Therapists in Ashland, OR

If you've been struggling whether for a long time or right now with unresolved issues from your past, difficult to control or understand feelings, behaviors that no longer work for you, a strong negative critic in your mind, an overload of stress, a sense of dissatisfaction or not being good enough... I can help you to feel better, live your life more fully and with authenticity and integrity and heal from your past/present so it no longer holds you back. I can help you be your own best friend, advocate, and a source of resilience and self-compassion.

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 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.

I aim to serve people devoted to growing themselves and their communities. I often support clients working in helping professions, such as health care, education, non-profits, community services, and therapeutic programs. I can empathize with the demands of simultaneously being a parent, professional, and serving people in crisis. Many of us are 'wounded healers' in our own right, coping with inner struggles while caring for those around us. Healing occurs as we bravely confront our own inner difficulties, and that is a process I am passionate about supporting.

I strongly believe that all humans can reach an optimum state of health. An essential part of achieving this often involves addressing limiting habitual patterns of behavior or belief systems as well as learning skills to optimize healthy relationships. I seek to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can identify their own answers and achieve tangible results. This can occur both in individual sessions as well as with the collaboration of family members. My practice has lead me to work with youth, young adults, adults, and families facing some very challenging life situations and internal struggles.

Life doesn't come with a road map for success. Therapy is like a compass to help navigate the twists and turns along the way. If you are seeking change, are ready to take responsibility for the road ahead, and are prepared to meet the heights and depths of transformation, I can offer insight and new ways to consciously take the reins. You may find hidden treasures within that were buried and forgotten and learn how they influence your thinking and ways of being. I offer experience and training in a spectrum of modalities to teach new practices that open to fresh perspectives that may lead to growth for lasting change.

My interest is in helping you live your life fully. What do you know, and love, about yourself? What troubles you, no matter how much you work on it? And what are those unthought knowns–the truths about yourself that you don’t yet tell yourself? There is great healing power in learning them and learning how to use them. When someone enters a treatment with me, I feel the deep honor of accompanying that person on a significant journey. During the 30 years I’ve done therapy, I’ve become increasingly impressed by the power of a life story. How do we nurture the qualities that define us, make life more exciting and satisfying?

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.

Are you struggling with relationships, self-worth, boundaries, chronic health issues, motivation, purpose, anxiety, or depression? Do you long to deeply understand yourself so you can live a more connected and fulfilling life? Would you like to feel more loving and accepting of yourself, including parts of yourself you've rejected or felt shame about? I offer an empowering therapeutic process that helps you find more of your own inner wisdom and self-love. With compassion and acceptance we will explore the ways that your beliefs, old survival strategies, and unresolved emotions block you from what you most deeply desire.

Seeking counseling is a responsible way to take care of what matters most. As Toni Morrison told us, "It's good when you've got a woman who is a friend of your mind." I welcome diverse clients navigating many situations and specialize in recovery and post-traumatic growth from narcissistic abuse, misuse, and relational or social trauma. I also focus on loss, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustments to changes, life stages, and the promises and pitfalls of pursuing an authentic creative life.

Self-actualization is the humanistic idea that we all move toward our highest potential. Easier said than done as most of us get stuck, face difficulties in life, or struggle with specific mental health issues. I am dedicated to integrative, goal-oriented counseling based on acceptance, compassion and deeper understanding of self in order to change limiting thoughts and behaviors, gain relief from suffering and move forward. The most important aspect of our work together is building a relationship based on trust and respect so that you can achieve the positive action YOU desire.

Sexual addiction (SA) is a hidden addiction. It is a global problem, under-reported, and largely untreated. SA harms relationships, creates relational trauma for partners, and damages trust and intimacy in relationships. Addicts often engage in secrecy and feel shame and guilt about their behavior. Partners often feel betrayed and traumatized by the addicts behavior. Intimacy issues are often an underlying concern for both individuals and for couples. Like other addictions, SA can get progressively worse over the years. If untreated, SA can lead to relationship loss, divorce, job loss. financial problems, and legal problems.

I am passionate about working with families, individuals, and couples to help generate the change they desire. As an individual and family counselor, I believe that we hold and can find the answers to our problems. We create solutions and understandings that work for us in our environments. Therefore, I endeavor to create a friendly, informative, and supportive relationship where challenges can be explored and addressed in the best ways possible. It is important to me to counsel others with acceptance, honesty, and compassion. I enjoy learning about the lives and experiences of every type of person. I accept most clients.

Accepting New Clients! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have about 8 years of experience with adult individuals, couples, adolescents and families in agency settings and private practice. I like working with adults and mature teens with a variety of mental health and relationship concerns. I have a relaxed, relational approach, and practice from a person-centered basis. I seek to know those that I see at a deep level, and believe that everyone is capable of understanding and changing aspects of themselves given a positive and supportive therapy environment. I strive to instill hope and promote personal growth and healing.

At Quality Counseling Services we offer individual and family counseling for every sort of issue that you and your loved ones are dealing with. Our goal is to provide a space for you and/or your family to work through difficulties in a manner that brings insight and resolution.

My focus is on helping people discover their innate sense of Self and purpose in life. Energies necessary for vitality, joy, and love can sometimes become blocked by trauma and its effects—including anxiety, panic, depression, or PTSD, and when one considers all that is happening in our world these days, simply coping can seem to push us to our limits.
