Experience passion in your marriage and fun in your family. You've spent years building an exceptional family, career, and life but recently have hit a snag.

Congratulations! This was a really difficult first step. Lets face it, we're all works in progress, and sometimes change is hard. My favorite client is someone who is trying, so show me you're making an effort and I'll be happy to help you get where you want to go.

Are you ready to leave the past behind? I specialize in the treatment of adults with issues related to trauma/PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, and addiction. Difficulties in these areas often contribute to relationship disturbances and problems at home, work, or school. After developing an understanding of your circumstances and challenges, together we will develop a treatment plan. Emphasis may be on reducing distress or addressing deeper patterns, trauma, or attachment issues. This may include learning skills, developing resources, gaining insight, or processing past events/memories.

I believe that change is always possible. While often intimidating, therapy can be the first step toward improving your life. Whether struggling with a relationship, anger management, communication skills, parenting, self-identity, depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to identify the maladaptive thought processes, roadblocks and circumstances that have led to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or helplessness. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families to identify life goals, improve self-awareness and communication, and implement lasting change.

In my practice I often work with people who are experiencing feelings of anxiety and depression due to stress, relationship difficulties, important transitions in their lives, trauma, grief and loss. Individuals, couples and families who are experiencing overwhelming emotions can benefit from my supportive approach as they work on their concerns and develop goals. When verbal communication is not enough, I offer clients of all ages creative means to express themselves. My approach is collaborative with clients as they empower themselves within the therapeutic relationship and move towards making positive changes in their lives.

Do you feel anxious too much of the time? Exhausted, disconnected, without purpose or interest? Do you forfeit your own thoughts and feelings in relationship to others? Would you like to deal with difficulties more effectively than the unconscious impulses to comply, defy or flee? Whether it's a distinct problem or a vague discontent that needs resolution, I hold the space to illuminate, guide and empower your progression. This is where talk is strong medicine. Neuroscience reveals that therapy changes brain chemistry & structure. Habitual patterns fall away to a renewed sense of energy, choice and personal authority.

As a mental health therapist, and clinic director at Senua Counseling Clinic, I work from a client centered, integrative approach.

The body and mind are greatly connected and intertwined, which is why I believe in a holistic approach to mental health care. I am happy and honored to provide you with a non-judgmental, safe space for you to tell your story, set your goals, and become the person you were meant to be.

Have you been feeling stuck in your relationships or old memories and experiences you thought you were over? Anxiety, depression and feeling overwhelmed can keep us from being present in our everyday lives. How about communication with those you are close to? Do you avoid hot topics for fear it will lead to another fight? Has infidelity created painful wounds? These are common issues that many people struggle with and yet there are solutions to these difficulties even if you have had the same argument for 30 years. Let me help you navigate a new way with your partner, your family, your co-workers.

I am NOT currently accepting new client referrals. Are you feeling stuck, but don't know where to start? Do you feel as though you're searching for something, but are unsure what it might be? If you have been asking yourself these questions, let me help you on your path to self-discovery. Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming and confusing. My goal is to provide individualized, high-quality mental health care to individuals looking to make changes in their life. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and that my job as a therapist is to help clients reach the point where these changes begin.

Over the last 36 years I have been grateful to be able to help many people with the anxieties of life. I have also helped to resolve couples' conflict, to heal guilt and shame, to manage loss, to heal relationships with living or deceased parents, and to lighten spiritual burdens. A good portion of my practice has been focused on long term recovery from addictions to alcohol, drugs, or sex. I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, grief, ADD, OCD, trauma, and divorce, and I provide counseling for family-owned businesses.

In my practice with individuals and couples, I often use mindfulness-based therapies. Mindfulness has helped a great number of people work through the emotional difficulties that life often presents. Yet I always work in a way that serves my clients best. If you are experiencing emotional distress, I offer you a therapy environment of safety, caring, acceptance, and trust. My goal for all of my clients is to compassionately help them resolve any barriers that are preventing them from living joyfully. I work with any client(s) living in Oregon via a secure teletherapy platform.
