Women's Issues Therapists in Florence, OR

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.

Taking New Clients! I provide individual, couples, and family counseling for youth and adults. I believe in a collaborative relationship exploring issues and creating ways to improve personal growth. I have a Person Centered approach, with a mix of treatment tools to reflect, validate, and support each client as they journey through their counseling experience. I enjoy working with the Client to identify their goals and support them as they heal.

As an EMDR board certified therapist, I am committed to helping survivors of trauma heal. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with acute and complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship issues. Through EMDRIA/CPT board certifications, advanced trainings, consultations with leaders in the field of trauma informed psychotherapy, and working at the PTSD clinic at Veteran's Health Administration, I have mastered how to refine and customize culturally competent treatments to fit each individual’s unique needs and improve therapeutic outcomes for trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, and eating disorders.

I am accepting NEW clients. I am seeking clients who are ready to work on their personal struggles and gain insight into what is triggering symptoms. I am interested in individuals who are on the spectrum, the LGBTQIA community, Self-esteems and self love concerns, generational trauma, post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, and depression. I will be offering the following hours Monday-Sunday, with flexibility meant to help client's get the help they need. I will also be offering crisis care via email or phone.

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. My work with clients reflects my values of transparency, respect and courage. Much of my work focuses on resolving trauma wounding, with highly effective models of care such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

I work with people who are coping with transitions in all stages of life. These are times when we feel vulnerable. We may need extra support and a safe place to explore what is happening and how we are responding. Negative experiences and traumas from the past may be reawakened and our self worth is challenged. I am experienced working with clients of diverse backgrounds, ages and customs with a range of concerns from relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, perinatal & parenting issues and trauma. I am passionate about this work and what can be accomplished in a collaborative, non-judgmental, respectful and intentional alliance.

Maybe you're trying all that you know how to do, and still feeling stuck, anxious, or discouraged. You're finding it difficult to navigate changes in your life, your relationships aren't what you would like, or your self-confidence has slipped or seems non-existent. Sometimes, the most helpful thing may be to find a counselor to support you along the way. My approach to counseling is strength-based, personalized to your needs, and founded on the belief that you possess a tremendous capacity for growth & healing.

It has been my joy to walk with clients towards their personal therapeutic goals for wellness with compassion and insight for over 17 years. My therapeutic focus is to assist you in identifying your strengths and current developmental process and how internal and external influences might be interfering. Working with children for over 6 years, I have come to understand the conflicts young people are facing in their lives today. We all have creative ways of expressing ourselves unique to each of us. I have found various expressive forms invaluable tools for individual and interpersonal emotional healing.
