I’m a Professional Counselor Associate with an M.A. degree in mental health counseling from Lewis & Clark College. For as long as I can remember, I have felt things very deeply and have held within me a love and care for others that has continued to guide me. My own path of growth is a lifelong journey and I am grateful for my family and friends and for the solace and healing of being in nature. I am humbled by the experience of being present with another person as they begin to see possibility and hope, change their relationship with their own pain, or feel more connected and alive. As a white woman with many privileged identities, I am continually practicing and learning what it means to work against oppression in a world and a society that systematically marginalizes certain groups of people. https://www.fernpathcounseling.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b0a08cdc5e722dc85a824f/1631748534973-SLLD2QYH9H2RMCF37OIH/leafy+green+creek+scene.jpg Home Approach First and foremost, I am guided by a commitment to social justice. My approach to counseling is relational, somatic, and grounded in attachment theory. I draw from Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), mindful self-compassion, ecotherapy, and other modalities. My practice is trauma-informed. In my work with clients I apply what is known about how the effects of trauma change both the brain and the body and how therapy can help us heal. https://www.fernpathcounseling.com/services daily 0.75 2025-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b0a08cdc5e722dc85a824f/1629163882641-ZOV60LP9K1EJOIRL7TF0/Half%2Bbacklit%2Bsunflower.jpg Services at Fern Path Counseling - Additional note for out-of-pocket payment hand-drawn armchair icon https://www.fernpathcounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-09-09 https://www.fernpathcounseling.com/espl daily 0.75 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b0a08cdc5e722dc85a824f/1631748534973-SLLD2QYH9H2RMCF37OIH/leafy+green+creek+scene.jpg Español Visión y enfoque Principalmente, el compromiso a la justicia social me guía. Mi enfoque de la consejería es relacional, somático, basado en la naturaleza, y basado en la teoría del apego. Utilizo la terapia de los sistemas de la familia interna, EMDR (desensibilización y reprocesamiento por medio de los movimientos oculares) la terapia centrada en las emociones, la autocompasión consciente, la ecoterapia, e otras modalidades. Mi práctica es informada sobre el trauma, y en mi trabajo con los clientes aplico lo que se sabe sobre cómo las experiencias traumáticas cambian el cerebro y el cuerpo y cómo la terapia puede ayudarnos a sanar. Mediante la consejería, puedes aprender a comprender mejor y a confiar en tus sentimientos, pensamientos e ideas. Puedes comenzar a construir (o recuperar) una sensación de seguridad y bienestar dentro de ti mismo, así como en tus relaciones con los demás. Puedes sentir menos vergüenza y más compasión hacia ti mismo. Comenzarás a construir tu camino hacia adelante.
