Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Medford, OR

My counseling foundation is embedded in Existential Therapy which offers space to gain a new perspective and adopt a growth mindset during or after a challenge. I adopt a holistic approach that focuses on the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual aspects in your life, which play an important role in your mental health. I enjoy facilitating intrapersonal exploration with each client to increase self-awareness, autonomy, and resiliency, by utilizing various evidence-based modalities such as, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

There are many reasons individuals seek counseling and regardless of those reasons I believe every individual can benefit from counseling. Change occurs through self acceptance, self actualization, and self motivation. My goal is to facilitate self exploration by discussing concerns regarding family, relationships, stress, self esteem, and mental health diagnosis. Though I have worked with a variety of individuals, my particular counseling focus is on thought processes and how those processes impact overall functionality.

Accepting additional insurances in September! The loss of a close friend had a major and lasting impact on my life. It was a necessary reminder that tomorrow is not promised. A blunt reminder that being present and in the moment is all that we truly have. Many of us wrestle with events of the past and fear about tomorrow and in the meanwhile, we forget that we have, in present time, the ability to grab hold of the moment we are in with everything we have and make it truly and wonderfully ours. We get a say in what that moment will be: happy, sad, angry, tormented, funny, quiet, loud. You get control: how wonderful is that?

I believe that through self-exploration and skill development we can find a greater sense of ease, joy, acceptance, and vitality in our lives. Despite past or current struggles, each of us has a place of wholeness within us that is accessible in every moment. Through a client-centered, strengths-based therapeutic approach, you will learn to access this place, even when experiencing distress, challenge, or difficult emotions. I enter the therapeutic process with the belief that we are intrinsically whole, and that through understanding ourselves more deeply, we can achieve well-being.

Sometimes stress gets stored in the body and no matter how much we try to talk ourselves out of it, we still feel stuck. This kind of stress (often tied up with anxiety) benefits from a biological approach, along with traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR and other non-invasive somatic/biological methods in conjunction with talk therapy (i.e. CBT, ACT) to help people build resilience and feel better. I believe that with some tailoring and practice, everyone can learn to rewire their brains and make great strides in creating healthier, happier lives.

I believe we all struggle in one way or another and it can range from everyday anxiety to long-term compounded trauma. This is where I come in; to help you gain the skills to navigate it with confidence.

Throughout life, we may develop maladaptive coping mechanisms, and therapy can help to better understand them, and, of course, learn more adaptive ways to handle stressful situations.

I entered the counseling field because I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and live healthy, meaningful lives. I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative style of therapy, drawing heavily from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and trauma-informed practices. I also welcome faith as a key element of the therapy process and I draw on principles of Christianity, whenever appropriate.

When you are moving in the right direction, the Universe cooperates. Most of us have set set goals or developed expectations for how we want to live our lives, but sometimes we get stuck along the way. We tend to think that we can sort out these complications on our own or by talking to a close friend. Therapy is an opportunity to tell your story to a professional asking the right questions, providing unbiased perspectives, or shining light on a dark place. I encourage clients to focus on the issues keeping them from experiencing contentment and satisfaction in life.

I believe every client can reach an ideal state of mental health. Clients can expect to experience mental, emotional, and spiritual health in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. In addition, clients can expect to find compassion, comfort, and forgiveness for personal and relational pain. A client who struggles with fears, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or other mental, emotional, and spiritual struggles can expect support, help, and resolutions. Through a collaborative and therapeutic relationship, clients will discover for themselves the power, freedom, and beauty of their true-selves. There is always hope.
