Therapists in Salem, OR

Have you been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unhappy, or alone in your life? Chronic stress, life transitions, loss, or emotional pain often leave us feeling helpless over our situations and limit our perspective about how we can move forward. If you feel like you are constantly looking for "more", stuck in your past, have chronic feelings of emptiness or fear about the future, you are not alone. Tackling these problems on your own can be isolating and it is important to find the right support to help you progress toward your goals.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, so take a moment to acknowledge that you have come this far in recognizing therapy may be a helpful approach for you. Therapy requires self-reflection, an open heart, and a curious mind into learning about ourselves and the way in which we interact with the world and those around us. Although it may be daunting, it is incredibly rewarding to unpack and understand what is getting in the way of happiness, growth, and self-compassion.

I believe growth and change happen when you are given a safe place to work on your goals. Together, we can work towards making sense of challenging situations and circumstances. You don't have to do it alone. If you are looking to improve a significant relationship or heal a relationship wound, I can help you and your partner to repair the hurt and strengthen your bond. If you are seeking to conquer your own issues from the past or present, together we can explore those areas in order to bring healing and a new sense of understanding and purpose to the present.

I am accepting new clients though currently only in teletherapy. My general approach is called rational eclecticism; using the most effective therapeutic approach to address each individual's unique issues. I’m increasingly focusing on trauma and toxic stress and the ways it often shows up as depression, anxiety, sadness and at times a loss of identity. Some clients beginning counseling remember feeling joy, excitement, or self-confidence that they rarely if ever feel when they first begin therapy. The people I’ve been working with have been finding this approach to somatic therapy very helpful and frequently, transformative.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed by the State of Oregon. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Washington School of Social Work.

As a professional counselor, I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults. I can treat a wide range of mental health disorders. I can also offer support with parent-child conflicts, anger management, grief, past or present suicidal ideation, and conflict resolution skills. I am also familiar with issues and concerns related to marriage and long term relationships, parenting, substance use and recovery, divorce, and changes in phase of life. I prefer a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) approach, while working with clients.

In my practice I work collaboratively with clients to establish therapy goals and provide a safe, compassionate place to process. I am inspired by my client's dedication and courage to tackle some of the challenging moments of their life. I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and am specialized in working with women who experienced trauma. Most clients I work with seek therapy to reduce trauma symptoms, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, OCD symptoms and depression.

My goal is to provide you with support and guidance on your journey of healing and growth. I believe that you have the strength and resilience to navigate your challenges. It is a privilege for me to walk with you on the journey of discovering your inner resources and unique path to well-being. I hold a safe, non-judgmental space for you, where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences and where we can build a strong foundation of collaboration and growth.

My work focuses on increasing satisfaction and meaning in people's lives. My goal is providing competent, insight-focused therapy with an emphasis on self-compassion and improving the relationship with the self. My approach is helpful for people trying to navigate burnout, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and self-criticism. Growing up as a biracial Latino, I struggled with navigating questions about racial identity, internalized racism, fitting in with different groups, and managing different sets of cultural expectations. I’m passionate about working with clients who experience similar challenges with any of their identities.

It is hard to share your life story with just anyone, but be rest assured that you will be treated with the utmost respect in my care. Having a trusting relationship with your counselor is one of the most important aspects of counseling effectiveness and something you can count on when working with me! My focus is strength based individual, couple, and family counseling. I see healthy relationships with self and others as the foundation to well being.

You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.

My vision is to empower every person who seeks help to achieve balance in their lives by offering the opportunity to access new tools and improve unwanted behaviors. I provide affordable therapeutic interventions to the adult population seeking help with depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, burnout (political, professional, social media, etc.) or other emotional disturbances. My experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care and provide a neutral ground for individuals and couples who are committed to working toward their goals and values.

Are you struggling with anxiety and depression and you are ready to start healing? You have been in therapy before, but you are looking for something different than regular talk therapy. You like to go back to be your happier self and feel unstuck. You want to finally let go of your past traumas and not just find a coping skill but to finally release what has been holding you back. Want to improve your self-confidence, have better relationships with significant others and family members. You can overcome struggles by learning the root of your problems in order to move on and feel joyful again.

Every failure we experience we feel as indicative of our future when in fact, everything we attempt, every time, has the potential for failure or success.

It is my honor to help people live life to their fullest potential. Whatever obstacles may be in your way to living a fulfilling life of love, health, happiness, abundance and compassion, I can help you find the strength and insight within yourself to overcome. I believe that we all have purpose and power in this life to be shared with ourselves and others. Sometimes we become lost on our way, or perhaps misguided and unhappy, and with a little help, we can create a purposeful, loving life. I offer a holistic approach and specialize in the mind-body connection.

I am accepting NEW clients. I am seeking clients who are ready to work on their personal struggles and gain insight into what is triggering symptoms. I am interested in individuals who are on the spectrum, the LGBTQIA community, Self-esteems and self love concerns, generational trauma, post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, and depression. I primarily run my practice Friday through Sunday, with some flexibility. Fot questions, please contact me.

Making the decision to begin counseling can be difficult, and even feel a bit scary at first. I have a friendly, relaxed, and intuitive approach that I bring into our space that we will create together through telehealth. Relationship is important in the therapeutic process and I put great care into establishing a safe and secure foundation for us to work from. For my younger clients, I focus heavily on the parent-child relationship and family systems work, as that will be the most important relationship to strengthen in our time together.
