Bisexual Therapists in Albany, OR

Hello. Many people seek a therapist when they’re feeling stuck, are in the middle of a change, want to challenge their growth edge, or feeling alone or disconnected. Internal and external dynamics contribute to a sense of discomfort and innumerable signs and symptoms, which are meant to catch our attention. My approach to therapy is to support and guide you to listen deeply to the meaning of those experiences, increase your sense of connection to yourself and others, and build practices that strengthen your willingness and ability to access ease, connection, and compassion.

Email is the best form of communication if you're interested in setting up a consultation. Please include the best times to schedule, and name of insurance. I have a couple spots opening up beginning of May. I believe therapy is a useful tool that helps people make sense of their inner world. My clinical work is focused on improving life skills, promoting personal growth, and working towards more fulfilling relationships. As a therapist, I want to support clients in achieving their goals when they enter therapy, or help them discover and set goals they want to achieve.

I enjoy working collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults around any issues they feel called to work on. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as they navigate their own journey, utilizing skills and knowledge from our collective experiences and education. I take an eclectic and person centered approach to counseling, preferring to tailor my approach to the preferences and needs of each client. Some modalities I utilize regularly include: CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, strengths based therapy and integrating techniques from art and music therapy.

Integrity - the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished; a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition; adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.

I believe in the ability to regain mental health, wellness, wholeness and live a life worth living. I believe in you. I can assist you on your path to finding integrity

I am a dedicated Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges.

Do you long for better relationships in your life? Would you like to understand more about yourself and how you relate to those around you? Do you feel like you're alone or like you are the only one who feels the way you feel? Do you notice similar things happening in your relationships over and over again? Group therapy feels scary at first for most of us, but it can be the perfect place to work on issues like these. Whether introverted or extraverted, we are all inherently social creatures. Healing in community with others is natural to our species but is an art that many of us have lost.

Conifer Wellness offers a wide variety of services. We provide therapy for individuals, couples, adolescents, and children. We understand how mental and physical health play on each other, so therapy can include discussing your medical conditions, providing education, and working to manage chronic conditions, if you like. You can request counseling that is brief and targeted, or it can be long term. Just let us know. We treat anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, relationship issues, phobias, anger management, and more. Other services we provide include a variety of diagnostic assessments/evaluations and skill-based group therapies.

Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Perhaps you are going through a rough patch and could use support and guidance, or perhaps you’ve struggled for many years and would like to see things differently, live things differently and are ready to “do therapy.” You are not broken. We each of us are inherently whole and in response to internalized messages and expected roles, or difficult situations and difficult histories, ill health, extreme stressors or trauma, our lives can feel broken. My passion is to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love and the world around you.

I believe in developing a supportive and collaborative environment where my clients feel empowered, this allows them to move beyond their limitations and discover greater life satisfaction.

I offer treatment exclusively for women. Are you frustrated with anxiety? I support women struggling with stress, anxiety, and relationships to lead a more empowering, spiritual, and fulfilling life. Together, we work to gain insight, find stability, develop a positive self-image, and heal from pain. Through a neutral, self-compassionate lens, we can safely explore your vulnerability through which you will gain strength to fully live how you choose. By utilizing mindfulness, we will elevate your awareness, tackle intrusive thoughts, and help you heal in the way you feel most empowered.

Through a safe and trusting client- therapist relationship individuals will gain strategies and knowledge to managing symptoms, improving thoughts, behaviors, relationships, communication, self-esteem in order to become their best selves.

Let's face it: life can be hard. Maybe you're facing stress and overwhelming anxiety, or unwanted thoughts that keep intruding into your life. Perhaps you're stuck in that grey, hopeless fog of depression. Maybe you've been highly self-critical and you want to learn to be nicer to yourself. Or maybe you're just trying to build some life skills so you feel more comfortable navigating your life and relationships. Whatever the case, you could use someone on your team.

I work with adolescents and adults. I focus on helping people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic approach which means helping clients gain insight into the dynamics of maladaptive patterns that have evolved in their lives. Gaining insight is often the first step, or the foundation, of positive change. I also do EMDR and parts work to facilitate recovery from trauma.

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 several months of assistance, a counselor can help you tackle life challenges more easily.

I believe that lasting change is rooted in self-acceptance and becoming more connected with one's emotions and experience. With 25 years providing psychotherapy, my goal is supporting you in becoming more familiar with and at ease with yourself. I listen carefully to what you have to say and help you understand the dynamic patterns of your life and relationships. Together we will identify and resolve underlying conflicts which impair the quality of your life. We can create meaning from your life experiences, setting the stage for a happier, more peaceful future.
