Therapists in West Linn, OR

Suffering happens in isolation. The power of human connection and telling your story can be healing. I believe we're all incredibly resilient at our cores, though this can be overshadowed and challenged by expected and unexpected change, difficult events & trauma, and the subsequent wading & struggling through transition that inevitably follows. I can help you work through the hard parts. Expand awareness and understanding around destructive patterns and apply practices that improve your quality of life. You can manage really overwhelming feelings, reduce pain, deepen & enjoy relationships and even rediscover peace of mind.

Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, and suffering. I believe that individuals and families can tap into their inner strength to repair and grow new resilience with guidance and support. My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide support to help you create space to learn and integrate new skills and encourage new perspectives as you grow and thrive in connections.

I enjoy and welcome clients who are ready to remember the joy of their lives. Perhaps you want to heal a relationship, or let go of some difficult past event or unuseful behavior. Perhaps you are preparing for a medical procedure and want to heal quickly. Together, we nurture healing at many levels: the conscious & subconscious, brain & mind, thoughts & emotions, body & spirit, self & relationship. We also use somatic approaches and Alpha-Stim. Contact me when you are ready to explore your mind, heart and spirit to grow into your best and highest self! Clinical Social Work Supervisor - accepting new individual and group supervisees.
