Elders (65+) Therapists in Eugene, OR

I am acutely aware of how many people are suffering deeply now – people who are strong, intelligent, and creative, and yet find themselves struggling within their lives and disbelieving in themselves. Many of our psychological and emotional problems have been worsened over time by systemic and political practices, policies and institutions which also affect us spiritually. Because these systems aren’t self-aware, they don’t change quickly, and since they are part of the cause of our problems, they can’t help us heal. I listen to understand how to heal.

"During difficult times I teach people how to better manage their lives and how to avoid feeling victimized by outside circumstances. I establish rapport easily with people and accept people exactly where they are. I create a safe, trusting environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills which may include: improving self-esteem, setting boundaries, making healthy decisions, managing stress and anxiety. As a person begins to have a healthier relationship with themselves, it allows them to take ownership of their life and manage it more productively. "

At it's core, therapy is about transformation. Usually, the aim of changing our life requires confronting changing something about our self. Through the therapeutic relationship, I can help you to explore with curiosity how the problems of your present may have been useful solutions in the past. Through this process we can transform old, restrictive patterns and create space for new ways of being and experiencing.

That feeling you get when you can’t remember the last time you felt an intimate connection with your partner; it’s deep and it’s painful. Lying in bed, crying yourself to sleep as quietly as you can just hoping your partner reaches their hand out to hold you. You’re stuck swimming in your head about how this happened, and constantly trying to figure out if it’s you or if it’s them. Either way, it’s terrifying to think you may never feel that kind of connection again, no matter how or why. All you know for sure is you so desperately want it to change.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck despite your best intentions?

My focus is helping people transform long-standing roots of emotional distress, especially those resulting from difficult or traumatizing backgrounds, including diffuse and difficult to name traumas such as enmeshment and emotional neglect. I work together with clients to pinpoint the inner and outer sources of distress in their lives, develop a plan to transform this distress, and provide the tools of inner transformation, enabling them to relate to their lives with greater peace, clarity, stability and agency – aiming always for an open authenticity that is fully alive and empowered.

Finding grace and serenity and balance in life is no easy task - even with the foundation of a supportive, liberating childhood; miraculously healthy personal boundaries; and true friends, colleagues, mentors, and lovers. Self-sabotage, self-doubt, seemingly mistaken paths: we're all vulnerable. We find ourselves yearning for an elusive guidebook - to rewrite our lifestory or escape from sometimes paralyzing anguish. All the more so if an overlay of fresh or longstanding trauma (heartbreak, grief, abuse, crises of health, home, or employment) overwhelms and destabilizes us or undermines our ability to trust, to forgive our missteps, even to breathe deep.
