"You deserve happiness. I can help you and your family balance and manage life's ups and downs. As an experienced adolescent, adult and family therapist, I am passionate in helping my clients realize their happiness potential. You have goals for yourself, for your family, and I want to help you realize those goals. Therapy isn't just talking, it's also about how to live the life you want. You will learn to integrate new behaviors and change your perspective for the better, through proven interventions and conversations directly targeting your goals. "

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families in transition. I believe we can all get stuck, either during the expected transitions in life (e.g., adolescence, leaving home, relationships, marriage, parenthood, career changes, remarriage, stepfamilies, empty nests, health issues), as well as the unexpected losses, trails and traumas we may experience along the way. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and challenging atmosphere where you can discover new insights about your present, as well as your past, so you can move forward with more peace and clarity."

"At Pacific Counseling and Trauma Center (PCTC), we are a group of passionate, and dedicated professionals that have answered the call to treat those suffering from trauma and anxiety. After her own traumatic life experience, Founder Lisa Larson discovered a powerful trauma treatment called Brainspotting. Through her own radical healing with it, she realized that the talk therapy she had been using with her clients for the last 20 years was not allowing for the deepest amount of healing possible. She made it her mission to create a center with the best possible trauma focused clinicians and treatments available."

"I have worked clinically with teens, children and their families for the last 15 years. I use play therapy to help children with issues of anxiety, grief, attachment, academic struggles and transitions in life. I believe in working with the child/or teen and the caregiver(s) to explore the behaviors, and strengthen the relationships. I use music, art, sand and CBT skills with teens. I provide a safe supportive environment for adults, young adults to develop greater awareness of themselves. The goal being to assist them to achieve greater balance in their life and relationships."

"In the words of my hero, Mr. Rogers, I like you just the way you are. Healing happens in the relationships we have with others, and we all want to have joyful loving relationships with ourselves and our families. We all want someone to love us just the way we are! Sometimes life just gets in the way and, whether through everyday struggles, or big stuff like traumas, divorce, or losses, we can lose our path to that love. I help adults, kids and teens find their way back to joy when they feel like they're just treading water, and I help parents and their kids find their way back to the love and peace they all want at home."

"Today you are one step closer to helping your child and family get back on a positive path to growth and well-being. Life can take many turns and you may find that your child needs extra help dealing with daily struggles. You may notice your child having a harder time in areas that used to be easy for them. You may also notice your child regressing to old ways of coping that you thought they had out grown. Or perhaps there has been a major change or loss in the family, and you are just not sure that your child is processing it well."

"I value my clients as individuals, and know that at some time or other most people need a little assistance to overcome life's challenges. I recognize that no single therapeutic approach is effective for everyone, and I have learned to tailor techniques to match my clients' personal goals. Over the years, I have learned that making even small changes in the way we think and behave can dramatically improve the quality of our lives. "

Ultimately you will be confident that your teen is making healthy decisions. Specializing in the reduction of depression, anxiety, defiance, aggression and/or anger."

"I particularly enjoy clients who are motivated to create change in their lives. Often crisis or exasperation brings us to the place where we know we have to change. Awareness and consciousness are the primary ingredients needed for real change in our individual lives. We are all far more important to others and have far more potential than we realize. My job is to awaken that awareness in my client. No matter where you are starting, your strength is in the desire to start."

"There are two people in every relationship, and that is where relationship difficulties begin! We all enter these unions with people who are different than us- raised in different homes, with different values, beliefs and expectations for their marriages. I believe that most relationship challenges are just misunderstandings from two people just trying to be heard and understood by their partners. Without help, it is easy for couples to get lost in a cycle, repeating the same mistakes in their relationships over and over again and yielding the same results."

"Welcome. I provide adolescent, family, and individual counseling and relational psychotherapy. I treat symptoms related to healthy attachment (relationships), anxiety, depression and addiction.

"I believe therapy should be a place where you can come as you are, share your real self and find acceptance and practical tools for growth. Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed, it means the damage no longer controls your life. I can offer you the professionalism of high quality therapy mixed with my own joy and passion for working with people."

"Do you ever feel like simple day to day tasks are more difficult to complete? Maybe you were more social, but now, it feels more comfortable or easier to stay to yourself? Was there a time when you were able to organize your thoughts and feel in control of your emotions, but now you've noticed it's too overwhelming and you feel powerless over your emotions? Have others noticed these changes? These may all be symptoms related to anxiety and depression, but they can also be signs related to trauma. We often think of trauma as single events like an accident or loss of a loved one, or life transitions."

"I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma. At times the way people try to cope with and manage their past or present difficulties create additional barriers to feeling good, and fulfilling their hopes and goals. As a conscientious, professional, and compassionate clinician, I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which together we can think about, understand and help you work through those feelings and thoughts that are troubling, confusing and worrisome, and are perhaps getting in your way."
