Bisexual Therapists in Ashland, OR

Facing our mortality can feel scary and isolating. It can feel overwhelming to prepare for death on your own. Where do you even start? Fear prevents us from considering our own passing, and because of this, people often don’t understand their options for dying - how to navigate systems, getting paperwork in place, making arrangements for body disposition, or even recognizing and communicating what types of support would feel best. As a licensed mental health therapist and death doula, I offer compassionate, resourced, and thorough support - whether you're facing your own death or caring for someone who is dying.

You're looking for a therapist! This is an exciting (and maybe daunting) first step in your growth and healing. By exploring this option for yourself, you’re moving closer towards taking your power back and prioritizing your mental and emotional well-being, and that’s huge! My hope is to support you through this process of both unlearning the old patterns of thought and behavior that haven’t felt helpful to you, and learning new ways of navigating the world that allow you to feel connected and aligned.

I help adults and youth through challenging times. Together, we will break down unhelpful patterns and old fears in order for you to make meaningful changes and increase your wellness. I tailor my counseling "toolkit" toward your individual values and health goals and I strive to create safety at all times; giving you options and empowering your healing. I especially appreciate accessing depth work with motivated clients to investigate the root causes of unhappiness. As a graduate of the respected counseling program at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, my foundation is research-driven, while also mind-body and holistically aware.

For those of us who have experienced trauma, we have also experienced a secondary trauma by not having a secure attachment figure or sense of safety to help us co-regulate and repair. Our practice provides an accompanied space where you can feel safe(r) to process trauma and begin the lifelong journey towards healing. We are relational therapists and specialize in working with adult clients of color who have experienced racial trauma, intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse and neglect, complex trauma, transracial adoption and/or adoption-related trauma and anxiety and depression.

I provide sex therapy to adults, seniors, and highly sensitive persons (HSPs) by HIPAA-compliant telehealth. As a sex-positive provider, I am affirming towards all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship types. My clinical specialties include: general sexuality, desire issues and discrepancies, arousal issues, orgasm difficulties, erection/ejaculatory concerns, sexual shame, difficulty relaxing adequately to enjoy intimacy, vulvovaginal and reproductive health, sexual/pelvic pain, LGBTQIA+ populations, and frequency/control concerns.

Individual adults (18+) who are committed to self exploration, challenging past patterns, and growth tend to enjoy my approach. My practice focuses on adults with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that may stem from: lack of identity development (who am I?); adjusting to life changes–such as, going to college, career challenges, coming out, partnering/divorce, death of a loved one, mid-life crisis, retirement, empty nest; relationship conflicts–work or personal; past trauma; poor attachment to childhood caregivers; or having a marginalized identity (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, immigrants, etc.).
