The pandemic is imposing great stress upon us all. Accordingly, I am rededicating my practice to deal with the increase in anxiety, depression, conflict, and isolation in our homes and communities. With renewed emphasis on Jungian depth psychology and somatic therapy, I am vested in helping clients find deeper tranquility, clarity, and relief from emotional anguish and personal loss. Despite the darkness and uncertainty of our time, I believe psychotherapy can be a powerful tool in cultivating inspiration and vitality, which are essential for personal growth and healing. I am currently accepting new clients.

I believe in an existential perspective to therapy to help you reach your goals.  Existential therapy focuses on self actualization and purpose. ​ I believe awareness and small changes can make a big difference.  Setting attainable goals will help you feel successful and motivated as we walk on this journey together. ​ I work with individuals, couples, children, and parents and look forward to helping you find what you are looking for. ​ Supervisor - Carol A. Pendleton, MA, LMFT, LMHC, CMHS ​ ​ ​

Whether you are a teenager, a parent, or a life partner, the task of finding out how to live together - without the fear of losing love - can be challenging. We often need support to create and sustain our commitments. When we feel unsure, we are apt to make poor choices. This may mean we push people away - or the opposite - we cling too tightly. We develop habits that don't serve anyone. Either way, we feel stuck. This is the time to find other ways of being ourselves while also being with each other. If you or you and a loved one are ready to uncover what will serve your relationship, I'll join you on the journey.

We are living through a difficult time. Being able to live in this space of not knowing what the future holds can be disorienting. I provide support for anyone experiencing any form of distress, depression, or anxiety. I often work with clients on questions of purpose and direction. Overarching my approach is an interest in the creation of meaning. How do we make sense of a shifting world? How do we navigate life’s challenges and build our reserves of flexibility and adaptability? I have additional expertise in working with clients with medical issues, and Autism spectrum disorders.

After 30 plus years of clinical practice, my concern continues to be enhancing the emotional and psychological well-being and functioning of individuals, couples and families. Experience and research validates that no person is an island, but functions best in secure relationship. My goal is to foster this safe base within the therapeutic relationship as well as within your other significant life relationships. Woven through my practice is my fascination with factors which foster resilience. Research in this area now provides important skills that allow us to respond and recover effectively from life's small, persistent and most daunting challenges.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with more than 25 years of experience providing clinical assessments and psychotherapy. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the personal history and present goals of each of my clients.

My goal is to help you find ways to better cope with the difficulties that bring you to therapy and make healthy changes that enhance the quality of your life. I strive to help you find pathways to enjoy your life, feel more deeply connected to others, and to enhance your sense of meaning in life.

WILL ACCEPT NEW WASHINGTON PATIENTS in DECEMBER 2020. 'Psychotherapy' in my practice is an avenue leading to deeper self-knowledge, a safe confidential place to address life challenges or heal trauma, learn methods for stress relief, identify undermining behavioral patterns, and improve inner and outer balance. There is a focus on identifying unconscious psychological and emotional blocks that may be preventing one from taking positive risks or making new choices. Identifying the connections between physical, psychological, and emotional health are vitally important.

I have helped clients engage and integrate helpful ways of looking at themselves and their world with resiliency and confidence. Those who have in some way witnessed abuse, major losses, or other overwhelming events often experience anger, depression, sleep disorders, new fears, and troubled relationships. The effects of trauma can impact victims long after the incident. Trauma victims have difficulty expressing their experiences directly and effectively through words. I am passionate about healing mind, body and spirit and truly care about my clients well being.

"The journey we are on takes us in all different directions, testing us at every turn. There is help and hope. I have been honored to hear people's stories at various points of their journey; witnessing, observing, supporting, empathizing, listening and reflecting. Through hearing their stories, I have learned how fragile the human condition is, and at the same time, the empowering strengths and resiliency each one intrinsically has in adapting and surviving the difficulties put before them."

For 25 years, I've worked with clients to support healing around trauma, marriage/partnering, sexuality, grief, depression/anxiety, addictions. Using Somatic Experiencing, family of origin, meditation/movement work, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Internal Family Systems, I work with clients to help them develop a deeper sense of self, to face life's inevitable challenges with clarity and resources. Clients can repair their marriages/partnerships. Emphasized is the capacity to stay emotionally present, to attune, differentiate, have healthy boundaries, practice dual awareness and have clarity about attachment issues.

I work with adults and couples and have experience working with a wide range of issues. We’ll talk about what’s important for you and what goals you have for therapy, and this will guide our work together. I am interested in learning more about how individuals become able to access parts of themselves that can be open to growth and change. When I work with couples I try to understand what is preventing growth in their relationship and to facilitate an atmosphere for new growth and new ways of being with each other.

I was drawn to psychology by the passion to understand the factors that create and support human health, creativity, resilience and happiness. Psychotherapy provides the means for growth and optimal performance as well as healing from the pain of depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and chronic illness. If you would like working collaboratively to achieve positive life changes and goals or to resolve painful life issues using evidence-based methods incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, emotionally focused and eye movement desensitization reprocessing that have had their beneficial results validated by research and years of application, I would love to develop a plan of action with you.

I provide a safe, supportive environment for you to explore the areas in your life in which you are struggling. We all have challenges, and, at some point, we are ready to experience lasting change and healing. Seeking help takes courage and commitment but can lead to a more meaningful life and overall well being. My approach is based on genuine compassion, understanding and mutual respect. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and would love to help you discover your personal strengths and resources, regaining your inherent vitality for life!

Clients express gratitude for the ease and effectiveness of my unique approach, developed from professional experience and my own attention to genuine self.
