Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Florence, OR

No one makes it through life without picking up stuff that weighs us down or holds us back. Counseling gives us the chance to examine why we're carrying this stuff around and how to let go of it. By using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy along with a mixture of therapeutic styles, we will work together to uncover the thoughts and beliefs that drive your emotions and behaviors so that you can move forward in your life with confidence. My associates and I work with adults of all ages and with any level of mental health goals or concerns.

As your therapist, my compassion and understanding allows me to connect with you on a deeper level. This therapeutic relationship, starting from our first meeting, allows you to feel trusted, safe and hopeful in addressing your current or past issues. I am very passionate about helping you find solutions to overcome your obstacles so that you can reach your highest potential. I work with adults of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, life-transitions, grief and loss, career and academic burn out, relationship issues, trauma and many other challenges.

Currently not accepting new clients. I believe that change can occur when a person is provided with a safe and supportive space for exploration and understanding of one’s true self. I work with children, preteens, teens, and young adults from a developmentally sensitive and trauma informed perspective. My approach is based on the belief that the client is the expert on their life and they have internal strength and resources to heal. My role is to accompany you on this journey to find your authentic self.

Life can be heavy, overwhelming, and confusing at times - it can be hard to find connection, feel understood, and valued. Sometimes we all struggle to bring our emotions back into balance, handle difficult feelings, or be effective in relationships. I am here to walk alongside of you through these times. As a therapist who focuses on attachment and connection, we work together in a secure and judgement-free environment where you can learn more about yourself, make goals and create a more meaningful life.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious? Sometimes the demands of modern life can make us feel out of control. When we are suffering, we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We can lose confidence and make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. The coping strategies we adopted in childhood can become our defensive mechanisms in adulthood and we can often find ourselves repeating old patterns of behaviour that don't work but we don't know how to find a way to break the cycle.

Not accepting new patients at this time. I believe that each person has inherent worth, wisdom and the capacity to develop in ways that can lead toward wholeness and renewed energy for life. My main job is to co-create a therapeutic container where inner and outer healing can take place. I believe that when we listen to psychological symptoms, instead of ignoring or resisting them, we are more likely to find out what is out of balance and needs further integration in ourselves.

You are probably here due to your strength & survival skills. I bet you've read self-help books, and blogs & watched videos to help yourself. You've probably achieved success at work, in your career, or at home, but somehow still feel like no matter how hard you try, "you're never good enough." Something brought back the painful, unwanted memories you tried so hard to forget & patterns that hold you back on the inside. Imagine yourself one day waking up without re-living your past, enjoying life, feeling more fully present every moment, safe enough to explore friendships, & romantic relationships, & having the ability to say no!

However you are feeling at this moment, you have deep, natural sources of resilience inside you. My job as a therapist is to help you tap into the resources of your mind, body, and spirit, so that you can take charge of your own healing and growth. Often, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors causing us the most difficulty right now have their roots in old coping strategies that once helped us to survive and care for ourselves. If you are struggling or stuck now, it may be because you are ready to let go of these old patterns and find new ways of being.

Life can be difficult to navigate, and the loss of a loved one or a relationship can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. During these challenging times, I am here to offer my support and help individuals make sense of their world. My aim is to equip them with new tools to cope with struggles, process complex issues, set healthy boundaries, and identify what brings them happiness. I specialize in helping people with bereavement, complex grief, depression, relationships, and anxiety.

Social justice and multicultural humility are integrated into all of my work. Seeking help is hard and you are already being courageous. I only practice trauma informed care with focuses in EMDR, IFS, TFCBT, DBT, among others. All work that I do is client centered and trauma informed, even if it may be systems trauma. I consider myself a collaborative therapist and though I have knowledge, you are the expert in your life. I specialize in ADHD and have years of experience in working with those with concurrent diagnoses. I work with individuals, couples, and families, including polyinformed care.

Are you suffering? I'm here for you! I am an Autism Affirming therapist empowering adults to live their best lives. Although everyone is different, the story usually isn't: “I screwed up! I never get it right! I hate myself and my life!” And why wouldn’t you? That running litany of hate is the voice of your inner critic. It beats you relentlessly in an effort to make you improve. Sadly, it also destroys your self-esteem so completely, that it's a guaranteed formula for failure. You know there is a better way. Whether you are Autistic or not, I'll show you a REAL formula that works.

I believe you are the expert in your own life and my role is to help facilitate the changes you want to make. I provide a safe space for clients to explore past trauma, share vulnerable emotional experiences, and identify barriers to their success. I am passionate about the work I do to help individuals create the lives they desire. I specialize in strengthening relationships, which includes the one you have with yourself. Therapy will increase your awareness of individual and relational components that impact your life. Therapy can be a rewarding experience for those who commit to the process.

Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

¡Hablo Español! I specialize in working with Latinx, immigrants, and BIPOC clients, but I am open to anyone! I work with adults and children with trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, racial identity, and life transitions. I use a holistic approach to healing using theory based and intuition along with EMDR. I work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I understand the Latino culture and beliefs. Understanding these beliefs can be part of the healing process. Healing is a journey which can be achieved with professional help and support. I help my client develop copping skills to reduce stress and achieve their goals.

100% teletherapy - no in person sessions. I have a specialization working with law enforcement, first responders and military. I have a Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide telehealth in the state of Oregon, California and Kansaas. I am also trained in Critical Incident Stress Management and CIT. Shoot me an email if you have any questions that I didn't address on this website.

What I hear most often from clients are, "I've been to other therapists, and you are different. This feels like I'm changing!" When you are with me, you will know that 100% of my attuned attention is with you. I pay attention to what you say, how you say it, what your body movement tells me, and what your history tells me. If you are seeking support for yourself for inner healing from trauma (all sorts), Attachment wounding, Post Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, postpartum depression or anxiety, chronic illness, anxiety, panic, grief, life transitions, or you are in a relationship that needs support, contact me.
