Therapists in Sisters, OR

For detailed information visit: theroostcounseling.com. My goal is for you to have choice in your life. In my work with clients I focus on reducing negative beliefs, strengthening relationships, increasing mindfulness, and incorporating life events. I enjoy working with children, adults, and families who are in transition or have experienced recent or ongoing life changing events or trauma.

I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and have worked in outpatient clinics (including RTC), and private practice. Client's who feel safe, secure, and trusts the therapeutic relationship can begin the healing process, and discover common patterns in their thoughts and behaviors. Past relationships tend to shape current interactions with others. I believe the basic assumptions are that people are doing the best they can, want relief from their emotional distress, and to have quality relationships. The goal of therapy is having quality relationships that enable clients to develop healthy choices to fill unmet needs.

Welcome New Clients, email me to get started! Life is hard and everyone can benefit from talking to a therapist from time to time. Many clients I work with are struggling to redefine themselves after major life events, coping with loss and age related changes. Some are beginning their journey as young adult while others nearing their end of life. I'm trained in Geriatric Mental Health including dementia and navigating care needs. I can help people with relationship difficulties, codependency and self esteem. I'm skilled in helping adults with ADHD discover new ways of thinking and being that can make life easier and more enjoyable.

We live in an ever-changing world that can feel overwhelming at times. We often feel disconnected from our friends and family. Sometimes it can feel hard to re connect. We have become a society of people who struggle with feelings we were once unfamiliar with. Anxiety, depression, and worry. I have spent much of my career working with individuals in an inpatient setting and through community based clinical programs. I began to see a significant need available private practitioners who accepted insurance and had availability. I prioritize principles of self-compassion, mindfulness, and decreasing screen time

Sometimes a sense of depression can be an alert to a spiritual emptiness or exhaustion that does not benefit from being pathologized or vilified as something "wrong" with you. It can signal an opportunity to release yourself from distractions and limitations that do not serve your deeply held values. If you want to explore your broken heart or disconnection in a holistic way, I invite you to begin the conversation to discover its deeper purpose. I work with individuals age 14 +, exploring the meaning in life, who want to develop healthy ways of managing distress, navigating change and creating opportunity for self-discovery.

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.

As a person and as a counselor my focus is on developing relationships that foster wholeness. I am not interested in diagnosing and treating symptoms. I help clients who are interested in going deeper into their humanity and discovering the richness that can be found in seeking wholeness. I work with youth, adults, and couples who are experiencing existential, spiritual, and/or relational problems.
