Couples Counseling Therapists in Bend, OR

From teens to seniors, individuals or couples , from people searching for a little motivation or clarity in their life, to those in need of processing complex trauma, I am available to provide support for a broad range of needs and goals.

I welcome adult clients bringing relationship issues, personal life challenges, eager for personal growth, experiencing anxiety or depression, or needing healing from life trauma experiences. I integrate a variety of approaches best suited to your reason for coming to counseling combined with your own internal resources and strengths. My work is heavily informed by interpersonal neurobiology, attachment psychology, somatic engagement, developmental psychology, and experiential psychology rooted in focused mindfulness. Mindfulness is an evidence-based approach which enhances the effectiveness of all psychological interventions.

I work with individual, couples and families to gain deeper insight and awareness. My approach to therapy is diverse and individualized to best meet the needs of each person. My approach to therapy is similar to my approach to life — straightforward and compassionate. My strength lies in creating a safe environment where you can explore underlying patterns and insecurities and begin to live out of a place of healing.

Finding someone to speak with and asking for help is a courageous step. I understand how it can be to share personal information with someone you have just met and I will hold this position with respect. Many people come to therapy for support with anxiety, depression, stress, loss and relationship issues. For some, therapy is more about understanding themselves, changing patterns of behavior that are outdated and they are making efforts to move forward. Therapy is not about advice giving, although many times, problem solving is part of the process. Change seems more likely when there is someone listening to us and we feel encouraged. It's also useful to speak with someone who has knowledge of the most effective strategies for change. It is my hope that whatever your reason for seeking therapy, together we can create a useful experience for you.

I am not currently accepting new patients, however if your need is not imminent I would be happy to add you to my waitlist. We all face challenges throughout our lives that can leave us feeling stuck, distressed, isolated or confused. During these times, therapy can help us to move towards the relief, change, and fulfillment we may be longing for. As a therapist, I strive to meet you wherever you are when we begin our work together. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative one, offering safety, confidentiality, and support. Together we share an investment in your growth, healing and more lasting change.

I generally take a strength-based approach believing that the mind and body can and wants to optimize, learn, and heal.
