Premera Therapists in Arlington, WA

My experience is primarily with adults, though I am also interested in working with teens. I have worked with individuals all along the treatment spectrum, from inpatient hospitals, detox facilities, outpatient programs, and people in crisis. I specialize in trauma, including PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, and substance use disorders.

My areas of expertise are depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, substance abuse problems, anger management concerns, and traumatic life experiences. I have work in both inpatient and outpatient mental health environments, supporting a wide range of clients suffering from mild to severe problems.

I'm Currently Accepting New Clients! Are you struggling with the transition of becoming a mom while also navigating your relationships, a work life balance, and/ or taking time for yourself? Or maybe you're going through another big life transition (divorce, job change, big move, etc.) and you're unable to cope with it all on your own. We live in a fast paced world where it is easy to become stressed out and overwhelmed and we no longer have the communal support of our family, neighbors, and friends, so our symptoms have only intensified. But you are not alone and transformation is possible. The life you want is possible!

Everyone has the ability, and the right to live a life of meaning, fulfillment and joy. I strive to assist individuals and families to find their way through the emotional land mines and roadblocks that get in the way of having a good life, or even a "good enough" life. What I bring to help this process is a Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Science with a focus on Systems Counseling (couples and family therapy). I am a licensed mental health counselor with 20 year's experience as well as being a state-approved supervisor for licensure candidates.

Hello and welcome. Therapy offers a chance to heal, to grow, and to change. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are, work with them on identifying goals, and walk with them on their journey toward healing and wellness. I offer a safe space for this therapy journey. It is a privilege and honor to work with someone in therapy. I cherish being a part of their life and journey. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. My approach is collaborative, and strengths based. I pull from various evidence-based treatment modalities I have training in, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Each of us is born into an existing and developing story that impacts and shapes us, but not always in healthy or beneficial ways. The desire to be seen, heard, loved, and understood are fundamental needs that often, through no fault of our own, go unmet. Using modalities that draw from trauma informed psychodynamic and narrative therapies, I work with my clients to help them discover, understand, accept, and integrate parts of their story and themselves without shame.

Changes and transitions are hard for all of us. Sometimes they can be great things like a new job, relationship or family member and other times they are hard changes like a death or the loss of something important to us.
