Therapists in Bend, OR

In a world of 7+ billion people so many of us are feeling the weight of disconnection. Lack of connection often leads to painful thoughts, feelings, memories and sensations. I believe feeling heard, understood, and valued is one of the greatest gifts I can give. It's a privilege to have been a collaborator with individuals who have chosen to move towards the pain in order to gain a deeper understanding.

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.

Hello! I aim to be a supportive and empathetic counselor who views therapy as the hero's journey; requiring insight, bravery, and self-compassion, even when it doesn’t feel like it – especially when it doesn’t feel like it! Connection is the key to healing - with others, our family systems, ourselves, and our bodies. This allows our fears to be expressed, our struggles to be witnessed, and our own power to be realized.

Do you feel worried, unhappy or uncomfortable in your relationships or just by yourself? Maybe you find yourself saying, "How did I get here? I can’t do this anymore. Something needs to change or else…" You wonder if you're always going to feel this way. Daily tasks and interactions with people are monotonous, joyless or exhausting. You play the comparison game and other people's lives seem to be so much better than yours. No one would understand if you told them what you're going through. Life feels like a struggle. Anxiety, depression, anger, confusion or discomfort seem like the norm, not the exception.

As a therapist, I believe in providing my clients with a safe relationship with which to explore difficult thoughts, memories and feelings. I will strive to help you feel seen and heard, while meeting you with compassion wherever you are in your emotions in the moment. My goal is to help you restore a sense of confidence and connect to your authentic self in order to help you build the life that you truly want and deserve.
