Therapists in Santa Clara, Eugene, OR

My caseload is full, please contact about waitlist. I'm a couples & family therapist, supporting individual and relational clients working through trauma, anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, relationship challenges, codependency, grief, identity exploration, and transitions. The therapy process is as unique as the individual and I collaboratively work in helping you achieve the change you want to see. I take a holistic, systemic approach using Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and EMDR to understand each client and their context to create a supportive and empowering space to explore together.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous choice. I believe therapy offers a supportive, non-judgmental, and inclusive space in which to explore your innate capacity for growth and healing. I support children, adults, and families with concerns related to eating disorders, trauma and dissociation, LGBTQ+ experiences, chronic illness/disability issues, anxiety, somatic concerns, and life transitions. My therapeutic relationships are most often marked by compassion, warmth, humor, and empathy, and my overall approach is collaborative and client-centered, embodied by intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, and social justice-oriented values.

Welcome! Seeking support and asking for help is the first, and often the most difficult, step in the healing journey. I celebrate this step with you, and I am honored you are here. In my work with children, adolescents, individuals and families I strive to create a warm and genuine connection that provides a sense of partnership. Together we will highlight the strengths, identify the challenges and navigate the waves of change, helping you reach the sense of well-being you are desiring.

I enjoy supporting individuals, children and families. My style is warm and down to earth. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Brief Solution Focused, and Play Therapy to assist you, or your child, in sharing your story, resolve conflicts and accomplishing peaceful change. It is my belief that problems are often developed and sustained through well-established habits of thinking and behavior. I provide a safe setting, and have a respectful approach, to addressing problems. I work in partnership with you utilizing your strengths and resources to create positive change!

Life is a rich and beautiful opportunity for growth, yet sometimes everything seems overwhelming, and it's hard to find a way forward. How do we balance relationships, work, and our own wellbeing when our mind is racing and emotions overpower us? You do not have to do it all alone.

My focus is on helping people discover their innate sense of Self and purpose in life. Energies necessary for vitality, joy, and love can sometimes become blocked by trauma and its effects—including anxiety, panic, depression, or PTSD, and when one considers all that is happening in our world these days, simply coping can seem to push us to our limits.
