Hey there! If you’ve found your way here, chances are high that you’ve spent at least part of your life stuck in struggle. Feeling like you have to constantly push through just to make it through your day and feeling powerless over it all. I get it. I know it’s not easy feeling overwhelmed with the anxiety of trying to figure it all out on your own. You deserve to be empowered, find freedom, and to have ownership over your life.

These are stressful times for nearly everyone. We need each other more than ever, for company, for comfort, and for compassion about the particular ways life stressors affect our health, happiness, mood, financial security, relationships, substance use, and more.

Hello, I am an individual, couple and family therapist who helps clients learn to be with themselves and to be with others in a healthy and authentic way. I have interests in working with clients around family life transitions, anxiety and depression, and grief and loss. I work from a strength-based, humanistic, and family systems approach in that I view concerns through an individual lens but also through a much broader relational, social, cultural, spiritual, environmental context.

Are you concerned about your own or someone else's substance use or addictive behavior? Worry, confusion, shame, making excuses to others, relationship struggles, accidents and just getting through each day are typical signs of trouble with drugs and alcohol, gambling, technology or other addiction. If you have been or are exposed to another's addiction you are likely effected by this disease. I understand and want to help you by offering my 30 years of professional and personal experience. If you think you may have a problem and are ready to create happiness, peace, confidence with my support and help, contact me. There is hope!

I have been working in counseling and mental health for over 30 years. In my practice, I work with both couples and individuals. Currently, I mainly work with couples using Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I like to focus on specific changes that my clients want in their lives, build on skills and mitigate the impact of old emotional and behavioral habits that no longer serve life as it is now. It is important to look at all aspects of life: mental, emotional, behavioral and spiritual; quality of relationships, even diet and exercise, in building a positive, satisfying and fulfilling life.

Getting access to mental health care can be a frustrating experience. Between navigating insurance, reaching out to providers, filling out forms, and coordinating schedules- it can feel overwhelming. I do my best to respond to all inquiries within one business day, and to keep my availability updated. My hope is that you can get access to quality care quickly, with either myself or another licensed clinician in the case that my practice is full. I regularly reach out to those on my Waitlist as I have openings. Providing compassionate, non-judgmental, and highly-collaborative mental health care for each client is my aim.

Working with people facing numerous challenges has shown me incredible resiliency and an amazing capacity for growth found within every human spirit. Together we will seek to discover these potentials within you. It is my belief that our nature as social beings brings an abundance of life nourishing solutions. I offer 23+ years of professional and volunteer experience successfully helping people achieve their individual and relationship goals. Please feel free to inquire about my services through a free initial 20 minute phone consultation at: 360-708-1087.

Sessions with me will include open and honest conversations about your past and present while of course exploring and helping you to create your hopes for the future. I begin helping you, or you and your partner, from an understanding that growth and change can be both scary and exciting. I meet my clients wherever they are, and work with them in a non-judgmental and supportive manner to build a life of meaning, both in relationship to themselves and in relationship to others.

Serving as a minister and earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology equipped me to care for people in crises. Working with vulnerable children and their families or caregivers, also proved to be a valuable foundation for clinical care. In a medical academic setting, training residents in the use of spirituality and psychology as they cared for their patients, deepened my own understanding of just how complex clinical issues can become. This also increased my understanding of the level of stress healthcare providers and victims themselves experience during illness.

I can offer you and your spouse, partner or family, Therapy to Support your Life. I have been trained in many modalities and work with my clients in the way that best suites your personality and communication style. I have been a therapist for over three decades working with individuals and family groups to heal wounds, promote understanding, forgiveness and compassion. Strengthen your self Image, become your best self, express your highest potential and awaken your creativity. Live a happy, awakened and conscious LIFE. I can assist and support you in empowering and creating the present and future you desire.

I am accepting New Clients. Have you been waiting for something to change but not sure how or where to start? I work with individuals, couples, organizations and communities that feel alone and isolated, or have become stuck, stressed or stale in how they are communicating, solving problems, coping with losses and changes or making decision. We all go through these times as part of life and work cycles, but there's no need to go through them alone. Sometimes a caring but objective ally can be helpful. I'm here to listen and help as I can.

As a licensed psychotherapist and coach specializing in loss and transition, I support people of all ages before, during and after serious loss by: Providing practical tools for coping with serious illness, death, divorce, retirement and other life transitions, allowing the pain of loss to serve as an opportunity for positive change. Facing loss can remind us of what we value most providing opportunity to consciously make choices that re- affirm these values in all aspects of our lives. Over time, this process of reaffirming and recreating our lives reveals the skills, gifts and talents we bring to the world.

Have you ever felt like you were different but couldn’t explain why? Perhaps you have never fit in, felt like a misfit, were bullied or have always worked very hard to feel accepted. My hope for you is you can unmask in therapy as I come alongside you in your healing process. I counsel neurodivergent, autistic and highly sensitive people and women suffering from premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I don’t have all the answers but will help you to better understand yourself, regulate your emotions and tolerate uncertainty and change in a world that is unpredictable and chaotic.

No matter how straight & smooth we try to make it, life is, by nature a crooked line & a bumpy road! Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma...all by-products of living life. Fortunately, we are hard-wired for health; drawn to people & situations that foster our transformance. However, we develop coping/protective mechanisms that hinder that innate tendency to thrive. We create stories about ourselves & the world that keep us scared & isolated. Therapy is the sacred and confidential space in which these, up until now, forbidden feelings, self-thoughts, memories can be carefully, sensitively and intentionally brought forth into the light.

You want to break free from painful relationship issues, self-defeating behaviors, and just feeling "stuck." The wonderful thing about therapy is that it provides you with a sense of relief - with hope that things CAN get better - by giving you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space to speak freely about what is troubling you, or what is painful in your relationship. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates feelings of aloneness, and facilitates connection, awareness, healing and positive change.
