Approach

My therapeutic style is collaborative and I make every effort to develop caring respectful relationships. The acceptance-based approach that I use with clients is the same perspective that I find most effective in my own life and relationships. Interventions tend to be integrative, with an emphasis on developing emotional awareness, effective thinking patterns, personal/interpersonal coping skills and mindful self-compassion. I make use of treatments that are evidence-based for people who experience anxiety, depression, compulsivity, panic, grief, relationship issues, and personal or employment transition. My intention is to foster a non-judging, compassionate environment within which people can grow and work toward a fulfilling life.


Depending on the presenting concerns of my clients, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practice and/or clinical guided imagery may be integrated into therapy to facilitate awareness and growth.  When addressing more persistent problems, we may explore early-developed themes, emotional coping strategies, and reactive patterns of behavior.

 

Other Services

In addition to my private psychotherapy practice, I provide interpersonal coaching. I am also co-owner of Reigel Vocational Consultation, a vocational counseling and consulting firm which provides employment-related assessment and counseling.

I reserve a small number of spaces to provide remote sessions using secure web services for individuals who do not live in the Eugene/Springfield area.  These sessions are typically in follow-up for clients who have previously completed treatment, or to provide access when services are not conveniently available.
