Therapists in Bend, OR

Hello! And welcome. I am glad you are choosing to prioritize your wellbeing. I provide affirming and culturally-responsive space for those experiencing identity-based oppression and marginalization using an integrated, and empirically supported, approach of mindfulness, systems, and interpersonal process therapy rooted in intersectional feminism and multicultural backgrounds. This highly collaborative approach centers on empowerment of unique needs, strengths, and specific healing goals. I hope to help clients reduce distress, focus on personal growth, improve relationships, and build self-curiosity and compassion.

We all have the power to heal and grow. I am passionate about helping to heal traumas, connect with our core strengths and resiliency, and help you manage ongoing stress. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach to help you create the changes you want to see in your life and in your relationships. Increasing the compassion, curiosity, and confidence you have in yourself will carry out to the relationships around you.

I believe our minds and bodies were intelligently made to heal. With an eclectic approach in therapy, I combine neuro-informed modalities that best fit each client. I specialize in emotional regulation in both adults and teens and primarily function from internal family systems, somatic experiencing, neuro-feedback, biofeedback, and CBT approaches. I offer a safe and empathetic space for my clients which fosters psycho-education, awareness, healing and growth.

Anxiety and Depression can be caused by many things. I work best with people who are experiencing these unwanted emotions as the result of Childhood Trauma or the unwanted side-effects of a Substance Abuse issue. Most Trauma survivors begin to use substances as a way to numb out past painful memories. As a somatic guided imagery practitioner, and certified drug and alcohol counselor, I help clients discover their own innate inner wisdom through self-hypnosis. Together, through meditation, guided imagery and self-discovery we will quickly chart a course of healing and recovery.

Openings for teens, parents, and adults who can do online therapy. I am a child and family therapist with 13+ years of experience. I am well trained in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD and more. I work with clients to find their authentic voice using Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, attachment based interventions, CBT, and EMDR. I am in network with PacificSource and PacificSource Community Solutions. I strive to be inclusive and welcoming of LGBTQIA+ clients.

My passion has always been working with wounded hearts, helping those in broken and what seem like hopeless situations find light and meaning for their lives. I believe that trauma plays a major role in how we perceive the world and can greatly influence our choices and relationships. I have a passion for working with couples and believe that every marriage can be strengthened and thrive. I take a grace-filled, non-judgmental, collaborative approach to therapy and believe that every person, no matter their situation, can find healing and hope in the midst of their circumstances and I consider it a honor to walk alongside of you.

I support women across the gender spectrum who want to cultivate self trust, peace, and a renewed sense of wholeness. You want to thrive and to be at home in your own life, but right now you feel stuck, exhausted, and like you're never enough. You can't seem to find relief from anxiousness in your mind/body, and perhaps connecting to your body feels challenging. You're tired of cycles of people-pleasing, self-criticism, and unsatisfying relationships. Perhaps you struggle to show up as your true self around others. You know something needs to change, and now you're seeking a path to healing.

I am an easy to talk to, solutions oriented therapist, who will partner with you in exploring the challenges of life and how to move forward in ways that will have a lasting impact on you and those you care about most. Together we will look beneath the surface to discover your strengths and make a plan to take on the challenges you are facing in life. I am especially equipped to help adolescents, marriages and families.

If you are looking for someone who can hold space with unconditional positive regard, holding your story with compassion and grace, I may be a good fit. I have extensive experience working with a wide array of mental disorders and specifically reprocessing unresolved trauma. I also work with various struggles such as depression, anxiety, racial trauma, spiritual trauma, PTSD, Hoarding disorders, and emotional regulation. I am versatile in the care I provide through evidence based practices and I serve ages 17 and up. If your intuition feels I could help, please don't hesitate to reach out.

The connection between our mind, body, others, and ourselves is profound. Often, our body signals when something is wrong before we are fully aware. My practice focuses on counseling for anxiety, anger, grief, loss, depression, and relationship challenges, emphasizing your attachment styles. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and couples in healing from trauma and breaking negative cycles. Central to my approach is the therapeutic relationship and respect for your cultural background. I prioritize understanding what matters most to you.

Are you ready for a big change? Sometimes we come to a point where we feel like we’ve hit a wall. Maybe you’ve been doing therapy for years, but you still feel like something needs to break through. Or maybe you feel like you know what you need to do in your head, but it's not clicking in your heart and body. If this feels like where you’re finding yourself, I can help. I work specifically with female-identified clients that identify with being highly-sensitive people. Being sensitive in this world can be tough. I want to help you find your power, connect to your intuition, and step into embracing yourself exactly as you are.

I am passionate about providing evidence-based, speciality mental health care to Central Oregon. Evidence-based treatments are those that have undergone rigorous scientific evaluation. They have been well-studied and require empirical data to support their use. My approach to therapy involves building a strong relationship with the client, and engaging them to take an active role in their own treatment. Treatment goals are decided collaboratively and worked on both in session and between sessions with clear goals in mind. I aim to get you back to the things you love in your life, with minimal interference from symptoms.

There's little doubt that seeking assistance to deal with a life problem or even to expand upon our strengths can be a daunting task. While taking this step does require courage, I believe that my task is to make this step an easier one for my clients. My focus is to build a strong relationship with clients while providing the necessary therapeutic support to make life changes easier and to increase their confidence that seeking help is exactly the right thing to do.

When working with clients I work from a holistic person centered approach to support the individual needs of clients and help them achieve meaningful growth and change in their lives. I work from somatic and expressive arts trauma informed and mindfulness based intervention methods; geared to support clients in processing and overcoming life traumas, such as sexual abuse; anxiety; depression; postpartum depression; infant mental health; pain management, emotional eating; grief/loss; emotional dysregulation; child/parent interactions. My role is to assist clients in their healing so that they may reclaim their lives.

I am not currently accepting new patients, however if your need is not imminent I would be happy to add you to my waitlist. We all face challenges throughout our lives that can leave us feeling stuck, distressed, isolated or confused. During these times, therapy can help us to move towards the relief, change, and fulfillment we may be longing for. As a therapist, I strive to meet you wherever you are when we begin our work together. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative one, offering safety, confidentiality, and support. Together we share an investment in your growth, healing and more lasting change.

For all of us, life is a combination of joy and grief. When we have the courage to face our grief, we get to live our joy to the fullest. I strive to offer a compassionate, accepting place to hold space for your process. This allows you opportunity to move through stuck pain and grief, with gentle guidance and support, so you are able to embrace the goodness life has to offer. I am open to meeting with adolescents and adults who are ready to do their emotional growth work, regardless of gender or profile. Children are also more than welcome in my practice.
