Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Wasco County, OR

As a compassion focused therapist, my goal is creating a non-judgemental, safe, and caring space for you to grow and heal in. I bring a curious and compassionate approach to get to know you, your unique history, and your hopes for growth and healing. Together we work on addressing your specific needs and goals, in a way that is created just for you. Therapy doesn't need to be scary and intimidating. It can be a safe and caring space for us to simply be ourselves and authentically explore our lives.

My clients often have a history of (or ongoing) trauma, including medical trauma, attachment trauma, single-incident traumatic events, and complex trauma; difficulty coping with chronic illness and/or disability (e.g., EDS, MCAS, POTS, gastrointestinal issues, cancer, autoimmune disease, mobility issues); anxiety/panic disorders; obsessive-compulsive disorder; and/or dissociative disorders. Many of my clients have complex cases. Some choose to do long-term depth work with me, while others may see me to work toward more immediate goals.

Healing is messy, confusing and scary. My goal as a therapist is to help create a safe and open space for my clients to explore their own healing journey.

Nature, mindfulness, and somatic healing lie at the core of the work I aim to do with clients with skills and psychoeducation sprinkled in. I am currently have become interested in working with transgendered individuals as well. Trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, OCD, transgender care, no matter the experience, lets work through it together.

Each of us is unique and has encountered challenges that shape who we are. What I offer is a safe, confidential space to navigate your concerns with a down-to-earth, open-minded, and objective, highly trained professional. Sometimes, we need someone to talk to and hold space for us. Sometimes we need someone who will challenge our perspective to help shift the way we have been looking at a problem. Sometimes we need someone to come down into the rabbit hole with us and help us find our way out. Let's find meaningful, intentional ways for you to engage with and live your life fully.

I'm passionate about helping my clients break toxic patterns and set healthier boundaries. I specialize in working with the adult children of parents with borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Additionally, I love to work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and OCD. My style is supportive, honest, and direct with a bit of humor sprinkled in. I love being a therapist, but I'm definitely not the perfect therapist for everyone. I'm straightforward, bubbly, and use profanity on occasion to emphasize a point.

People often consider therapy because they want to achieve a goal (satisfying job, rewarding relationships) or because they have had an experience they want to talk through in private. I consider therapy a success when you leave feeling capable of being your own therapist. I work on a client’s capacity to independently manage their feelings and problems. I want you to be able to adapt to reality on its own terms so that you can build a meaningful and sustainable life. To do this I take an approach that is interactive, transparent, and conversational. I am currently licensed in California, Washington, Oregon, and Texas.
