Clinician

Telehealth and In-Person in Washington County

I know that seeking out and beginning one’s therapy journey requires a great deal of courage. The clients I work with generally arrive facing tremendously challenging life events that often leave them feeling overwhelmed, helpless, bereaved, and even broken. My main priority as a clinician is to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel supported and can imagine and realize new possibilities. Your stories, life experiences, strengths and weaknesses, spiritualities, and identities will be witnessed, honored, and respected. 

Ultimately, your goals and a collaborative therapeutic relationship are what form the foundation of any work we do together. Although I prioritize narrative, attachment, somatic and internal family systems (IFS) approaches and believe in the power of self-compassion, mindfulness, creativity, and imagination, I also incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solutions-focused and psychodynamic therapies to meet clients’ individual needs.

I specialize in working with youth and adults across the lifespan, particularly those whose lives have been impacted by trauma. As an LGBTQIA-identified therapist, I see it as a privilege to support those in the queer community. For individuals who have experienced religious trauma or spiritual abuse, I understand how impactful these types of traumas can be. I also know that individuals have the capacity to grow and flourish as they learn to trust, love, and become their most authentic selves.

My goal is to bring a warm presence, calm demeanor, and intentionality to the therapeutic space. I understand that building connection and rapport are the foundation to all other therapeutic work and therefore I prioritize an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgement. My purpose as a therapist is to provide that safe place where together we can explore your conscious and unconscious thoughts and gain insight into the parts of your life where you may be having difficulty. I recognize that therapy is a collaborative effort, and that each client is the expert in their own life. Thus, I will work with you to understand your unique life experiences and create a tailored treatment plan so that you can reach healing and wholeness. I will assist you on this journey by helping you understand how past experiences are impacting you, and will help you identify your own strengths, skills, and goals by providing tools that you can use even long after therapy is finished. 

I have experience supporting needs related to: children and youth, young adults, families, life transitions, drug and alcohol issues, trauma, attachment challenges, co-dependency, self-esteem, depression, suicidal ideation, grief, and anxiety.

The first step can sometimes feel like the hardest and reaching out for help is a tough hill to climb. I am honored to walk alongside people as they take steps along the courageous journey towards healing through therapy. I believe in empowering my client's to recognize their strengths and work to push them towards becoming the best versions of themselves.

I seek to create a safe space for client's to feel accepted and understood. My experience in various clinical settings has allowed me the honor to work with people from all walks of life and to learn from them. I seek to continually educate myself on the impact I have on society as an educated white woman. I am a lifelong learner who wants to find new ways to use my power and privilege to advocate for others and fight for justice on behalf of those marginalized by society.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. I bring specialized experience in working with children and teenagers from various community based mental health roles.

I use a Person-Centered therapeutic approach and incorporate interventions from Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Play Therapy, and Art Therapy.

I have worked with people who have experienced poverty, houselessness/housing insecurity, trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, ADHD, Autism, and various other developmental/ intellectual disabilities.

I strongly believe that we are not only the product of our experiences in life and that we have the power to positively impact the trajectory of our lives. My goal is to support my clients with seeing their potential and support them in finding deep healing.

I believe in an individual’s power to continually transform and grow. Everyone has moments where they want to pause, reflect on their story, and what they want moving forward. You have made a courageous choice to enter counseling and I am excited to walk beside you on this part of your mental health journey! I work with adult individuals experiencing a variety of presenting concerns: life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, among many other things life can throw at us.

While I do draw from several major theories in counseling, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Strengths Based Therapy, I primarily ground my practice in a client-centered approach. This means that you will be in the driver’s seat during the therapy process, and we’ll learn together how therapy can best serve you.

Education: I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University, a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Western Oregon University, and also have experience in personal support and caregiver roles.

Rob was born, adopted, and raised in Upstate South Carolina, where he learned to love everything college football, bluegrass music, and deep fried. Shortly after high school, Rob enlisted in the United States Army. Upon leaving the military, Rob moved to Oregon in 2014 with his spouse, who was raised here in Oregon. Rob graduated from Umpqua Community College, then attended University of Oregon from where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in General Social Sciences with a concentration in Crime, Law, and Society. From UO, Rob took a stroll across Alder Street to Bushnell University, where he earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

As an autistic adult, Rob sees the world through a different lens than some other folks, and this gives him a unique approach to psychotherapy. In addition, autism allows Rob to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for neurodivergent clients. As a veteran, Rob has plenty of experience in working with other veterans and their unique experiences. As an adoptee, Rob understands the struggles of abandonment and identity exploration that comes with being adopted. All of these intersecting experiences bring a unique perspective to Rob’s clinical approach. Rob employs a blend of narrative, existential, and client-centered therapeutic interventions, relying heavily on Lenihanian dialectics to help clients make sense of their experiences and find healing and peace. 

Concerning hobbies, Rob is an enthusiastic Tolkiendil, in proud possession of an extensive library of books and collections by Tolkien. A quote that Rob often uses in sessions: “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

 When people become overwhelmed by life challenges and past experiences, their lives can be shattered. My mission, since completing my masters in counseling from Arizona State University in 2015, is to provide a safe space for people to heal, process root causes, and find insight to begin a journey of reclaiming their lives. I help adult clients discover the roadmap to defeating anxiety, depression, and trauma, to feel competent, capable, and resilient once more.

I operate from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lens to understand clients, and have been trained in the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Approach, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. In treatment, I’m client focused so clients can learn to become empowered. Counseling has the capacity to help clients create healthy change, and it is a privilege for me to help facilitate the spark of hope that clients, then cultivate into conquering whatever issues they face. 

