PacificSource Therapists in Eugene, OR

We all experience times in our life when additional support could be helpful. Unfortunately, during these times seeking support can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. I realize it can take a great deal of courage and trust to reach out. As a therapist, I have deep respect for the people that I work with and it’s important to me that I understand my clients experiences and work collaboratively with them to support their goals. My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed, and rooted within a multicultural/feminist framework that attends to context, reinforces resilience, and focuses on empowerment.

Do you find yourself having the same argument with your partner over and over again? Are you looking to get a bit of that 'spark' back from the beginning of your relationship? Or maybe you are finding yourself stuck and overwhelmed with new challenges in your life. If so, you're in the right place. I specialize in working with couples who are looking to improve their communication and connection, as well as individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, or are processing trauma. Together we'll create a safe and welcoming space for you to grow and make meaningful changes in your life.

My practice is committed to helping you explore what feels unbalanced in your life, find or re-connect with what feels "right", and make meaningful changes that will improve mood, relationships, and overall well-being. Change, despite the weight of history, is entirely possible. My approach is closely aligned with current research on brain functioning, well-being practices, & the use of creativity in therapy.

I love working with people who are ready to learn, grow and change. I have the most experience working with young children 0-11 and their parents. I enjoy working with adults with their individual needs as well. Children and adults who have experienced trauma and attachment wounds and are ready to learn how to heal and become empowered are my favorite people to work with. I am also interested in working with individuals who are exploring gender identity.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it." - Brene Brown. If you are looking to begin the courageous process of counseling, you are ready to stop running. My purpose is to help you identify what keeps you stuck and assist in discovering the strengths you already possess, as well as create new coping behaviors to overcome challenges. I will be a compassionate and collaborative partner in your healing, yet I will be direct with you. Let's find out who you are meant to be in this world!

I've been a licensed therapist for 35 years and received my Masters of Social Work from California State University, Sacramento but consider myself a true Oregonian, living in the Willamette Valley since 1995.

I have a person-centered approach to therapy. My main goal is to provide a safe supportive environment, so you can begin taking steps towards healing and change. I work with clients in a non judgmental manner. I believe therapy should always be collaborative. Engaging with one another in the therapeutic relationship is essential and I believe therapy should never feel forced. It is very important for me to meet you where you are in your readiness to heal, change, and grow. I warmly welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds including the LGBTQ community, International Students or Residents, and Veterans.

I enjoy working with individuals and partners of diverse backgrounds and relational configurations. I am accepting new clients.

Do you feel anxious or depressed, and wonder what it would feel like to be at peace with yourself? Are you experiencing distress in your relationships and wonder how to approach others with respect and care while having your needs met? I work with people who experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relationship distress. I also specialize in working with clients who are experiencing grief, migraine and PTSD.

Are you struggling with negative emotions? Do you experience disrupted sleep or appetite? Are your relationships frustrating, confusing or draining at times? Do you have difficulty communicating how you feel or getting your needs met? At Champion Family Therapy, we can help you understand why you are experiencing these symptoms and what to do about them. Sometimes these challenges are connected to past events, relationships, or family patterns that are unidentified. Our therapists are skilled in the exploration of individual and relational dynamics and identifying the solutions that will bring healing.

Do you have a hard time saying "no"? Are platonic or intimate relationships difficult? Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you have a lot of guilt? Do you at times feel resentful or think that you are being taken advantage of? These are a few of the many topics I cover in session. In therapy I attend to areas such as: depression/anxiety, relationship problems, LGBTQIA needs, chronic health issues, neurodiversity, the impact of systemic oppression, eating disorders and relationship with food and body, tobacco and addiction treatment, trauma, connection with emotions and body, spirituality, and more.

My primary focus as a counselor is working with individuals in transitionary phases of their lives to regulate anxiety, depression and trauma responses that can occur with change and other life stressors. As a mental health counselor, I strive to facilitate awareness of the mind-body connection. The impact of everyday stressors and past experiences on physical and emotional health is often overlooked. Identifying thought patterns and behaviors that impact your interactions in the world and overall feelings about self can help you to work toward living your authentic life in contentment and joy.

Do you avoid or sabotage your potential to create a fulfilling life? Is the contemplation of change overwhelming? Witnessing positive change continues to be the most rewarding part of my thirty years in clinical practice. I prioritize the development of an emotionally safe, strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. Our work will focus on recognizing and changing the patterns and beliefs that limit your ability to achieve an enriched and fulfilling life. I will assist you in developing the skills to better manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, modify unhelpful thinking, and enhance personal wellness.

We can all benefit from support in managing our mental health in the context of life's challenges. I work collaboratively to identify the changes you want to make, and I view my role as a supportive guide in your process. I enjoy working with clients who are looking for support to navigate stress, identify and process emotions, manage anxiety, improve mood regulation, focus and attention (including ADHD and neurodivergence), relationships and communication, and who overall want to be more connected to the present moment and a life that is meaningful to you.

My ideal client is a resilient individual exploring the depths of culture and identity. They're eager to find their unique space amidst intersections of race, gender, and more. Facing challenges yet driven by self-awareness, they seek to embrace their cultural roots and build fulfilling relationships. In our collaboration, they find in me a dedicated ally, attuned to their journey and growth.

I use integrative approaches to address a variety of counseling needs. My therapy style is interpersonal, relational and emotion-focused. I work towards helping my clients identify what their goals and motivations are, and collaboratively develop specific strategies and interventions that can help them achieve their goals. I have extensive experience working with relational concerns, trauma, self-esteem concerns, identity development and mood disorders.
