"YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON'S EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES." That's especially true regarding the thoughts and feelings that often surround deeply personal issues. My practice is informed by my own life experiences as well as a nuanced understanding of the complexity of hu man nature. Together we will build the degree of trust and rapport necessary for you to: identify maladaptive patterns, challenge negative beliefs, gain insight into past and present events and most importantly, use this information to create per manent positive change in your relationships and the way you think and feel about yourself.

We can discuss what these terms mean for you as a hu man with goals.
Hi! I'm Jesse and I'm going to attempt to help you clarify whether I'm worth contacting in the next few statements. We might be a fit if: You are slightly skeptical of the therapeutic process (you're not alone). You're sensing this is a potential big moment in your life (even if you don't know why). You're someone who does well with a balanced blend of nurturing and challenge. You think growth is possible and awesome and, yes, uncomfortable, but well worth it. Whether you're good at asking for help or not, you know you need it at this moment to get where you're headed. Your dreams are a little scary to say out loud (a good sign!).

I am currently working on my Master’s of Clinical Mental Health Counseling online through Colorado Christian University while completing my practicum at WaterCup Counseling, Inc in Redmond, Oregon. I bring a diverse perspective from many years of living overseas and working in a variety of industries. This gives me a strong desire to truly know my clients, coming to understand what makes them unique and how we can work together towards a better future. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, and strategy board games!

I would like to believe that the people I work with know they are in good hands and working with a real hu man being, rather than someone who is just "going through the motions.
My clients meet with me from the comfort of their own home or wherever they may be. I work remotely, but have some in-person appointments as well. I bill in 15 minute increments for self-pay clients to allow flexibility for my client's needs. I do not require an appointment and will take calls if I'm available to allow for short talks as needed, or call you back as soon as I am available. My goal is to make something that may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for some people as comfortable and convenient as possible. There is no waiting 3-4 weeks for an appointment and or wasting time in the first session filling out paperwork.

I'm professionally trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Therapeutic Crisis Intervention, and specializes in treating clients with attachment issues, suicidal ideation, behavioral issues, adolescents, anger management, parenting, relational conflicts, etc.
I take a reality therapy/person-centered approach towards helping clients meet their emotional and mental health needs. My goal as a therapist is to provide a therapeutic environment where clients can safely explore barriers that impede their physical and emotional well-being.

I am credentialed as a professional counselor associate. My primary goal is to encourage those I work with to identify their own strengths, resiliency, and ability to tackle life’s challenges head-on. My clinical approach is informed by Mindfulness-based therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Jungian Psychoanalysis, Eastern principles and philosophy, and Narrative Theory. I received certification in 2020 for teaching yoga and meditation. Currently I am only working with individual clients (ages 18+).

After more than 35 years of clinical practice, I am now working with individuals and couples exploring emotional issues as a pathway to understanding and living fuller lives. We often view our difficulties as something being wrong with us, as opposed to an invitation to discovery.

Life is difficult and complicated and we all need help at times when we get stuck. Getting unstuck is often short term work. Avoiding getting stuck over and over again is longer term work. Symptom versus problem resolution.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by feelings, thoughts, or a sense of being lost in life? You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma manifesting as relationship distress, identity crises, or lack of motivation. My clients seek a guide to uncover the root of their symptoms and find their authentic selves. I help clients go beyond traditional talk therapy, focusing on the mind-body connection through somatic therapies, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, while teaching the neuroscience of trauma. Specializing in attachment, I aim to help you reorganize your relationships—to others, yourself, and your past.

My goal as a counselor is to help people find strength and courage to explore their challenging or adverse thoughts and feelings in depth, and to learn how to experience those thoughts and feelings in a healthy and effective way. I see the counselor and client walk alongside each other to explore these experiences, with the outcome as finding a way for the client to live authentically for themselves, and in relation to others. This is based on a belief that each individual is their own phenomenon carrying a unique and powerful interpretation of the world, one which can be utilized in healing, growth, and change.

Every person faces challenging circumstances throughout life, but no one has to endure the pain of difficult experiences alone. We know from experience that therapy can be transformative and offers the potential for enormous growth and positive change. The therapeutic relationship is central to the change process and as part of this, I strive to foster a collaborative approach with my clients by creating a safe, accepting environment. I approach counseling in a strengths-based framework and recognize that we all have skills and abilities that have developed to cope and carry us through our toughest times.