Exclusively Telehealth

I am a person-centered therapist committed to creating a safe space where I can empower clients to find fulfillment in themselves and their lives. I believe that we are beautifully unique, while recognizing that our life experiences can leave us with internalized beliefs, messages, or patterns we hope to address in order to live a more content life. I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness while holding space for healing and reclamation of strength.

I believe we all have within us the ability to grow and heal, and my role as a therapist is to support clients on their own path through exploration, guidance, and skill development to help them create the changes they wish to see in their life.

Therapy is a very personal and individual experience, and I tailor my practice to the needs and desires of my clients, incorporating aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person Centered Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I primarily work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, but have experience working with diverse populations from all walks of life.

I am an advocate of change, growth, and self-fulfillment. Transitions in life are difficult, whether it is changing jobs, relationships, environments, or simply aging and rediscovering yourself. I can help you to define yourself and the how you fit within your own life by finding meaning in the small things that go by unnoticed or by helping to restructure and find balance for a specific goal. I am flexible in my approach so that I can meet you where you are and help you move toward healing, happiness, or whatever goals you may have.

Telehealth and In-Person in Lane County

I believe the most valuable therapeutic relationships are those that honor and validate your past and present experiences, with the intention of identifying and navigating obstacles to healing and growth. I approach our work together with respect, empathy, curiosity, and authenticity, so you have a safe supportive place to explore: patterns of thought, feeling, physical sensation, and behavior; your relationship with yourself and with the important people in your life; and the valued directions in which you would like to travel. At times, insights gained in sessions can be made more actionable through new skills, and our focus may shift to their introduction and practice. 

My approach is integrative, in this sense, as I draw from approaches that emphasize the insights born out of exploration, as well as approaches that focus on developing new ways to navigate existing challenges. I prioritize flexibility and responsiveness in my work with you, and all choices regarding our work together are done in collaboration. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life-transitions, and communication.

The only constant in life is change. Although change can be daunting, I believe people have an innate ability to transform their lives.

Our work together will be a collaboration where you determine the pace and direction for your growth and healing.

Telehealth and In-Person in Lane County

I believe that all people have the potential to change. Making changes to yourself can be a confusing process that brings up some of the deepest insecurities, weaknesses, and pain. Together we can make space for those tough feelings to surface and we can work collaboratively to discover your strengths to empower you on your healing journey. 

I value authentic connections and seek to empower all I come in contact with. As a white woman in the United States, I recognize the social constructions that define our gender roles, power structures, and identities and work to help my clients define their own values, beliefs, identity, and expression for themselves.

I am currently studying to become a Licensed Professional Counselor at Adams State University. My life journey is a confluence of creativity, movement, expression, and collaboration. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Oregon and have been certified as a practitioner of Structural Integration. I was a dance educator for over 20 years, teaching in studios, high schools, colleges, universities, and in the community. I learned the power of storytelling through movement patterns which expressed and reflected the oneness of human experience. Witnessing the vulnerability that dance embodies, I knew that there was a connection between how our minds work and what our bodies show, which led me to become interested in counseling.

Just as we need air to breathe and survive, we need connection and compassion to heal and thrive. I believe your mental health is just as important as other aspects of your health and dealing with feelings like anger, shame, ambivalence, and loneliness isn’t something you should have to do alone. At times we need to talk and reflect on our issues, other times we need to make direct changes to our circumstances and lifestyles. In either case, I am happily honored to be your counselor and meet your needs while dealing with the uncertainty, depression, anxiety, or disconnection that comes with the struggle of being human. 

 I utilize a flexibly integrative approach to therapy that builds upon your personal strengths to strategically promote health and regeneration of the mind, body, and spirit. As a trauma and PTSD specialist with training in Brainspotting, biofeedback, polyvagal theory, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness behavioral therapy I assist in processing the distressing memories and feelings that may have resulted from your unique life experience. 

I am a born and raised indigenous Oregonian of Modoc descent with a deep appreciation for nature and animals. I graduated from The Evergreen State College with a BA in Biopsychology and from Bushnell University with a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Are you overwhelmed by negative self-talk? Maybe you feel that no matter how hard you try, you somehow seem to miss the mark you set for yourself. Are you struggling with a sense of overwhelming anxiety, and your usual methods of coping are just not working anymore? Perhaps you've been hesitant to seek professional advice because you had a bad experience with a therapist, or you simply dislike labels. I am here to lend a hand. I strive to practice in a way that is most comfortable for my clients. For some, a diagnosis feels like validation; for others, it's a prison. I am happy to provide the service that best suits your needs.

I believe that good therapy is collaborative and non-authoritative. As a queer individual from the south, I am confident in my ability to provide meaningful services and support in LGBTQ matters.

Well, here we are, most of us are recovering from a global pandemic, monkeypox, and now we must worry whether our children will be safe in their schools and whether to return to work or work from home. The decisions we must make for ourselves and our families can be difficult and sometimes that can be very overwhelming. Life can be stressful; I know firsthand what it’s like to suffer and make sacrifices I wasn’t ready for. I too have issues; I would be lying to you if I told you otherwise. Sometimes it can feel as if we have no one to talk to and nobody who cares. Well, that’s not true, I care, and we can face life's issues together. You don’t have to face this alone.

It is important to me that LGBTQ+ and other marginalized populations feel safe and advocated for in their care.
