Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Molalla, OR

I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal and create change in their lives; therapy is simply a space in which the individual can focus on the journey of change. My approach is client centered and strengths based. I believe that individuals naturally have a foundation of strengths and skills that can be built upon in a therapeutic setting. I am rooted in a holistic approach to therapy, which means I believe that there are often external and internal layers to life that may be addressed during treatment. My goal as the counselor is to create a safe and warm environment where the client is free to express themselves.

Hi! I am a mother (of two daughters), wife (to an amazing husband), friend, and believer that one person can make a difference. We are all unique. Each and every person has their own life experiences, expectations about life, and goals for life that influence their life lens and decision making. When expectations and/or experiences no longer benefit or help achieve goals problems can arise. When this happens, we may feel anxious, depressed, or lack self esteem. These can trigger difficulties with romantic, familial, and/or friendly relationships.

I believe that each person is unique and that we all go through times in our lives when seeking counseling is beneficial. My goal is to guide individuals through times of difficulty with compassion and humility. A client-counselor relationship is built on mutual trust, and I work hard to earn and maintain that trust, as well as demonstrate unconditional positive regard for my clients. I help clients with perinatal, anxiety, stress management, depression, self-esteem, body image, chronic medical conditions, grief and loss, military/first responders, trauma and PTSD, and life changes.

When facing anxiety and stress, you can often feel like it's a solitary journey, but it doesn't have to be. In my practice, I create a nurturing environment where your concerns are acknowledged and validated. We'll explore the roots of your anxiety and stress, all within a supportive and empathetic space. Our goal is to establish tools to help you manage anxiety and stress, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with grit and a keen sense of self.

I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

My ideal client is the person who is stuck in uncertainty, and struggling to find clarity in their identity or there role in life. My expertise as an experienced counselor & coach is in partnering for creating the perfect outcome or vision/goals. Often the roadblocks are related to fear, low self-confidence, lack of effective communication development, or adequate emotional expression. Included are anger management and relational issues. I focus on the whole individual for healthy healing and maturity. As self-growth expands a high level of achievement and success is the by-product both personally as well as professionally.

When life presents challenges to your mental health or relationships there is an opportunity for resourcefulness, resilience and hope. Working with me is one way to find your path forward through difficult times. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps forward toward change
