Self Esteem Therapists in 97128

I believe that each person has an enormous capacity to recover from trauma and difficult experiences when provided with a safe, warm, and supportive environment. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to participate in the therapeutic relationship with clients and help equip and empower them in their healing journeys. My practice is a client-centered, strengths-based approach rooted in attachment theory. I believe that the therapeutic process is adaptable; Because of this, I draw on several evidence-based theoretical frameworks (play therapy, attachment theory, trauma-focused CBT, DBT) depending on what best fits each client.

Life feels really tough right now (to be honest, maybe it's been tough for a while) and nothing you've tried seems to make a difference. Maybe your relationship with a partner, family member or friend has gone off track, leaving you feeling hurt, misunderstood or alone. Maybe your relationship with yourself is struggling, weighted by negative thoughts and difficult feelings that don't accurately reflect who you are or who you want to be. You're not feeling like your best self, and you're ready to make a change.

For me an ideal client would be someone that is seeking support to make an honest change for themselves and in doing so, utilize the tools and supports that they are receiving to build up their own confidence to make these changes. Often it is difficult and uncomfortable to make changes, however, with skills put in place, it can lessen the struggle and increase the person's independence and self-esteem.

Currently Accepting NEW clients in person (McMinnville) and Telehealth. Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and for taking time to care for yourself. Take a deep breath, seeking therapy services is brave so if this is as far as you go, well done- but I do hope you choose to stay! Therapy can be hard work so I'm not afraid to bring a touch of humor and a little bit of sass to keep things moving!

Some of my areas of practice include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, self-esteem, life transitions, spiritual concerns, premarital counseling, and relationship struggles.

Are you getting what you want out of life? I help my clients identify and let go of negative feelings, old behavior patterns, and ways of thinking that prevent them from living the life they want. Counseling can help you experience the joy of self-acceptance and the peace of mind that comes with healthy self-esteem. In the process, you can create stronger relationships, improve your communication with others, and see new possibilities for your life.

Are you struggling to become who you want to be? Do you feel stuck watching the world move as you stand still? Or are you facing a transitional time? Antoine de Saint-Expery once said "A goal without a plan is only a wish". It is time to become who you're meant to be! Together, let's identify the obstacles and practice the needed skills to get there. I find it incredibly rewarding to help individuals learn about themselves, increase self-esteem, and power through the anxiety and depression to cultivate a life filled with satisfaction and social-emotional maturity.

I love working with people who are aware they are suffering and are ready to engage in the deep and meaningful process of healing. The soul of my work is person-centered and attachment-focused. This means that I respect and honor each person's individual process and trust that they will share the vulnerable parts of themselves when they are ready and feel safe to do so, and that I am committed both as a person and as a therapist to listen to what they share with openness, authenticity, and a deep desire to understand.

I work with an emphasis towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modalities. I have experience doing crisis work and as a therapist in the school system. I am also trained in Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Now accepting new clients and OHP insurance. I focus on helping couples and individuals rebuild trust, connection, safety, and security in the key relationships in their lives. Almost everything we do, every reaction we have, every decision we make, and every relationship we form ultimately results from our inner dynamics, and I help clients identify and work through these dynamics. Therapeutic space allows clients to feel heard, reconnect with themselves, gain greater self-awareness, learn to understand and handle triggers, change unhelpful patterns, and overcome life challenges.

I believe that the client-therapist relationship is foundational to the success of your treatment and I take your overall satisfaction seriously. I work with adults and children as a solution-focused therapist. I also work with chronic pain, reproductive health, and women's health, and infertility. I also focus heavily on the parent-child relationship and family systems work. I have training in many parenting and discipline practices that have effectively helped manage challenging behaviors as well as address parenting snafus. I am also interested in and helping people explore human sexuality and relationships.

My experience as an adoptive, foster and biological mom opened my eyes to mental health and I/DD needs as well as the effects of trauma. For 12 years I worked in county mental health serving initially as a skills trainer in homes, schools and the community. For 5 years I was a wraparound care coordinator, which inspired me to pursue my master’s degree in social work. Since 2017 I have provided therapy in both clinic and school settings. I mostly see clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties and relational stresses. We address the effects on your total person: biological, psychological, social and spiritual.

Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. I am here to let you know that you do not have to go through this process alone. I am here to provide support whether you are experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety, loss, life transitions or even if you are just looking into working on personal goals. I am here for you! I work with an open mind and an open heart. My role as a therapist is to work collaboratively with clients to help them overcome obstacles and recognize their strengths. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for ALL clients to feel heard and accepted. ALL of your identities are welcomed here.

Maybe, you're looking for help with a personal life issue, relationship issues, or you want to work through the pain of past hurts or the grief of a significant loss? Counseling provides the opportunity for healthy change, personal growth and healing. I work from an integrated cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approach. My focus is on helping clients gain insight and change thoughts and actions, so they may better understand their problems and find healing from life's hurts, restore health to relationships, and develop helpful solutions to life's challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families, adults and children.

I believe that everyone has the basic human rights for self-development which include the right to autonomy, self-care, and healthy relationships. I uphold this belief by listening actively to the goals of my client and assisting them to achieve their greatest potential for mental wellness through a therapeutic approach in which I blend adaptive belief strengthening, challenging negative core beliefs, psychoeducation, skills training, utilization of natural supports, and supportive reflection and validation.
