*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Everyone has a story, that should be heard, and have a space where their healing journey can begin. I aid to create a safe, non-judgement space and a therapeutic relationship for clients to share their story, process their pain, and find healing. I specialize in working with children (5+), teens (12+), women , and couples struggling with feeling stuck, behavioral issues, emotional regulation, anxious distress, depressed mood, grief/loss, postpartum issues, trauma, eating disorders, unhealthy body and food relationship, and communication issues and high conflict.

HEALING begins with one step, STRENGTH is built along the way. I utilize several different counseling techniques to design a unique program for each client. It is my passion to walk with individuals, and families, during their most troubling times, guiding each client as they find strength and hope on their journey towards healing.

As a Mental Health Counselor, I have specific experience working with eating disorders. I have worked with clients in both higher levels of care and outpatient settings. Many people know that they want change, but they are unsure how to make that change a reality, and that's where our work comes in. In addition, our sessions will focus on the whole person, which includes discussing areas involving: anxiety, depression, family and relational dynamics, self-defeating behaviors, and other challenges that might be making it difficult for you to reach your goals.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist, Custody Evaluator, and Parent Coordinator in private practice in Central Oregon with over 20 years of experience in custody dispute and parenting time issues. I specialize in co-parenting, parental alienation, parenting estrangement, and parent-child relationship issues. I also work with teens and adults with addiction issues, social barriers, self-harm behaviors, anxiety, and depression.

If you, or a family member, are struggling with alcohol or substances, I would love to sit down with you and listen. We can decide together what steps you would like to take to create a healthier you. I offer an empathic and genuine relationship, skills, knowledge and experience, in a confidential and non judgemental environment, to help you become the person you would like to be.

Deep inside each of us is a reservoir of wisdom, of knowing what is true for us. Granted, that inner wisdom maybe be layered over with negative messages, unexamined beliefs acquired years ago, noise from the busy-ness of our lives and the chaos of the world, or personal doubt, lack of confidence, confusion. Being present in the body so that we can access that inner wisdom is a crucial aspect of counseling and doing so can help us find the way forward in life. Learning to be fully present in the moment is a gift we can give ourselves as we live our lives and move toward healing and well-being.

Bereavement, suicide loss, loss of a pet, life transitions, difficulties in relationship to others and to self are some of the reasons people seek counseling. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe place for clients to work through problems, discover their strengths, and find hope for healing and change. It takes courage to reach out and seek support when you recognize that what you are doing on your own doesn't seem to be working. My hope is that you will start your journey to healing.

Teletherapy only at this time. My approach utilizes integrative psychotherapy, coming from the perspective of addressing the “whole person”. Considering thoughts, feelings, behavior, and the way our life experiences have shaped the way we see and function in the world.

My approach to counseling is collaborative and my goal is to develop caring, respectful relationships with my clients. I believe everyone can develop new skills and strategies in order to be successful. My therapeutic interventions are holistic and integrative and the specific treatment strategies I utilize in my practice include those drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness Based, and Play Therapy. My practice focuses on promoting healing and resiliency in children, families, and adults. My work is greatly influenced by attachment and developmental theories, brain and trauma research, and the practice of mindfulness throughout the lifespan.

If you are looking for a therapist, it is likely you are ready to experience some change in your life. I provide trauma-focused psychotherapy which can guide you into both transformation and healing. You may be suffering with symptoms of depression, trauma, chronic pain, and anxieties. When you reach out for help, feeling better is an inevitable outcome. Often, when you begin to more mindfully experience your inner world, you may feel more emotional intensity before you feel better. My therapy approach is holistic in the sense that I acknowledge and work with the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

I come along side my clients to help with healing from personal and emotional issues that interfere with their well-being. My hope is to encourage the growth and recovery process. I use Adlerian therapy to help resolve past issues and Cognitive-Behavioral therapy to teach coping skills and healthier ways of thinking and feeling. I believe there is a reason for all issues including depression, anxiety, low self-worth and trauma and I help with discovering that and creating a plan to resolve them. I enjoy helping a person become more capable of making choices and decisions that align with their personal goals.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you to find greater peace, well-being, and confidence. I believe in offering unconditional positive regard and recognizing your inherent strengths and gifts as you create a fulfilling and meaningful life for yourself. Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering can be lessened significantly by processing difficult situations through a self-compassionate lens.

One of my greatest rewards as a therapist is helping clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope and live fully in the present. I believe we all need someone to talk with, who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgement. I provide clients with a warm, non-judgmental environment; a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing them from living the life they want. I have a heart for helping others find deeper meaning and a sense of purpose.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and their families to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with families to support healthier and happier relationships.
