Welcome! I'm glad you’re here. My psychotherapy journey began after my dad lost his battle with cancer. At the time, I was almost a decade into my first career in the corporate world and began experiencing crushing grief, anxiety, and depression. Fortunately, I found a good therapist. Through our work, I realized my depression and anxiety were symptoms of an incongruent life and career. Just over a year after my dad passed, I quit my job, sold my house, and spent a summer in Alaska before relocating to Ireland. In Ireland, I worked with children, teens, and families from 27 European countries affected by cancer and HIV. This was a life-changing experience for me. I learned that I had the capacity to help people encounter difficult life challenges. I also learned a lot about resilience, connection, and different cultures from the peers I worked alongside and those we served. After two years in Ireland, I decided it was time to pursue a graduate degree and returned to Minnesota to earn a master’s in psychology. As part of the program, I interned at the Center for Grief in St. Paul, which deepened the capacities I discovered abroad. I continued learning to help individuals, couples, and groups work through complex trauma and grief. I also began a yoga practice and Jungian Analysis to further explore my own growth. Upon earning my degree, I became Program Director at The Painted Turtle in California. There, I managed a staff of activity leaders and worked with children, teens, and families facing serious illness. One highlight was running a high-ropes challenge course, where we adapted activities to ensure full inclusivity, including for those with mobility challenges. I returned to Minnesota after two years in California to work as a therapist at The Emily Program. There, I provided individual, group, and family therapy and led intensive outpatient and day treatment programs. Drawing on the wealth of experience, education, and support over the previous 10 years, I opened Rogers Counseling in 2015. Currently, I live in Bend, Oregon, and continue to foster personal growth and healing through hiking, yoga, and Jungian Analysis. I support my therapy practice with a lot of reading, training, and Jungian and NARM consultation.

Services | Fees
Individual Counseling
I offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore struggles, symptoms, and emotions at a manageable pace, guided by your values, insights, and goals.
My approach combines techniques from various traditions, such as Jungian Analysis, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. Blending traditional therapy with body-mind practices is emerging as a methodology that can help people where other methodologies have fallen short.
For those interested, our work can include dream work. Engaging with dreams in therapy may help uncover recurring patterns or emotional conflicts, offering a path toward insight, self-understanding, and personal change. Similar to dreamwork, I have experience helping facilitators and participants of psychedelic rituals integrate their experiences.
I am a certified NARM™ Master Therapist. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) addresses attachment and trauma by exploring patterns that impact emotions, relationships, and physical symptoms.
Couples and Family Counseling
Repeating the same arguments doesn't mean your relationship is failing—it is calling you both to grow. I help you deepen your understanding of surface level frustrations to uncover the root causes of your conflict. Together, we work on four vital shifts:
-
Learn to navigate reactions to unhealed wounds.
-
Understand the natural, healthy balance between space and intimacy.
-
Deepen your connection to each other without losing your own sense of self.
-
Addressing external pressures from work, family, and finances that may be draining your relationship.
My goal is not to force an outcome, but to help you move away from exhausting, reactive cycles. Together, we will build the clarity and maturity you need to move forward with integrity—revitalizing your relationship or parting ways respectfully.
Counseling for Therapists
I offer consultation for therapists seeking a personalized, depth-oriented approach that integrates Jungian, psychodynamic, and phenomenological frameworks to help you:
-
Separate your own psychological history from your client's material.
-
Learn to use therapeutic tension as a diagnostic tool rather than a sign of failure.
-
Build the maturity to accept that a successful clinical outcome sometimes means a conscious, respectful ending rather than forced progress.
