Therapists in Yamhill County, OR

I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents experiencing mental health challenges associated with depression and anxiety disorders as well as substance use disorders; relationship, attachment, and interpersonal challenges; and grief associated with death, chronic illness and significant life changes.

The truth... life can be hard. It can feel even more difficult at certain points along the way. Why go through this alone? The suffering of the human heart is something that needs to be heard. Allow me to walk alongside you as you heal and change. If your at a point in your life that feels stuck, lonely, confusing, sad, or even angry, give yourself the opportunity to challenge this and break through. Together, we can discover the events in your life that are your struggles. Whether it's addiction, trauma, relationships or loss, its time to heal and get back to being you.

My desire is to come alongside those who are hurting and help them find hope, a sense of meaning and purpose, and healing. Regardless of whether I am treating an individual, couple or family, I believe that a meaningful, authentic relationship between the client and therapist is essential to the process of healing. My goal is to create a collaborative and safe space for us to enact change in your life and a space where you feel listened to.

Currently Accepting New Clients: I am experienced in helping with a variety of issues from: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, and chronic disease (cancer, Long COVID, Lyme Disease, etc.). I believe a person is a multifaceted mosaic of influences and experiences that brought them to where they are today. My style and modality of therapy is to come along side of you in order to help you uncover the deeper meaning and root causes of your distress without judgment. I offer kindness and warmth in my approach, allowing you to feel at ease and empowered in whatever issues you are facing.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I see individuals, couples and families. I will do my best to help you find solutions to problems in your life. I have been doing this work for twenty five years and really enjoy it! I want to help you to grow and change in ways that will improve the quality of your life and your relationships.

Accepting New Clients! I enjoy working with families, couples, individuals and children. Many of us struggle daily with issues like anxiety, stress, depression, anger or just feeling misunderstood. My approach is to walk alongside you and explore and further process the challenges that may be present in your life. I hope to provide an environment where you may feel safe and accepted. As a MFT graduate student intern, I use attachment-based, existential, and systems frameworks. Together, we may work together exploring patterns in relationships, support systems, past and present experiences, and emotions.

I focus on working with trauma and helping individuals and couples rebuild trust, connection, safety, and security. Almost everything we do, every reaction we have, every decision we make, and every relationship we form ultimately results from our inner dynamics. Therapeutic space allows clients to reconnect with themselves, gain greater self-awareness, learn the tools and skills we need to handle triggers, change unhelpful patterns and overcome life challenges.

"I believe as children, adults, and families grow and go through developmental stages, crisis can occur that lead them to the point of needing some extra support to get through the crisis time. I believe in self determination, and that a person ultimately knows what is best for themself. Additionally, I believe that parents are the experts regarding their own children. Parents know their children better than anyone. Advocacy for children"s safety, health and well being continues to be an important factor in my career, and I believe education is the best way to achieve this."

My goal as your therapist is to help you find the parts of yourself that are wounded and guide/teach you how to heal those areas. I’m eclectic in my approach when it comes to therapy. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic orientations to tailor your sessions specific to your needs.

You can take control of your life. You don't have to live a life suffering from trauma or addiction. You don't have to feel isolated or scared anymore. Finding the right therapist to start your journey isn't easy. I have a wide range of treatment options awaiting anyone willing to take the first steps towards a new start.

NOTE: Currently accepting new clients. Reaching out for help in a constantly changing world takes courage. Changes can be both overwhelming and exciting. You need to know you are not alone. As your therapist, I will partner with you to help find solutions and meaning in the uncertainty you are facing. Emotional distress and relational conflict are common human experiences. I invite you on this journey of self-discovery. I offer you hope and acceptance right where you are. I believe you are wired with resiliency and have the capacity to face life head-on.

I am currently accepting Clients through in person and teletherapy services. I typically work with people who are distressed about a relationship, family dynamics, who experience depression, anxiety, anger, stress, school or work difficulties, peer relationship concerns or have experienced a traumatic event in their lifetime.

Supporting un or newly diagnosed Neurodivergent adults understand how Autism, ADHD, and/or cPTSD impacts their daily life. I specialize in working with women as they are often mis-diagnosed, gaslit, and generally have more difficulty navigating neurodivergence in our society. Throughout our work we hold space for the pain and hurt that comes with having invisible disabilities and how you were treated up to this point in your life by society. My work focuses on helping you understand your system so you can navigate in a way that includes all of the beautiful and wonderful ways your brain works & find your own path in society.
