discovery of a more peaceful place within themselves.

For more detailed information about me, please visit www.turningtidestherapyor.com. I have over twelve years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy to adults from many walks of life. A skilled EMDR therapist who operates from both a person-centered and systems-focused framework, I utilize a nonjudgmental, down-to-earth style that blends professionalism and approachability.

As a systems oriented psychotherapist, I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin, communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self. Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

Welcome! All of us come to a time in our lives where we want to talk to someone. In a safe place to process our thoughts and feelings, while using self-compassion and nonjudgment. To come to a deeper understanding of our behaviors, emotions, and ideas, or what the root may be. We then develop our sense of clarity and pleasures in life. We cooperatively define the direction of your counseling session and goals. We are all unique in our humanity, as our situations and experiences are all different yet the same.

My approach to counseling is based on a Person-Centered approach as well as a Cognitive-Behavioral approach. I believe that the Therapeutic Relationship in counseling is the main ingredient for healing and growth. Collaboratively, the client and I will identify areas of concern and find ways to achieve wellness for the client. I believe that the client has the ability to find solutions to their dilemmas within themselves, but sometimes need someone to walk alongside of them during this process.
