Spirituality Therapists in Florence, OR

When faced with uncertain times it is easy to become lost, losing the connection with ourselves, others, and the world. So many people are being confronted with their fears as things rapidly change from one day to the next. As humxns today, we are being challenged to meet our growth edges, while still needing to tend to the richness of our psyches and souls. During this process, it is natural to feel overwhelmed, confused and powerless. Therapy is a courageous journey towards cultivating internal resources that can leave you feeling connected, nurtured, empowered, and more accepting of the ups and downs that come with life.

Currently accepting new clients. I work to build trust and create a safe space for people to explore themselves and their relationships. Relationships are the bedrock of society, change, and connection. Having a good sense of self requires having a good relationship with yourself. Having fulfilling relationships increases our ability to cope with life, has long term positive effects on our physical and mental health, and makes us happier. If your aware that you struggle with the same cyclical issues, it means you’ve awakened to the fact that what you’ve been doing isn’t currently working for you.

With each client, I work to build a trusted partnership through empathy, honesty and adaptive support. In therapy, I provide a safe space for clients to explore, clarify and move through personal difficulties. Together, we identify goals for therapy, and work strategically to build insight, reduce distress, and change unwanted patterns. Clinically, I approach well-being from an Ecological Model perspective; and often use Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Motivational therapies in my work with clients. However, how therapy looks varies with each person based on their unique needs, cultural contexts, and current circumstances.

Are you an empathic woman who easily feels and holds the energy of what's around you? Do you have difficulty knowing if your thoughts or emotions really belong to you? Are you holding on to past experiences that cause you distress? Are you seeking a holistic and integrative aligned solution to let go of unwanted energy? As an LPC with a Ph.D in counseling psychology and certifications as a Reiki master, clinical hypnotherapist, past life regression hypnotherapist & integrative medicine, I am able to blend these complimentary techniques to help you understand and release what no longer serves you.

Are you suffering from depression, anxiety, the effects of stress or trauma? Are you experiencing conflict or crisis with your spouse or partner?

All of us face experiences in our lives where we can benefit from the support and connection that therapy provides. Scientific evidence demonstrates that a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship is restorative, healing and emotionally regulating. As a therapist, I believe in connecting with clients, human-to-human, and I regularly feel a deep sense of understanding for those with whom I work. There is so much noise around us that it is often difficult for us to hear our own truth. I offer a compassionate, heart-centered space to help you to deeply trust your own inner strength and core values.

I believe in my client's inherent ability to heal and join with them to form a creative and collaborative relationship which promotes growth and transformation. My therapy practice integrates strength based disciplines including Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness based techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
