Therapists in Wasco, OR

I have been a counselor for over 28 years seeing individuals, couples and families across the lifespan and from all walks of life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon. I completed my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College and a PhD specializing in Marriage & Family Therapy from Kansas State University. I also completed a two-year post-graduate program in Clinical Human Sexuality at the Menninger Clinic. This blend of training has been useful as I help my clients address both individual and relationship issues (whether their partner joins them or not). I find that, often, the individual and relationship struggles overlap. I have worked in traditional out-patient mental health settings, residential treatment, private practice, forensic assessment and consulting as well as taught for several universities. During my years as a counselor, I have worked with clients struggling with a wide range of issues including those related to depression and anxiety, adjusting to life changes, relationships, parenting, eating and body image, trauma, substance abuse, anger management, divorce/separation, and sexual abuse. My counseling style is characterized by collaboration and respect. I tend to have a client-centered view and use psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral strategies. I believe that the systems of which people are a part (family, social, and cultural, for example) have a significant impact on their health and happiness as well as their pain and distress. Commonly, people set out to solve a problem only to have the solution turn out to be unhelpful or even unhealthy over time. I focus on helping clients address the original issues so as to let go of the now-troublesome solution. I have a deep interest in Positive Psychology and believe that there are many ways in which people can increase their own well-being and happiness in their daily lives. I incorporate many interventions from this field into my counseling practice. It can be that removing the pain or discomfort in life doesn't necessarily bring deep happiness and well-being. There are many ways to enhance this in one's life to create resilience when future challenges show up. If this sounds like a fit with your needs, let's get started!

Hello, and thank you for taking action for your lifelong well being. That takes courage. Therapy doesn't have to be a drag! It can be an amazing, liberating experience. Whatever is troubling you, you can find the peace, power, and answers you seek. A strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in healing. With genuine appreciation for you, a strong, grounded presence, an open heart, honesty and humor, I will be your ally. Humans are relational by nature, and the health of our relationships impacts our well being. Our relationships to Nature, our community, our beloveds, and ourselves reflect our honest, sometimes hidden beliefs, and those beliefs are powerful tools for transformation. We will engage in experiential, evidenced based practices rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness and compassion. I am a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with 4 years of professional experience as a community based psychotherapist. I can help you work through relationship challenges, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. I have worked as a school social worker in Native communities, providing services to exceptional children, youth and families. I can help you advocate for your child so that they get services that will truly help them in school. As a Native woman (Muscogee Nation) who works with Native communities, families, children, adolescents and adults, I have a deep understanding of the impact of historical and generational trauma on our lives. More importantly, I understand acknowledging the trauma is just the first step, and that we have a wealth of cultural practices to help us heal and thrive. I am currently in postgraduate training in Traumatic Stress Studies with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.

For the last 13 years I have worked in family law as a mediator, custody evaluator, and parent coordinator. I'm looking to blend my experience in family law with my mental health training.

I understand these life transitions are difficult and approach each situation without judgment and with compassion and sensitivity. My goal is to help you adjust to these changes so that you are able to be a better parent and/or person than you were the day before. Although I've been in this field for many years, the therapist role is relatively new to me but I look forward to learning together and helping you to establish a plan to reach your goals.

If you feel frustrated, lost, or at a breaking point, you've found yourself in the right place. As a therapist with over 15 years of experience helping people overcome major life challenges, I have a wide-array of tips and tools that can help. As an artist, I am a creative thinker and problem-solver. As an executive leader, I am an action-oriented, strategic thinker. As an intuit and yogi, I have a keen ability to see through the 'muck' of life and provide counsel that hits to the core of our suffering. I specialize in helping people grow through periods of great turmoil, including those in major life transitions, 'stuck-points', relationship challenges, self-defeating behaviors and beliefs. I understand that there are both 'things out there' (aka the world) and 'things in here' (aka within us), that can keep us feeling trapped in a really uncomfortable place. I strive to be my client's greatest cheerleader... someone with a kind heart, wise mind, and trusting ear. When we first meet, I want to get to know all of who you really are and what is really important to you. From there, I'll help you devise a plan that bridges the gap between where you are now and where you'd like to be in the future. Then, I can start devising a series of experiential activities and processing discussions that can help break down each of the barriers between you and your goals. Whether you are someone in the midst of a major transition...or feel like you're facing a 'dark night of the soul' I encourage you to link up with me and let's chat. As someone who has 'walked the walk' and understands the trials of the human spirit, I have no doubt that my unique blend of skills, strengths, and education can help.
