Services
I have worked in the human services field for twenty-four years and as a mental health counselor for ten years.
My license to practice counseling was granted by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists.
The two main therapeutic modalities that I offer are Gottman Couple's Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I have trained up to level three in Gottman Couples Therapy and have been accepted into the Gottman Foundation's Certification Program.
My ACT counseling style has been largely influenced by the work of Dr. Russ Harris.

People engage in therapy for many different reasons and with various hopes and expectations.
Some have tried counseling before, have found it useful, and are coming back for more.
Others may have had mixed experience with psychotherapy, but are struggling and feel willing to give it a go again.
Usually, the impulse to call a therapist is related to some kind of life crisis or difficult passage.
Many arrive sad, confused, and overwhelmed, and may be going through what is sometimes called "the dark night of the soul."

We honor the essential interdependence between humanity and the myriad other life on the planet, and try to incorporate that awareness into every aspect of our business.
For example, we ascribe to the old-fashioned idea of "live where you work, work where you live."
Of course, Ashland is a small town where it is easy to live within several miles of one's office.
When we do drive, the average fuel economy of our "company fleet" (i.e., our personal cars at the present time) is 25 mpg.

Deciding to start counseling or therapy is a unique individual decision, since we all manage our emotions in different ways.
Relationships are not satisfying and you want to learn more about patterns you notice in personal relationships.
You are frequently distressed about something that has happened in the past or you worry a great deal about what may happen in the future.
You feel overwhelming anxiety or persistently sad feelings, or you have a tough time managing anger.
You are concerned about some of your behaviors and wonder if they are out of control or addictive.

Lark specializes in helping couples transition out of blame and criticism and into greater appreciation and enjoyment of one another.
Her approach to working with couples is primarily inspired by the work of John Gottman, PhD, and Julie Gottman, PhD.
Research has shown that all couples have arguments, but healthy couples argue effectively and make lasting repairs.
During intense discord, or when the arguing just feels like too much, the body tends to get hyper-aroused and go into "fight-or-flight" mode.
