Somatic Therapists in Oregon

As we move through life, we all develop our own unique collection of wounds based on our experiences on the individual, relational, systemic, cultural, and historical levels. These wounds can shake our sense of safety and fuel disconnection from ourselves, others, and the world around us. They can dampen our capacity for presence and joy, and erode our sense of meaning and hope. Even in the face of great suffering, I believe that every person possesses the inner wisdom, strength, and resilience to heal, grow, and find fulfillment in their lives and their relationships.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples whose challenges with interpersonal relationships are due to anxiety, depression, and/or past traumatic events. My clients with the best outcomes are willing to engage in deep dialogues, complete "homework" between sessions, and are comfortable with a "hands-on approach” in therapy. I am a good fit for people struggling with social anxiety, depression, religious trauma, life transitions, procrastination, or relationship issues. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA + community and can help people questioning gender identity and heteronormativity.

Waitlist at this time-It's hard work to be a person! Each of us, no matter where we are in life, have our own personal struggles and successes to tell. Be it the stress of our present moment, our anxieties about the future, or the pain of our past, I would be honored to support you. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, productive, and healing space to understand and accept our past, so that we can fully partake in the gifts of the present. All are celebrated here. My areas of specialization include PTSD, Panic and Anxiety Disorders, Religious/Spiritual Traumas, as well as Bipolar and Schizophrenia Disorders.

I work with a range of issues (depression, anxiety, addiction, creativity/inspiration, relationships, job stress, grief/loss) and offer both long- and short-term therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their current experience and to identify realistic steps to facilitate change in order to better serve life goals. I encourage active engagement in treatment to better support greater and long-term desired change and will serve as an advocate on your behalf in these pursuits.

I offer HOPE for the challenging seasons of life. I believe in healing with the whole body and am a somatic healing professional. We are living beings with nervous systems that sometimes feel stuck in different ways. Our nervous system can create physical and/or mental challenges for us in living a satisfying life. I utilize Transforming Touch, a somatic nervous system regulation and primitive reflex integration modality, that helps people improve their distress tolerance and helps reset the nervous system. Healing is possible through the body. Contact me for whole body healing

I provide counseling for a wide-range of challenges including: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, gender and sexuality, self esteem/self worth and relationship issues. I am a relational counselor and prioritize collaboration and empowerment in my work with my clients. Additionally, I often work with those who have been impacted by trauma and I have specialized training in trauma-specific models of care (ie. brainspotting and other somatic resourcing models), for both acute and longer-term recovery supports. I embrace a social justice/anti-oppressive framework that values equity and inclusion in the therapeutic process.

*Accepting New Clients* I help my clients recognize and work through their traumas, patterns, and blocks. They learn that deep within there is a truth that is yearning for recognition. At some level they are aware that this truth maps the path and purpose of their lives. We'll work together to find new paths of success and personal power. I reflect to them the wisdom and talents they hold within so that they may begin to own that identity and build confidence in becoming who they really are. I work from a framework that is Archetypal, Jungian, Somatic, Shamanic, Transpersonal, Holistic, Spiritual, and Vibrational/Energetic.

If you are looking for someone who can hold space with unconditional positive regard, holding your story with compassion and grace, I may be a good fit. I have extensive experience working with a wide array of mental disorders and specifically reprocessing unresolved trauma. I also work with various struggles such as depression, anxiety, racial trauma, spiritual trauma, PTSD, Hoarding disorders, and emotional regulation. I am versatile in the care I provide through evidence based practices and I serve ages 17 and up. If your intuition feels I could help, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

Licensed in OR, CO, WA. Are your symptoms preventing you from engaging in or enjoying activities you once used to? I work with people who battle anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex childhood trauma, addiction, suicidal thoughts and more. Counseling with me will be a warm, authentic and safe experience where together, we can gently process the thoughts, fears and doubts that keep you feeling stuck and perhaps miserable. Therapy may involve helping you develop increased awareness, exploring thought processes, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as learning new skills to manage your symptoms and relationships.

Do relationships feel more challenging than they should? Do you feel stuck, isolated, and searching for meaning? It's normal to use patterned behaviors to self-soothe, and these can be effective—but they can also interfere with your life. Trauma is complex, and personal, and can lead to feeling out of control, dysregulated, and challenged in relationships. Healing and growth is possible. Our therapeutic alliance is the most important determinant of success for you. I specialize in Trauma, Addiction, & Attachment therapy, using SOMATIC, ACT, IFS, and DBT, combined with talk therapy.

I have a passion for working with people that comes from my belief that every individual is uniquely created with a distinct set of gifts, strengths, challenges, and life experiences. As a therapist, I take a holistic and integrative approach, drawing upon evidenced-based treatment modalities and methods to fit the needs of each individual client resulting in a flexible and inclusive approach to treatment.

I offer psychotherapy to individuals and couples who reside in California or Oregon. I offer clinical supervision to associates residing and working in the state of California. As a psychotherapist, I am flexible and tailor my approach to the need of each client. I have been trained in many modalities that offer various benefits, depending on your needs and preferences (EMDR, AEDP, Sensorimotor, Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic, Somatic). As a clinical supervisor, I supervise from a primarily psychodynamic orientation. My practice is anti oppression and trauma informed.

You came here because you have a desire to deepen your relationship with yourself and others, you feel stuck in patterns you hope to change, are processing trauma, or are looking to reclaim lost parts of yourself. You have come to the right place. Working with adults with childhood trauma/complex trauma, couples/relational systems, chronic pain/illness, and queer/trans/non-binary individuals and relationships, I create spaces for care and collaboration. I hope to assist you in building a bridge to yourself that unlocks your inner wisdom and weaves together the vast embroidery of stories, sensations, and emotions in your life.

My focus is on helping clients to connect with their own inner resources of strength and wisdom, and to transform patterns that are no longer serving them. I help clients who are survivors of trauma and chronic stress; healing from PTSD, anxiety, and depression; grieving; on journeys of personal growth; and reclaiming their self-esteem and boundaries. I believe that everyone has within them the capacity for healing and resilience. I use a blend of neuroscience-informed and body-centered therapy approaches, to help your mind, body, emotions and nervous system create new patterns of safety, presence, and connection.

Do you seek emotional healing, spiritual transformation, or support through your grief? Perhaps you feel stuck in sadness, anger or anxiety, and need a way to express yourself and integrate your experiences. Perhaps you have lost a loved one, or your health, or a job, or an important relationship. Maybe the past is not allowing you to move forward. As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, genuine, creative, and hands-on way to process confusion, loss and trauma. I offer individual therapy, as well as grief groups.

Are you not feeling seen or heard? Have you been coping the best that you can with depression, anxiety or trauma symptoms, but life is still a struggle? Let me help you on your journey to recovery. There are so many ways to help unique, individual people with their challenges. Each person has different needs and I treat each client with respect, dignity and autonomy. Collaboratively, we can create therapy goals and demystify the process together.

I am passionate about helping clients gain insight through self-inquiry, heal attachment through authentic connection, release trauma through embodied awareness, and experience breakthrough by dismantling patterns that no longer serve them.
