Attachment-based Therapists in Grants Pass, OR

Hey Gen Z! I want to help you find your voice and empower you to be the best you can be. I draw heavily from Rogerian (person-centered) therapy, with the belief that clients deserve unconditional positive regard and empathy no matter what they bring into therapy. I also draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use art and play therapy as well. I find passion in working with clients who have experienced trauma and want to find the tools to find their own voice and break out of negative cycles that have impacted their families. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone is a work in progress, and I would love to get to know you!

I believe trust and belonging are the basic needs of individuals. How one learns to love and be loved tells a lot about who we are as people and how our relationships develop. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families, thereby hoping to provide change to the system, and not just the individual.

I have a safe compassionate healing environment with you in mind. With over 20 years experience, I provide a sacred place to confidentially explore whatever you may need to. I will help you overcome the bonds that hold you back from your goals and from fully enjoying life. I believe in an inherently miraculous and powerful inner self. With cutting edge counseling services that keep you in charge, we will move forward together to overcome whatever challenges you struggle with. From mindfulness to hypnosis, practical (cognitive behavioral) and compassionate exploration, for brief or longer terms, together we will overcome.

Life as a youth or young adult is challenging enough as it is, sometimes going through the motions of certain life stages or being faced with difficult circumstances can feel like a lot. I specialize in working with individuals ages 10-24 to help navigate various experiences in life that come your way and to help bring a deeper level of understanding to thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether dealing with anxiety, trauma, or the everyday stresses of adolescence and young adulthood, my goal is to provide the support and tools needed to foster overall well-being.

I believe people have the ability to heal from harmful experiences. I seek to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, building trust through compassion and nonjudgmental understanding. I use an integrative approach which includes evidence based theories and therapies. I implement EMDR, cognitive behavior therapy, person-centered therapy, positive psychology, solution-based therapy, and family systems therapy. I take a holistic therapeutic approach in working with the client’s well-being through addressing mental, physical, and spiritual health. Most importantly, I feel blessed to be part of this profession!

Being told your voice is not valued because you’re young is the worst. Your voice matters. Often as a young adult/teen/child, we’re told, “just do it,” and “that’s just the way it is.” Or maybe you’re the parent wanting to connect with your child and asking yourself, “what happened?” I am here to support Gen Z and/or their families with each family member finding their voice, being seen for their individuality, and fostering reconnection with one another and your family’s roots/values. Every voice in the family matters and is valuable and strong and I would be honored to support your quest in nurturing this personal/family growth.

“I feel that I am merely an agent, giving you some keys that have been given to me to pass on to you. These keys are to unlock doors out of your present prison. Doors opening onto new vistas. Doors beyond where you are now.” ― John C. Lilly Facing difficulties in life, experiencing emotional pain and suffering, or want to grow and learn to be more self compassionate? It can make a world of difference to work with a Psychologist who can be your guide, collaborator, coach and cheer leader. In therapy, you can overcome fears and self limiting beliefs, gain insight, skills, and strategies to lead a life of meaning and fulfillment.

I love working with teens, young adults, and their families, as they work through concerns such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have been a mental health therapist for teens with trauma in residential care over the past few years. This has equipped me to become well versed in various and complicated diagnoses that impact entire family systems. This has also led me to use therapeutic modalities (interventions) that break down the barriers talk-therapy often has for youth, including engagement, trust, and buy-in to the therapeutic process.

Are you looking to thrive in your relationships and daily life and goals? I believe that the quality of our relationships with those closest to us is critical for fostering a working support system, a place for healing, regular satisfaction, and maintaining our overall wellbeing and goals. I enjoy working with people to help bring relief and empowerment surrounding relational/family issues, sexual abuse, anxiety, emotional stress, and depression. I work with adults individually and their family members in gaining control of situations that dramatically interfere with their daily life. I welcome you in exploring your needs in a consultation and potentially a therapeutic relationship.

I believe that everyone has the potential within themselves for change, growth, and empowerment. With particular interests in stress management, habit improvement, mindfulness, and symptom reduction, our work together will help you confront and address aspects of life that may be barriers to you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? As a stress and anxiety expert, I teach my clients coping and communication skills to increase mental and physical well being, improve relationship satisfaction and create better work/life balance. My mission is my passion: to support clients in their journey to wholeness and authenticity so that they can experience more confidence and joy across every area of life. My style is empathic, empowering and direct, with a good dose of humor :). I am also a Certified Professional Coach, which means I will give you a nudge and hold you accountable when you need it!

I have a passion for giving the youth we serve a voice and hearing their struggles during this very difficult time in our history. From a very early age, I knew that I wanted to help people find joy and hope during their time on the planet. I strive to see the potential and strengths in every person I have the privilege of serving. I have found my niche serving children as young as 8, adolescents, and young adults up to age 24.

It is common to reach a point in life when you might feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to move forward. Perhaps you are having problems with relationships or are searching for better ways to cope with every day stressors. Life can present us with a myriad of challenges often causing us to feel dissatisfied and inadequate. I am committed to helping individuals gain a better sense of self by offering a client-centered, integrated approach to treat a variety of mental health needs.

Healing is available to you. Deep down, we all have the power to heal. Starting therapy takes courage, and it's not always easy to stick with it. But the changes it can bring to your life are huge. In our work together I strive to invite you to discover things about yourself you never knew, find parts of yourself you thought were lost, and learn how to bounce back stronger when life gets tough. I'm here to walk with you through this journey, gently helping you tap into your own inner wisdom where healing, growth, and a new you are waiting.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.

In my 58+ years of life experience and 28+ years of work as a therapist, I have learned that life is hard and at times painful. That we at times endure great suffering, we get stuck, and unable to move forward on our life’s journey or unable to feel the connection to our Source, to life, to our relationships with others, or to find joy. This is common and universal in our life experience. There are things that we do, conditioned physical responses, unhealthy thought patterns and ruminating on story lines which can amplify our suffering, contribute to our being stuck and interfere with our ability to experience the joy of living.
