Therapists in Southeast, Eugene, OR

Apologies, my practice is full. I support clients in addressing issues related to identity, relationship and belonging. My work is anchored in a Relational model of care whose aim is to support the development and maintenance of mutually beneficial and sustainable relationships. I work with clients to identify and cultivate resources, supports and protective factors so they may feel increasingly more secure navigating life.

Much of my work focuses on resolving trauma wounding, with highly effective models of care such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

Hi! I believe everyone is capable of healing, growth and positive change. I bring compassion, humor and authenticity to our counseling relationship. My work reflects my values and is strengths-focused, trauma-informed, anti-racist, and LGBTQIA-affirming. During our most difficult times, we develop coping strategies that serve us and keep us safe. I work with people to examine which strategies still benefit them and which they want to adjust or let go. People often enter therapy caught in shame or the belief they are somehow broken. We can work together to find skills that benefit you and build on strengths you already possess.

I tend to work with a few different types of clients given my specializations. First, I work with families who find themselves struggling. There are various reasons for the struggle, but that is what we unpack and figure out how to best move forward to improve the well-being of all. Second, I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression. This can be children, teens, or adults, and tend to be successful at ameliorating symptoms. Lastly, I work with individuals struggling to manage stress, this could be anyone, but recently a number of my clients are college students needing support navigating stressful transitions.

I am a licensed psychologist who utilizes mindfulness-based therapies in my approach to treatment. I have worked with many patients experiencing varied mental health concerns, including stress, depression, grief, anxiety, eating disorders and sleep disorders. I will work with you to identify what you value in life and help you find ways to engage in a way that is aligned with your valued outcome. Typically, what lands people in my office is a gap between how they are living their lives and how they want to be living their lives. Our work together would focus on closing this gap.

Practice is Full: Not Accepting New Clients My work with clients is flexible and tailored to your needs. Some folks appreciate concrete coping, relaxation, non-violent communication, or parenting tools. Others seek support in finding their calling, maximizing relationships, understanding family of origin patterns and cycles, better understanding their thoughts, emotions, or choices, or uncovering and integrating central parts of the self. From dream work to study habits, I hope to find ways to connect, heal, and integrate.

I am an individual and relational therapist who strives to create a safe and nurturing space for empowerment and healing. I work towards facilitating skill development that can increase self-reflection and improve the quality of relationships. I honor the courage it takes to seek support and deeply appreciate the privilege, as well as the transformative power of working collaboratively with clients.

As difficult and painful as they may seem at times, our struggles can offer us opportunities to discover more about ourselves and our potential. Utilizing a unique blend of mental health counseling, whole person life coaching, and mindfulness tools, I can support you in breaking free from your limitations, allowing you to move forward with conviction and confidence toward new opportunities. Through this process, you can learn to trust your intuition and act with personal integrity. The value you place upon yourself may grow and you may discover that you are capable of achieving far more than you once thought possible.

I am currently not taking new clients. I bring 30+ years of experience working with a wide array of clients. I provide supportive counseling and solution focused problem solving on basic life issues. I strive to create a safe, supportive space for my clients to explore what they want to work on. I believe being heard and understood are essential to healing. I am flexible in my approach and techniques to suit a client's needs. I see individual adults 18 and older. I cannot take any Medicare or Medicaid insurances.

My first intention is for you to feel empowered, nurtured and strengthened by the work we do together. I believe whole-heartedly that you deserve your best life and together we will remove the obstacles that are standing in the way of your well-being. I work with adults and youth experiencing anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, family strain, trauma recovery, and the desire for greater peace and happiness. Together we will define and design your "special recipe" for balance, ease, and joy. I help people tap in to their own wisdom for healing and making their dreams manifest.

Sometimes we get stuck in old patterns, and we have more difficulty feeling connected, in alignment, and in choice. I know that each of us has incredible capacity for healing within us. I also know that challenging experiences can cause us to use strategies that separate us from our strength, tenderness, and vitality. By bringing awareness to our thoughts, our body sensations, and our emotions in a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, we can transform our beliefs about ourselves and our world. This creates new neural pathways and can positively shift how safe, worthy, regulated, empowered and aligned we feel in our lives.

I work mostly with adults wanting to increase security in their connections & growth in their lives. I'm a trauma specialist, with specific skill helping clients navigate sexual assault and/ or abuse, childhood emotional neglect, as well as identifying and coping with the impacts of parental addictions. I support individuals transitioning towards gender and sexuality identity affirmation. I primarily utilize IFS, Somatic therapies, and EMDR to support my clients.

Many people feel overwhelmed at times by feelings of depression, anxiety, compulsive and self-destructive behavior and addictions. Sometimes relationships are stressful and challenging rather than being sources of enjoyment, support and meaning. My goal is to create a safe place in which to begin the healing process. I provide a structure where clients can process and integrate difficult issues, change self-destructive thoughts and behaviors and improve their relationships with others. I primarily use Internal Family Systems therapy.

For many years I have provided individual and couple therapy, working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and conflict. And along the way I have added biofeedback, narrative therapy, guided imagery, hypnosis, EMDR, and Brainspotting to my tool belt. I am Certified in Brainspotting and I'm an ASCH Approved Consultant in clinical hypnosis.

"During difficult times I teach people how to better manage their lives and how to avoid feeling victimized by outside circumstances. I establish rapport easily with people and accept people exactly where they are. I create a safe, trusting environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills which may include: improving self-esteem, setting boundaries, making healthy decisions, managing stress and anxiety. As a person begins to have a healthier relationship with themselves, it allows them to take ownership of their life and manage it more productively. "

I offer therapy that's largely integrative, pulling from several different theories and adapting my approach to best fit the identities, needs, and style of each client. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment in which my clients can feel both supported and challenged. Having a space to share vulnerably and work on personal growth and healing is a great opportunity, but it's also very hard work! Since I ask my clients to show up vulnerably, I try to do the same, bringing my authentic self to the room. I look forward to conversations about how our similarities and differences impact our work.
