Transpersonal Therapists in Ashland, OR

I want you to feel seen and heard. Through compassion and empathic presence, I offer a safe space for you to heal, grow and come to more self-understanding, self- awareness and most importantly, self-acceptance. Do you ever feel stuck in the same cycles of life? Do you ever feel like you know what you "should" do but somehow you continue to end up in the same patterns? We all have to navigate the complexities of our lives and sometimes it makes all the difference to have a professional therapist to help navigate it with you.

Struggle is unnecessary; there is nothing you need to become. You already possess the resources necessary to live a joy-filled, passionate and purposeful life. It's simply a matter of releasing the limiting thoughts and beliefs which keep you stuck in patterns that don't work. This paves the way for you to recognize and reconnect with your inner wisdom and utilize the full strength of your natural potential. Begin your journey of alignment with the wisdom within; awaken to your highest abilities and passions in the environment of acceptance and compassion of DayLight Awakenings.

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.

My commitment is to offer effective therapy. As a person seeking therapy, you need a counselor who can understand and meet you where healing and growth is waiting to take place within you. Let's connect and find out if that counselor is me. I offer depth therapy that is emotionally sensitive, trauma-informed and transpersonal : integrating soul-searching and the management of daily life & relationships. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of nature therapy, body-centered expression and a receptive, feminine/masculine balanced approach.

I’m highly skilled at seeing the patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck in your life, creating a safe, nurturing, open space for you to discover and explore these patterns, and giving you powerful tools so you can rework those patterns and create the life you’ve always wanted for yourself. If you feel depressed, anxious, empty, isolated, unfulfilled and confused about how to move forward in your life, you’re not alone. I would love to walk with you along your path and help you bring conscious awareness to what is currently stuck & unseen within you. Helping you find and free your true self is my joy and my passion!

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 can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks.
