Connect with Compassion Focused therapy in Springfield, OR

I am a seasoned psychotherapist and counselor with a commitment to developing the strengths and possibilities within each client that I work with. I believe in providing relief from immediate suffering while also helping individuals with honoring and advancing their own goals. I also believe in the uniqueness of each person.

I believe every child deserves to feel seen, understood, and empowered, and that every caregiver deserves to feel supported in their role. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where we can work together to build confidence, cope with feelings, and create lasting growth.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping clients feel safe, grounded, and supported as they work through difficult experiences. My practice focuses on gentle, evidence-based approaches that empower you to reconnect with your strengths, process what’s been overwhelming, and move toward healing.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You are not alone! My goal is to help you become more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and the life you want to create. You are in charge of your therapy style and approach.

I have been doing therapy for eight years. I specialize in children and adolescents, trauma, depression, anxiety, relational stress, substance abuse, and abandonment issues.

I’m a licensed therapist with 18+ years of experience helping high-achieving adults navigate trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. I offer a warm, collaborative space where we use approaches like EMDR, IFS, and CBT to create meaningful, lasting change—not just short-term coping. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and secure.

I focus on helping people navigate life's transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you're working through stress, relationships, or personal growth, I guide you in building healthy strategies so you can thrive. I am here to help support you and your goals.

Congratulations on taking this initiative toward your well-being!

Your friends and family are telling you to “just get another [dog, cat, hamster]” like you're buying a new toaster. But it’s not that easy. Any pet parent knows how gutted you feel. I know what it's like to lose a pet you loved. I work with adults who have experienced the loss of their pet and with ongoing challenges with anxiety and depression.

I believe therapy empowers people to live fuller, more productive lives. My role is to meet you where you are and provide a supportive environment where we work collaboratively to gain awareness of yourself and others, work through emotions blocking your present enjoyment, and examine your values and assumptions about life.

I work with adults and families seeking support with anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+-related issues, and relational stress. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and mindfulness-based practices to support clients in achieving their goals and working towards fulfillment and feeling better.

Feel that life is a bit too complex and overwhelming? You are not alone, and as your clinician, I bring a personal approach with insight into root patterns over time that may be keeping you stuck. My authentic/consistent style provides an easy transition into counseling, and I will consider your whole self (mind, body, and spirit/core) for change.

I work primarily with LGBTQ+ clients and anyone with alternative lifestyles. My practice focuses on adults navigating transitions and exploring identity. I combine Reality Therapy with Conversational Therapy to create a supportive, affirming environment for personal growth.

Sometimes, knowing how to move forward is the hardest part, and engaging in therapy can be a difficult first step towards change. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to express yourself, improve your insight, address struggles, process difficult experiences, and grow as an individual.

My treatment philosophy centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship and rapport. This foundation allows me to effectively address your individual needs and support you in achieving your personal goals. Recognizing that every journey is unique, I tailor my approach to what is most effective for each individual.

I believe we all can benefit from therapy at various life stages. I'm passionate about supporting your journey to self-compassion and self-knowledge. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I enjoy helping people find their joy and their own path.

As a dedicated mental health practitioner, I provide compassionate support and evidence-based treatment to individuals navigating life's challenges.

If you experience loss of pleasure, difficulty in relationships, or struggle meeting your goals, I can help. Our thought patterns affect our physical health, relationships, and quality of life. Imagine waking up feeling restored, prepared to overcome obstacles, and be fully present in relationship to self and others.

I enjoy spending time with my dog, cats, and chickens. My kids are adults, but I try to spend as much time with them as possible. My approach is to set clear goals and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I use an eclectic style and different therapy approaches to individualize our work together to best meet your needs.

I'm a listener. I would love to hear your story because your story is unique in the world. No one has your history, strengths, talents, or challenges.

As a solution-focused therapist, I want to understand what's not working, but I'm more interested in what is working in your life and what you want more of. We will collaborate closely, drawing on your strengths and resiliency. My approach is present-focused, engaging, knowledgeable, and humanistic. I bring warmth and humor into our sessions.

I help others manage stress, anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, and unexpected losses and transitions. I will help you understand and untangle the effects of past trauma, manage disturbing thoughts and emotions, and find healthy ways to cope or change.

I'm passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with kids, teens, adults, couples, and families, and I believe that with the right support, we all have the ability to grow and heal. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to make sense of things, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Feeling stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed? If you know something needs to change, I’m here to help. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and life transitions with curiosity and courage. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and the life you want to build.

I approach therapy with deep empathy and respect, creating a safe and supportive space for you to explore and understand your emotions. I believe in the power of collaborative healing and will work alongside you to develop personalized strategies that foster resilience and growth.
