Therapists in Lane County, OR

I have been involved in research, assessment and treatment of AD/HD for the past 25 years. Individuals with AD/HD usually experience difficulty with focus and concentration. However, they also experience difficulties with procrastination, time management, planning, organizing, and completing projects at home, work and/or in school. There may also be difficulties with delaying gratification, impulse control, memory, and feelings of restlessness. These symptoms impact work, school, friendships, family, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. An accurate assessment of AD/HD is an important step toward getting help.

During difficult times my office is a place of comfort, compassion, insight and help. You are not alone. Together we will unlock your ability to flourish. Are you trudging through life? Are your choices bringing you satisfaction? Do you suffer from chronic pain? Do you feel emotionally wounded, sad, lonely? Are you grieving? Don’t give up. It’s going to be Ok. You can have hope, know that you matter, learn how to lovingly connect with others and receive love in return.

I believe in the value and worth of each human being and that each one of us has the ability to heal and master new skills throughout the life span. I strive to form trusting relationships with clients to assist them with improving their quality of relationships, increase their personal sense of well being or self esteem, achieve a better balance in their life, resolve traumatic history, and learn effective coping skills. Through a collaborative relationship, I assist clients with exploring their personal and spiritual development.

My hope is that I can help you to tap into existing strengths and learn new ways to be present in your day-to-day activities. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, are currently experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, and work/school related burnout to improve self care, coping strategies and stress management techniques. I enjoy working with clients to develop their mindfulness skills to be more present in order to improve their overall health, wellbeing and quality of life. I utilize EMDR to help people work through past events that have created unhelpful beliefs about themselves and what they are able to achieve.

Not Accepting New Clients- I provide individual and family therapy to adults, adolescents, and children, including children ages five and under. I can assist with anxiety, depression, adjustment to change, oppositional behavior, family conflict, attachment, inattention, trauma, and other concerns.

Please contact me to join waitlist. I am a Couples & Family Therapist at Alive Holistic Counseling, supporting individual and relational clients working through trauma, anxiety, depression, communication and relationship challenges, codependency, grief, identity exploration, and changes. The therapy process is as unique as the individual and I collaboratively work in helping you achieve the change you want to see.

Changing Old Patterns to Allow New Choices *** Are you struggling to create positive lasting changes in your life? Wanting the changes is not enough. Willpower alone is not enough. To create lasting change, you need to let go of the limitations that hold you back. You need to release old patterns and learn new skills. Hypnosis and counseling -powerful tools to create the changes you desire. Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state of mind that allows you to tap into your deeper wisdom and unlimited possibilities. In this state of mind, you suspend old beliefs and limitations, and allow the changes you desire to begin.

I tend to work with a few different types of clients given my specializations. First, I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression. This can be adolescents, teens, or adults, and tend to be successful at ameliorating symptoms. Second, I work with families who find themselves struggling. There are various reasons for the struggle, but that is what we unpack and figure out how to best move forward to improve the well-being of all. Lastly, I help people better manage stress, this could be anyone, as we all experience times in life when our well-being suffers as we struggle to navigate a life transition.

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.

Participating in psychotherapy can be life changing. It gives one an ally in exploring and resolving current or lifelong concerns. I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, working with people experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, academic stress, work difficulties, ADHD, recent or past trauma (PTSD), and ethnic/cultural concerns. All are welcome here.️

I am a person-centered therapist committed to creating a safe space where I can empower clients to find fulfillment in themselves and their lives. I believe that we are beautifully unique, while recognizing that our life experiences can leave us with internalized beliefs, messages, or patterns we hope to address in order to live a more content life. I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness while holding space for healing and reclamation of strength.

However you are feeling at this moment, you have deep, natural sources of resilience inside you. My job as a therapist is to help you tap into the resources of your mind, body, and spirit, so that you can take charge of your own healing and growth. Often, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors causing us the most difficulty right now have their roots in old coping strategies that once helped us to survive and care for ourselves. If you are struggling or stuck now, it may be because you are ready to let go of these old patterns and find new ways of being.

Clients have said that I offer something very different and powerful. I have seen those committed to their healing stop having flashbacks/panic attacks, get better sleep, improve relationships, heal from addictions, make more money while working less, improve physical health, and become happy! I offer a warm, funny, conversational-style therapy, specializing in healing trauma of all kinds. Trauma shows up most commonly as Anxiety, Depression, Addiction (FREEZE threat response), ADHD/ADD (FLIGHT), Anger issues (FIGHT), People-pleasing/Codependency (FAWN), and relationship issues.

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.

What I hear most often from clients are, "I've been to other therapists, and you are different. This feels like I'm changing!" When you are with me, you will know that 100% of my attuned attention is with you. I pay attention to what you say, how you say it, what your body movement tells me, and what your history tells me. If you are seeking support for yourself for inner healing from trauma (all sorts), Attachment wounding, Post Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, postpartum depression or anxiety, chronic illness, anxiety, panic, grief, life transitions, or you are in a relationship that needs support, contact me.
