Regence Therapists in Salem, OR

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.

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, you and I 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. I work with adults of all ages and with any level of mental health goals or concerns.

Life is a continual marathon, growth is an ongoing process, success is not defined by a tangible finish line and we as humans can do hard things; however, sometimes seeking therapy helps us get through hard things with the help and guidance of another person. At times, we are able to manage and navigate our struggles and other times our struggles are overwhelmingly difficult. If you feel that you have reached a point where would like assistance improving mental or emotional distress, then you have come to the right place!

Are you depressed, anxious or stressed? Depression, stress, anxiety and relationship problems are the focus of my practice. If you are struggling to make your life work or in a life transition involving your relationship, family or career, I will work with you to improve the quality of your life and to achieve your goals.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of mental and emotional health as they commit to the process of growing in wholeness. As a Person-Centered therapist, I believe that wholeness is a result of spiritual, relational, emotional and mental wellbeing. I believe that counseling provides opportunities for self-awareness and personal growth within the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Emailing is quickest for responses. Through my work I am constantly inspired by the resilience and growth of the clients I have the privilege to work alongside with!

I focus on creating a comfortable environment in which you can form a deeper understanding of yourself as we carefully explore the root causes of your emotional distress, behaviors, or patterns. Together, we will work to build you toward a life full of contentment and healing. I am honored to walk with you through your journey!

Discovering who we are, where we came from and what has transpired in our lives is vitally important in understanding how we relate to others and the world around us. My approach to counseling utilizes the Family Systems Model and Cognitive-Behavioral techniques.  I believe our past experiences and environments help us to develop how we think and respond to life’s stresses.  This is where CBT can be helpful in changing false thinking and negative responses. As a client understands themselves and their current situation they can change their thinking process and subsequently their behaviors.

Accepting new clients! Life can be filled with unexpected challenges. These vary from change of life situations to loss of job, marital difficulties, divorce, trauma and grief over the loss of a loved one. I welcome you to explore various ways to navigate these experiences in a safe, sensitive and warm environment. Together we can find creative and positive approaches tailored to your circumstances. As a team we can explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors and take action to reach a positive outcome!
