Teletherapy for Bend, OR

Calling all "imperfect perfectionists" in need of some relief! As a recovering perfectionist myself, I know first-hand how much distress we can create in our own lives. We hold ourselves to high (sometimes impossible) standards and often feel we are falling short. Anxiety and depression can follow - along with feelings of shame and guilt that we aren't as "good" or happy as we should be. It doesn't have to be so hard! We can work together to help you find joy and contentment by creating a loving, compassionate relationship with yourself.

What does it mean to be erotically marginalized and how can we as mental health professionals serve such individuals holistically, effectively, and compassionately? This is the question that drives my work as a therapist. Do you experience struggles with intimacy that are tied to your identity as queer, kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, and/or an individual living with chronic illness and/or or disability? Have struggles with food and body image made you feel like a stranger in your own skin? Have past hurts robbed you of the connections you crave for long enough? There is no need to feel alone in these struggles anymore.

You deserve to be having the best days! You know that something has to shift, but not exactly sure what that is or how things will change. Your emotions might be inhibiting you from feeling empowered, confident and clear in your decision making. I would be honored to support you in gaining perspective through a style that is direct, down to earth and focuses on a collaborative approach. ​I believe that life is a series of transitions, some more challenging than others, and that there is no reason to proceed solo.

Emotional wounding, loss, trauma, and unhealthy relationships often create a sense of overwhelm, heaviness and prolonged anxiety that can feel never-ending. Over time, it's common to become increasingly detached, stagnant and feel like it's impossible to connect with others in an authentic and meaningful way. Psychotherapy provides the unique opportunity to 'get real' with 'what is', allowing you to grow and heal in ways that will benefit all of your relationships, including (most importantly) the relationship that you have with yourself.

The therapeutic relationship, rooted in mutual respect, compassion, and authentic support is key to the counseling process. I fully trust that each individual has the ability to grow as a human being and develop healthy and meaningful connections to themselves and the world around them. Many benefits come from participating in therapy. For example, as a therapist, I can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, stress management, body image issues, and navigating life transitions.

I have over 20 years of experience helping people find clarity, understanding and healing during difficult times.
