Counseling Approach:
My approach to therapy is deeply relational and collaborative. Every individual is uniquely made in the image of God and I strive to honor that beauty, complexity, and depth. I work with adult clients of all ages, with particular specialties in early childhood trauma, major life transitions, and personal growth and exploration. I have also received training in addiction recovery from a trauma-informed lens. By exploring and understanding relational/emotional wounds, we come to a greater understanding of what is getting in the way of living the life you want. Together, we will challenge unhelpful patterns of engaging with yourself, others, faith, and the world.
Therapy is a vulnerable process. My hope is that together we can create a secure environment for us to tackle even the most painful and discomforting topics. I encourage my clients to speak as openly and freely as possible, particularly about the concerns that brought them here. I will listen attentively and with curiosity to what you share. With empathy and kindness, I will offer reflections on what I am hearing and bring your attention to things that may be outside your awareness. I will offer accountability and support while keeping your goals at the forefront of our work. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I hope to hear from you and get started on our journey together!
Faith and Spirituality:
Born into a missionary/pastoral family, my relationship with Jesus has always been at the center of my life and communities. I firmly believe that life is best lived when one is authentically connected to themselves, others, and God. From international missions to participation with local ministry, I have loved seeing how God is at work in different communities across the world. I have also come to see how much pain is present in the world. We are relational beings at our core, and it is often disruptions to our most important relationships that are at the core of our suffering. My passion is walking alongside people and helping them to become more connected, present, and joyful.
Manesha is available for online & in-person appointments for OR residents at our Wilsonville location.
