Depression Therapists in Eugene, OR

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.

I am constantly humbled by the ways those I work with teach me and make me a better human, and I believe we all have within us the innate, resilient power to heal ourselves.

My primary focus as a counselor is working with individuals in transitionary phases of their lives to regulate anxiety, depression and trauma responses that can occur with change and other life stressors. As a mental health counselor, I strive to facilitate awareness of the mind-body connection. The impact of everyday stressors and past experiences on physical and emotional health is often overlooked. Identifying thought patterns and behaviors that impact your interactions in the world and overall feelings about self can help you to work toward living your authentic life in contentment and joy.
