Attachment-based Therapists in Corvallis, OR

My approach to therapy is wholehearted and views clients contextually, recognizing people as interconnected with and influenced by everything from biology and belief to society and the natural environment. I use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens to understand my clients holistically. Rather than seeking to identify what is wrong, I seek to understand what needs may not be met and collaborate with clients on meeting those needs. This approach sparks inspiration, creativity, and openness and invites into the therapy process a client’s deep and vast wisdom.

Are you struggling with a relationship? Feeling anxious, stuck or depressed about life challenges? Want to feel better? There are many different aspects of a person's life that play a role in who they are and how they function. Whatever the issue, I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative therapy environment where you can feel supported, experience hope, healing and growth.

I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness. Using mindfulness based practices I focus on supporting clients in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and identity issues. In session I emphasize bringing the client’s attention out of thoughts/stories and into their present moment bodily experience with the understanding that more immediate change can occur this way. I enjoy experiencing the client and counselor relationship as a microcosm of the client’s greater relational life, and an opportunity to do deep healing.

I am a dedicated Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I have focused on empowering clients to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve holistic well-being. By blending innovative techniques with empathy, I provide high-quality support to individuals, ensuring they receive the care they need.

Are you having difficulty processing anxiety? Do you ever feel like stranger in your own body? Perhaps you've tried traditional talk therapy and haven't found the relief that you need. This is the case for many of my clients. Through a trauma neuroscience approach to healing, we will go beyond traditional talk therapy to discover and heal the root sources of your symptoms. You will learn the tools for emotional regulation and resilience, which will help you reclaim control over your mind, body, and emotions once again.

Living in a society that is both sexually repressed and obsessed with sex is confusing at the best of times. Overwhelmingly we weren’t offered the correct information about our natural urges or bodies, and we are sometimes even shamed for asking. This can often result in low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, and isolation. I can help you navigate in improving your courage, mastery, and gaining healthier boundaries (that you are worthy of!) in order to be your most genuine self. We will work together at your pace in order to identify strengths and barriers and to gain confidence in making life choices and transitions.

Does a safe and equitable space to explore your authentic needs, gain clarity, and feel more empowered in your life and relationships feel important at this time? Are you seeking a helper who works collaboratively and respectfully with you to best understand the needs and parts of your authentic self, and who supports you towards making lasting and meaningful change?

The heaviness of walking through this life can get to be too much to bear sometimes. Working 40+ hours per week, raising kids, tending to relationships, cooking healthy foods, making sure you get enough exercise, etc., etc. It's a lot. It's easy for things to get off track. To feel exhausted down to your very bones. And when it is time to rest, it's hard to shut off the spinning thoughts about the future, money, climate change, health issues, past wounds....you name it. No matter your particular unique journey, life can be filled with challenges.

I believe that each person has a unique story that has been their life and that healing begins by telling and understanding those stories. I believe part of my role as a therapist is to walk side by side in collaboration on this journey. I focus on your strengths and help you find and manifest who you are meant to be through your challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to be able to process experiences and events that may be interfering with life, and learn to problem solve and practice tools to cope when triggers arise in an unbiased place.

I am passionate about co-creating narratives of identity and experience that clients find empowering. I believe that looking at the ways sexism, racism, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, and other oppressions impact our lives helps us see things more clearly, and reduce the guilt and shame we carry. I cater mostly to clients who believe they are “too sensitive,” and working to make peace with their mind and emotions. I am elated to work with anyone who would like to build self esteem, healthier relational patterns, and a more authentic life. I'm also passionate about therapeutically integrating experiences from psychedelic medicines.

Some seasons of life are more difficult than others; through these difficult times I look to honor your story, while valuing who you are. My primary specialty is grief and loss counseling, where I offer safety, warmth and empathy to aid you in the healing process. I also love working with college students, and specialize in concerns surrounding identity development. I work with clients ages 24-50 and have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, childhood abuse, trauma, life transitions, lack of confidence, perfectionism or stress-management. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

I have immediate openings on telehealth. Do you struggle with anxiety that can be quite debilitating and that persists despite your daily efforts to manage it? Depression that drags you down and prevents you from enjoying your life fully? The impact of unresolved trauma making it difficult for you to respond to events in your life successfully? I specialize in working with young adults and am well versed in helping my clients address challenges unique to this stage of life.

July 2024: accepting new clients. We will work together to identify the root causes of your issues, discover where and how you want to grow, and implement the tools to do so. I am solution-focused, direct, and compassionate in my approach. I have over 12 years of experience working in various clinical settings from hospitals to private practice. I guide my clients to use therapy as a tool for self-growth and ultimately, to achieve a higher quality of life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to helping people like you learn how to take control of their lives and build healthy, satisfying relationships. My work focuses on relieving old pain, challenging dysfunctional patterns of thought and behavior, and helping you be your best. I believe that we all have the potential for growth, development, and—ultimately—joy. Together, we can help you identify and expand your range of choices, search for solutions, and empower you to exercise your agency more consciously and effectively.

Accepting New Clients. I believe each of us were designed for deep relationship and long for a sense of acceptance and belonging. So often however, we seem unable to experience authentic connection or intimacy with others. Though we reach out, we may feel unseen and unheard, eventually withdrawing, questioning our worth, and losing our ability to know and share our true self. The loneliness at times may feel overwhelming, as if there is no one to help us carry our confusion, hurts, or fears. It is in these times we may need someone with whom we can share our burdens, someone who will hear our brokenness and accept us as we are.

As a therapist, I believe that we are capable of many things. We have resources within ourselves to move through the difficulties that come with life. I view my approach to therapy as client-centered, strengths-based, intersectional feminist, neurodivergent-affirming, and fat liberationist. As a client-centered therapist, I will focus on your therapeutic goals and the best way to achieve them using your strengths. I view my work as walking beside you on your journey rather than leading the way.
