Grief counselors and therapists in Eugene, OR

With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, work-life balance, and women’s issues. While I offer a supportive and empathetic space, I also believe in gently challenging clients to promote growth. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply need a space to process, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to live.

Please note: I provide 100% virtual telehealth counseling and am currently accepting clients who are physically located in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, or Oregon. (I am unable to see clients residing in Virginia at this time.) If you live in MA, NC, AZ, or OR, please feel free to book a virtual session!

I work with adults who want to change their patterns and habits around alcohol and other substances so that it does not become disruptive to their lives. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where you can make sustainable changes without judgment.

I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths.

I integrate evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems approaches—with a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family conflict, grief, identity transitions, and the effects of trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting people from diverse cultural and family backgrounds who are balancing multiple roles, expectations, and life transitions.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, down-to-earth, and empowering. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering your resilience, improving communication and connection, and finding practical strategies for growth and healing—so you can live with greater confidence, balance, and purpose.

I have served aging people since I began working, the last 20+ years as a psychologist. Now, having aged into the group, I understand what it is to live with issues of aging, including the family, health and career / retirement issues that go along with that both personally and professionally. I am here to help others write their personalized how-to manual for a happier second half of life.

Therapy works best when you don't have to leave part of yourself at the door. With more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and some of the passages that are hardest to put into words: infertility, pregnancy loss, maternal mental health, and the particular weight that women carry through seasons of life that rarely get enough support. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and my practice is open to people of all faith backgrounds as well as those without religious beliefs. Whatever you believe, you are welcome here.

Hi, I’m AJ. I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, youth, and families.

You might be feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you're facing something painful—loss, addiction, past trauma—or finding it hard to connect with others. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, helping clients reconnect with their internal wisdom and resilience.

My practice is a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build coping skills, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I will meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want to create.

If you're ready to begin this journey, I’d love to work with you!
