Therapists in Ashland, OR

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? I am a European-born therapist with close to two great decades of counseling individuals and couples challenged with life stressors and transitions, trauma, lack of intimacy, relationship issues, self-esteem and image, mood, focus, grief, addictions... Over the years I have successfully supported youth, adults, couples and families from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. Please note, the demand for services can be overwhelming, I try to respond to each inquiry if at all possible.

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.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.

Have you ever felt like everyone else got the manual on how to live, while you were left figuring things out alone? Perhaps you've spent years navigating a world not designed for you while having to mask as an Autistic person, or compensate for your challenges with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, and more. If this resonates with you, I'm here to help.

I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness. Using mindfulness based practices I focus on supporting clients in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and identity issues. In session I emphasize bringing the client’s attention out of thoughts/stories and into their present moment bodily experience with the understanding that more immediate change can occur this way. I enjoy experiencing the client and counselor relationship as a microcosm of the client’s greater relational life, and an opportunity to do deep healing.

It is truly possible to live a happy, balanced and serene life, and to be your authentic self in the process. Addictions, anxiety and depression don't have to be your norm nor the secrets you keep. You don't have to fake it to make it, nor do you have to suffer isolated and alone. I help individuals, couples and families sort things out and get on with living. Call today and let's talk about the changes you are seeking and how I can help.

Greetings, We all live with moments of transition, exploration and increasing amounts of questions. This often leads to exploration of identity, gender, sexuality, and more. As a queer and affirming therapist, I am honored to have the opportunity to walk beside you and help support you with therapeutic tools, learning new practices, exploring fear and identifying opportunities for growth. We will work together in a collaborative and respectful manner, with you leading the way to your own recovery and goals.

My desire is to work with people who are exploring their relationships and sexuality, whether monogamous or non-monogamous. I am kink friendly and sex positive. I have experience working with depression, anxiety and substance use disorders, although these are not my current primary focus. I think that the mind-body connection is essential, both in expressing desire and maintain lifelong health.
