Trauma Focused Therapists in Grants Pass, OR

If you are feeling lost, powerless, or simply overwhelmed, I want to help you carve out a safe space where you can come and reflect on what is important to you and the person you want to be. Together, we can work on the tools, mindsets, and daily acts of care for yourself that foster a stronger sense of trust in yourself and ultimately a stronger sense of resilience. I am deeply inspired by our younger generations and their commitment to equity, authenticity, and self-determination. I work with youth ages 6-24 and - I love my job! Also please note that I conduct ADHD evaluations for youth ages 6-24 if you need that support as well!

I use EMDR to help people change their lives. It is a safe, powerful, and effective way to work together NOW.

Hey Gen Z! I want to help you find your voice and empower you to be the best you can be. I draw heavily from Rogerian (person-centered) therapy, with the belief that clients deserve unconditional positive regard and empathy no matter what they bring into therapy. I also draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use art and play therapy as well. I find passion in working with clients who have experienced trauma and want to find the tools to find their own voice and break out of negative cycles that have impacted their families. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone is a work in progress, and I would love to get to know you!

Shout out to the 10-24 year-olds in Southern Oregon! Your voice and your truth deserve to be heard and respected. If you are in need of someone to wholeheartedly listen and work alongside you to navigate the distress that life brings, I am here for you and your family. It would be an honor to be invited into your life story and to help you embody your most authentic and healthy self.

Trauma and anxiety do not have to stay with you forever. You are off balance, and it is a struggle to get back into your life's routine. Daily affirmations are not enough. Give voice to your story in a safe and comfortable setting and take steps to eliminate your anxiety, rage and heartache. Utilizing a whole-body approach to treatment we will minimize disruptive blocks & triggers and develop internal and external strategies to help you find freedom from fear and regain your self trust. I don't accept insurance, but check with your insurance and see it they will reimburse you from a SuperBill that I can provide to you.

Are you looking to thrive in your relationships and daily life and goals? I believe that the quality of our relationships with those closest to us is critical for fostering a working support system, a place for healing, regular satisfaction, and maintaining our overall wellbeing and goals. I enjoy working with people to help bring relief and empowerment surrounding relational/family issues, sexual abuse, anxiety, emotional stress, and depression. I work with adults individually and their family members in gaining control of situations that dramatically interfere with their daily life. I welcome you in exploring your needs in a consultation and potentially a therapeutic relationship.

I am here to help support you through active listening, validation and reflection so that you can accomplish your goals and become the strongest, healthiest, most successful you!

My aim is to help you see yourself not as flawed or broken, but as worthy. Seeking therapy isn’t always easy when life is not going in the direction you were hoping. Life can be incredibly painful at times. It is helpful to have someone in our corner, who will support and validate, as well as guide and challenge when necessary. I am passionate about helping others and I believe in developing strong relationships with my clients and use a collaborative approach to help you reach your goal. Trusting a therapist and allowing yourself to be vulnerable can be challenging but the end results will be worth the journey.

Most therapy issues stem from issues with control (ie. phobias, controlling others, being "a control freak," feeling controlled by others, uncontrolled thinking, uncontrolled behaviors, etc.). Being out-of-control is extremely uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unavoidable. In therapy we discuss different ways to relate to the concept of control by increasing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to the inevitable uncertainties of life. With Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist you in identifying your "stuck" points and making the necessary pivots towards living a life you love.

Hey Gen Z do you feel misunderstood, worried all the time, or hopeless and like nothing is ever going to get better? Or maybe you need help navigating through challenging situations, relationships, other life stressors, or even just learning some new skills? I would love to help you on your journey to a more wholesome you. I have experience working with ages 6-24 who struggle with their mental health or struggle with behavioral issues. Also please note that I conduct ADHD evaluations for youth ages 6-24 if you need that support as well!

I believe trust and belonging are the basic needs of individuals. How one learns to love and be loved tells a lot about who we are as people and how our relationships develop. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families, thereby hoping to provide change to the system, and not just the individual.

Life has become very challenging for so many and I am committed to helping adults cope in a rapidly changing world. I have years of experience with a wide variety of people and problems, focusing primarily on trauma, anxiety and depression along with a variety of other challenges. I take a collaborative approach and use a variety of treatment modalities, specializing in EMDR and ACT.

I have been working in the helping field for over 10 years and my treatment philosophy is simple. I believe we all have the capacity for change and we all have strengths that can be utilized to assist in overcoming barriers that impact our ability to effectively function. It is my hope we can work together to create positive change that promotes health and wellness.

Life can be difficult! But you don’t have to do it alone. Gen Z- you are in the driver's seat here and I am here to sit beside you, to help you navigate the twists and turns along your journey. With empathy and understanding, we can explore life struggles, anxiety, depression, past hurt, future goals, and more. I hold a safe space for you to process anything that life throws your way. My experience working with youth in various settings of teaching, counseling, and telehealth, has given me an understanding that Gen Z has their own set of challenges to navigate, different from other generations.

Being told your voice is not valued because you’re young is the worst. Your voice matters. Often as a young adult/teen/child, we’re told, “just do it,” and “that’s just the way it is.” Or maybe you’re the parent wanting to connect with your child and asking yourself, “what happened?” I am here to support Gen Z and/or their families with each family member finding their voice, being seen for their individuality, and fostering reconnection with one another and your family’s roots/values. Every voice in the family matters and is valuable and strong and I would be honored to support your quest in nurturing this personal/family growth.

I believe people have the ability to heal from harmful experiences. I seek to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, building trust through compassion and nonjudgmental understanding. I use an integrative approach which includes evidence based theories and therapies. I implement EMDR, cognitive behavior therapy, person-centered therapy, positive psychology, solution-based therapy, and family systems therapy. I take a holistic therapeutic approach in working with the client’s well-being through addressing mental, physical, and spiritual health. Most importantly, I feel blessed to be part of this profession!

Healing is available to you. Deep down, we all have the power to heal. Starting therapy takes courage, and it's not always easy to stick with it. But the changes it can bring to your life are huge. In our work together I strive to invite you to discover things about yourself you never knew, find parts of yourself you thought were lost, and learn how to bounce back stronger when life gets tough. I'm here to walk with you through this journey, gently helping you tap into your own inner wisdom where healing, growth, and a new you are waiting.

I didn't grow up with therapy in my life. My parents divorced and remarried other partners when I was quite young, and that led to a very large, very blended family full of financial disparity and cultural differences. I didn’t venture into therapy until experiencing depression after the birth of one of my children. I then learned about intergenerational trauma and what damage it can do. I have immediate family who identify as Neurodiverse, Queer and Trans, and have chronic illness and autoimmune disorders and am fully aware of the challenges they face.

I have over 10 years of experience providing counseling to those struggling with substance abuse and dependency. I am here to help identify internal and external struggles that hinder a person from being successful in dealing with addictions and the stigma that comes along with it. I offer education around the brain and its functions when dealing with addiction and the behaviors that lead to negative consequences. My goal is to help build skills that develop effective coping strategies along with behavior modification. I am knowledgeable about the resources in the community to help with wrap around services.
