Codependency Therapists in Sandy, OR

Many of my clients are in recovery, have traumatic family dynamics, and generally struggle to feel settled in society. I’m interested in what brought you to the moment of seeking out therapy and how I can support you with getting your needs met. Historically I have worked with people impacted by trauma, especially those whose healing has become complicated by financial difficulties and a broken system. I have over 5 years of experience with trauma, and often help those who experience negative self talk, shame, anxiety, and depression.

Philosophy: I believe that people can learn, grow, and transform themselves to live a healthy life, full of purpose and meaning. I believe that healthy relationships are the main attribute to a healthy, and satisfying life. My goal is to provide a positive environment that expresses empathy, safety, hope, and understanding. I employ holistic mental health therapy by integrating treatment plans that include interventions for mental health, physical well being, and spiritual balance as part of the therapeutic process for the client.

Hello, I specialize in working with Complex Trauma and Anxiety through a Holistic Somatic Based approach. I also utilize EMDR. I have extensive training in understanding the neurobiological effects of trauma and primarily use this training and approach for the majority of client issues whether it be trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues and so on. Many of my clients find this approach intuitive, relatable, and empowering. I work very collaboratively with my clients. Everyone has wisdom within themselves to heal. Together, we will learn how to tap into that wisdom and use it effectively for healing now & overall resilience.

Even in the darkest hours there is hope that healing and wholeness is possible. Do you suffer with the effects of depression, anxiety, addiction, self-loathing or lack of self-esteem? Do you have trouble with anger, communication or setting boundaries? There is hope! You are the author of your own story, and a skilled, caring counselor can help you find the tools you need to navigate through the hard times and be able to feel empowered to continue writing your story.

My approach to counseling is to walk alongside you in your journey towards wellness. My main goal is to assist you in developing insight, discovering who you want to be, as well as change the behaviors that keep you from reaching your goals. I provide guidance and understanding but most importantly I provide a safe, trustworthy and loving environment.

I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach the clients treatment goals. Each client is unique and different, and I adjust according to the clients needs. I work well with clients who are ready to do the work to heal and grow. The client and I are active throughout the counseling process. I have found that this process is a journey towards healing and thriving in all areas of life.
