Divorce Therapists in Stayton, OR

Many of my clients would agree that what they look for in a counselor is someone who "has been there themselves." They look for someone that has the education and experience to successfully assist them. I have that combination of personal experiences and educational background. My goal is to help you feel better, cope with life, and get on the path to a more happy and productive life. I will teach you to identify, solve, and cope with problems. I am Psychedelic's friendly.

If you've ever watched a good movie or seen a compelling drama on the stage, you know the story doesn't resolve itself until the second act. Just as "life imitates art," you may experience situations, thoughts, and emotions road blocking your "second act." I’m honored to help you navigate life choices amidst these roadblocks through my combined approach using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based exposure therapy. ACT is an evidenced-based therapy consistent with the sentiment of the "Serenity Prayer" in focusing on change we can control; letting go of things we cannot.

The fact that you are here, browsing for a potential counselor, is a brave step in the direction of growth, and I would be honored to accompany you on this most heartfelt journey. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, divorce, and feelings of low self-worth, as well as with those who are sober curious, in recovery, or who want to explore behavioral addictions.

Announcement- We have immediate openings, call or email today! As a practice we bring a holistic and collaborative approach to counseling. We see each client as their own individual self with a story. We work with individual adults and children to help them find their pathway to healing and strength through a client-centered approach. When working with children and families we maintain confidentiality for the child while not leaving the parents in the dark. We strive to create a therapeutic environment that is safe, respectful, and without judgment.

Clients typically work with me on life transitions and/or trauma healing. Life transitions (for example: graduation, divorce, moving, coming out, or social and/or medical gender transition) can be destabilizing but also an opportunity to explore our patterns, values, and goals. Trauma healing can be an intimidating process. Many of the people I work with have tried many things to help shift their patterns, change their narratives about themselves and the world, feel safer, and develop a sense of belonging in this world.

Hi there, and thank you for taking the first step towards healing. I know that life can be tough, and sometimes it can feel like the challenges we face are too much to handle. Whether you are a transracial adoptee family stuggling to create a racially neutral space, navigating divorce, or feeling lost and anxious, I want you to know that I understand. Taking both a experiential and narrative approach to listening and understanding your story, I am passionate about working with couples, children, families, and teens. I'll help you explore your inner strengths and resilience, and together, we'll find a path forward towards healing.

My intention as a therapist is to help you feel empowered in your process of self-discovery. I believe everyone can heal and grow to be their best selves with the proper support, tools, and guidance. Therapy is a collaborative process and you and I will work together to make the process right for you. Change is hard, even when it is positive, I will be by your side, helping you navigate the emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that surface as you attempt to break old habits and patterns and begin living an authentic life.

Are you confused? Exhausted? Scared? I can help. I have a unique understanding of unhealthy relationships and how they operate. Most relationships start out hopeful and happy. Many turn at some point and this is where confusion lives. My philosophy is simple...break down where it went wrong and rebuild from there. This takes a lot of work, and a lot of commitment, I won't sugar-coat...but it can be done. Or, perhaps you have issues with non-intimate relationships, maybe a parent, sibling, or child. Or maybe your child has conflicts with your ex. This too can be made healthier.
