My practice is closed to new clients at this time. It's a difficult time right now, and I encourage you to practice the best possible self-care, including socially distancing, masking and being kind to yourself and others. As most therapists are practicing only on-line, you aren't limited to local options. Consider searching throughout Oregon for a good fit. --Jana

I honor the courage it takes to reach out and ask for support! We all have, within ourselves, the wisdom to heal from adversity and trauma in a way that allows us to live with purpose and passion.

I will work with you to reconnect to your self, loved ones, community, and nature to facilitate healing and restoration. It is in this place that we can either find the answers we are seeking or find peace in not knowing.

"NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS". "NOW ACCEPTING OREGON HEALTH PLAN (OHP)". Often times, navigating relationships can be similar to walking through a minefield. The only problem is that most of us tend to step on a few mines. The deep hurt and emotional trauma that each exploding mine causes in our lives is carried into all subsequent relationships we dare to enter. In dealing with the pain of past relationships, many struggle to cope and find solutions to push back against their very real pain; many of these solution cause deep wounds of their own.

*I am not accepting new clients at this time.* I believe healing starts with being kind to ourselves. Life has a tendency to throw curve balls that trigger old hurts and make us feel small and inadequate. It’s these very moments of vulnerability that provide opportunities to learn and step into a bigger version of ourselves - if we are ready. It is my honor to walk alongside you on your journey to connecting to yourself and the world around you, and figuring out next steps. I believe in a holistic approach that involves mind, body, heart and soul, each of which provide unique information about the work that is needed at this time.

I am passionate about helping people see the way over troubled waters to a healthier life they desire.

I provide a compassionate support structure so that my clients can develop a vision of this future and to work intentionally to achieve it. I work with my clients to uncover their power and use it to create the life they want.

In Brene Brown words, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do." This statement reflects my work's philosophy. The client/therapist relationship has the potential to bring about real change through revealing relational patterns that have developed through life's experiences. I heavily rely on the therapeutic relationship that we will develop together to highlight these patterns in order to bring you more happiness, a sense of calmness and to help open yourself to the possibilities in your life. I honor your strength in taking this important step in realizing your full potential.

Everyday we make choices from the very mundane like what we have for breakfast or which shirt to wear, to the life changing like taking a new job, getting married, or moving somewhere you've never been. However easily these questions (and others) may be answered by some, there are many who have difficulty because the answers are not always so clear. Counseling can help in these moments of uncertainty. Whether it is a few hours of voicing your concerns or sever months of assistance, a counselor can help you tackle life challenges more easily.

I believe our capacity to connect, both with ourselves and with those we love is vital to our happiness. When we are in a state of disconnection, we can feel anxious, isolated, empty, and depressed.

We all have suffered in silence, waiting for things to get better, because seeking help may seem too scary....I want to help.
