Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Medford, OR

My therapy practice has focused on interventions for complex family systems including co-parenting after divorce, raising special needs children or supporting patients with navigating agency involvement (child welfare, corrections, education). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) whose career was founded in Pediatrics. I have a strong commitment to helping families develop secure relationships and additionally offer attachment couples counseling using PACT, EFT and IFS models.

We are all rich in resources, both inner and outer, and full of potential in connection to all that we truly are—but most of us are asleep to this constant invitation to a more fulfilling life. A teacher once pointed out that healing is more a matter of subtraction than addition. Instead of chasing after something we believe we lack, we can, with help, take steps to face what is really happening inside us and within our relationships. With attention, awareness and willingness to begin, we take steps together on a journey in which barriers can melt away.

I have a deep appreciation for the innate wisdom and resilience that resides within every individual.

A wonderful image of where good therapy can lead is of a knitter transforming a pile of chaotic threads and snarled knots into something beautiful, intentional, and nurturing. The internal elements that create your experience of life can truly learn new stories to live in and be safely released from stories of fear, shame, and contraction. As your therapist, I will help you hold your commitment and courage by guiding your relationship with yourself at a pace that is sustainable yet brave, using tools that will help you lovingly meet and free your lifeforce from old survival strategies and step into a much more creative existence.

It is a great honor to travel alongside a person who has decided to embark upon a path of discovery, whether wanting to understand issues regarding relationships, what drives reactions, achieving growth and healing, coping with grief & loss, or the aging process. I believe that we are all capable of transforming old beliefs into new freedoms, and of moving beyond the patterns we have developed in the past as a response to our surroundings. If we choose to work together, I am committed to working collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families to co-create change. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that problems are created and healed in relationships.

I believe every client can reach an ideal state of mental health. Clients can expect to experience mental, emotional, and spiritual health in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. In addition, clients can expect to find compassion, comfort, and forgiveness for personal and relational pain. A client who struggles with fears, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or other mental, emotional, and spiritual struggles can expect support, help, and resolutions. Through a collaborative and therapeutic relationship, clients will discover for themselves the power, freedom, and beauty of their true-selves. There is always hope.

Are you a woman who suffers from anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma related symptoms? I work with individuals who can benefit from the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address mental health symptoms. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy approach that aims to alleviate distress associated with traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, burnout and so much more. Additionally, EMDR allows you to regain a sense of control in your life and can enable you to release the grip of past traumas and move towards a more adaptive and resilient future.

Hello! I support teenagers, young adults and adults navigating life challenges and transitions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, behavioral health. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and am honored to support those who are navigating conception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

I work from a relational model and primarily use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

I provide a welcoming, collaborative, comfortable space that supports my clients through the process of self-discovery, insight, emotional healing, and positive change. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking solutions for connection and intimacy. I have a special interest in perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, infertility, and supporting individuals and couples as they navigate the parenting process. I also enjoy supporting families and adults who are looking for strategies to effectively navigate the ways in which ADHD symptoms may impact their relationships.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.

There are many reasons individuals seek counseling and regardless of those reasons I believe every individual can benefit from counseling. Change occurs through self acceptance, self actualization, and self motivation. My goal is to facilitate self exploration by discussing concerns regarding family, relationships, stress, self esteem, and mental health diagnosis. Though I have worked with a variety of individuals, my particular counseling focus is on thought processes and how those processes impact overall functionality.

Are you struggling with daily stressors and significant life events that show up as anxiety, depression or intense overwhelming feelings? Do you experience a lack of motivation or focus? Do you struggle with navigating healthy relationships and everyday living, or do you simply want to explore your behaviors and motivations in life? Together we can better understand how culture, background and core values impact how we behave in order to get our needs met.

I believe each person is innately capable of employing their own strengths and making their own choices toward growth and fulfillment. This often requires a great level of introspection and rediscovering strengths we do not know we have, practicing new skills, and releasing ourselves from lifelong negative beliefs we have held about ourselves and others. I want therapy to empower you. If you struggle with self-confidence or self-worth, my goal is to help you realize you are capable of achieving your own goals. I particularly enjoy working with clients with a history of trauma, anxiety, disordered eating, depression, or shame.

I am passionate about working with families, individuals, and couples to help generate the change they desire. As an individual and family counselor, I believe that we hold and can find the answers to our problems. We create solutions and understandings that work for us in our environments. Therefore, I endeavor to create a friendly, informative, and supportive relationship where challenges can be explored and addressed in the best ways possible. It is important to me to counsel others with acceptance, honesty, and compassion. I enjoy learning about the lives and experiences of every type of person. I accept most clients.

I believe that as human beings we are constantly being challenged by life to stand up to our fears and learn how to be true to ourselves. Counseling is helpful, often times critical, during times of crisis when a person's inner strength has become overwhelmed, confused or blocked by the stormy issues of life. Resolving these issues is a very complex matter which involves great care and skill, skills such as: processing intense emotions, healing traumatic memories, correcting obsolete negative (fear-based) beliefs about oneself and communicating assertively.
