Therapists in Westport, OR

We can make change in our lives by understanding why we feel the way we do and by being in tune with who we are. Once we get to know ourselves better, we have the power to grow and overcome barriers. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or anger, or if you are encountering family challenges, relationship problems, or addictions, I can help you make the change you are looking for in a safe, open and nurturing environment.

Hello and welcome! I am a compassionate therapist specializing in religious and spiritual counseling rooted in Christianity. I provide support to clients facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and stress management. My approach is holistic, integrating emotional, cognitive-behavioral, and spiritual techniques to foster genuine therapeutic connections within a safe and nurturing space.

I help my clients address their anger, relationship conflict, identity issues, and breaking cycles of generational trauma. Together, we can figure out what to do with the resentment, frustration, or loneliness you might feel. I will bring into session my honesty and respect for you. I believe you deserve a place free of judgment or expectations. In that safety, my clients will often interact with the root of the conflict in their lives, their patterns, and their emotional experiences.

Human Nature has adapted, grown and embraced change throughout our history. As an adult, or couple in a relationship, you can explore tools to meet your specific needs. By identifying old triggers and tapes, you can let go of what you have outgrown. Your previous strengths can carry you from who you have been, to who you choose to be. With this old resilience, you can allow change and expand your experiences. You can step forward toward a new vision of you. Choose a "do-over". Learn to accept your changes with self-compassion and a renewed curiosity for self expression. Move from resistance to acceptance to simple joys.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, and life-transitions. If you are feeling hopelessness, despair, anger, or lack motivation, you are probably suffering from depression. Excessive worry and fears are signs of anxiety. Symptoms of trauma can include: panic attacks, anxiety, hyper-vigilance, anger, depression, and dissociation.

I firmly believe that growth has two paths. To truly flourish, one must balance a desire for change with a true willingness to accept oneselve for who you are. A treatment that embraces this idea is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and it's the core philosophy I use with my patients every day. In treatment, DBT concepts focus on changing things that are getting in the way of living the life you want, while accepting yourself unconditionally. The focus is to develop a life worth living. My program offers a full finality DBT which includes individual therapy, group skills training, and phone consultation.

Experienced trauma and having some sort of related struggle? Helping you work through past/present life experiences is one of the greatest rewards as a therapist. I enjoy helping you learn how to get grounded in the present and live your best life. We can all use someone to talk to who offers us a non-judgmental, objective relationship and that really listens and supports us where we are. I provide a warm, safe environment for you to identify and process struggles that prevent you from being the best version of yourself and living the life you want. I want to help you so you can live fully!

Accepting New Clients! I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples and adult families in their quest for clarity and healing. We will work together to identify and achieve key counseling goals to transform your life and relationships. I strive to bring a warm and open atmosphere that encourages compassion and collaboration. Areas of expertise include healthy communication skills to manage anger and decrease conflict, rebuilding trust, creating sexual intimacy, dating, cultivating healthy romantic relationships and managing parenting challenges. All are welcome: LGTBQ clients, nontraditional couples and adult families.

Are you looking for support? Welcome! I would love to hear from you. I can work with you to help improve your relationship with yourself (and those around you) by truly getting to know all of you - yes, even the parts of you that scare or embarrass you. Together we can work toward a more integrated whole, where you can exist with yourself in more harmony. The results are less shame and self-criticism, more self-compassion, more manageable moods and behaviors, and less reliance on patterns that aren't working for you any longer. I also work with adult sibling pairs who are struggling with their connection and/or conflict.

Therapy can be hard, and I want to make it as safe and approachable as possible. We all have the potential to be our best selves, and I'm passionate about supporting people through the process of figuring out what that means for them. I treat the person who sits in front of me, whatever they come with - depression, anxiety, a history of trauma, illness, complex family and personal histories. I believe that self compassion and relationship are the key components for any therapeutic relationship.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! Sometimes we, as humans, get stuck. Worry, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger can bog us down. Relief, joy, and a sense of connection can seem elusive as we trudge. Whether you are an individual, couple, or family, there is support for you here. I collaborate with my clients using evidence-based, holistic treatment approaches to help cultivate empowerment, connection, embodiment, and love. You deserve to feel good.

Anxiety, stress, anger, substance abuse, trauma... Each one or all of them can turn your life inside-out. But you can feel better and acquire the skills to communicate and control your own life. You can learn how to make friends with yourself and in so doing experience less blame, misunderstanding, and self-criticism. My work is focused on helping you do that. If you are dealing with: PTSD; Anger and Frustration; Depression/Anxiety; or Substance Abuse I would be happy to talk with you.

Are you a couple who is on the edge of getting a divorce? Are you a parent who can’t see hope in your child with health issues? There are many different circumstances that cause us to feel hopeless. Unfortunately, depression, anxiety and even anger often come alongside with a sense of hopelessness. My passion is to help you find hope through compassionate counseling.

In my experience as a mental health therapist, I have had the honor and privilege to be a part of a person’s life who is struggling with mental health. At a young age, I always had an interest and curiosity in the people I encountered in my life, and this continues to hold true to this day. I am continually amazed and inspired by the courage and resiliency of people. We are all in this beautiful life together and sometimes we just need additional support to help us navigate our complicated world. I am a “think outside the box” kind of therapist and will build treatment plans based upon your needs and what works for you.

I believe that change is always possible. While often intimidating, therapy can be the first step toward improving your life. Whether struggling with a relationship, anger management, communication skills, parenting, self-identity, depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to identify the maladaptive thought processes, roadblocks and circumstances that have led to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or helplessness. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families to identify life goals, improve self-awareness and communication, and implement lasting change.
