Hello, and welcome! Life can be very challenging and overwhelming at times. I know and I get it. For some, we tend to try to solve our problems on our own and reaching out for help is out of the question; sometimes it works. If you haven't been able to solve it on your own, I would love to meet you, and together we can create ways towards hope and begin the healing process. I believe that therapy can assist you by helping to identify what has worked in the past, what you already have within that you can draw upon in helping to obtain what you are hoping for in life.

As a life-long learner, occasional artist, career educator and mental health therapist, I believe that becoming a "whole" self is the ultimate creative activity! I believe Mental Health is about healing, developing resilience and finding balance, by allowing the self to grow and change in response to life experience. There are many pathways to healing and developing healthy balance, and I would be honored to support you in finding yours. Using games, art, journaling and a variety of activities, I can provide support that is positive, growth oriented and focused on your personal strengths.

I'm a therapist with the Rising Phoenix Wellness Center and specialize in grief and couples counseling. Currently, I only provide virtual sessions, but can be available on evenings and weekends at your convenience. My particular therapeutic style is based on not being someone that will nod silently for an hour. I focus on tackling concerns with the hopes that at the end of each session, you gain more and more tools specifically tailored to your needs. When we work together, we are a team built on mutual respect, empathy, and most importantly trust. Together we will find our smiles, curse a little, and learn often.

As a therapist I have witnessed healing and its splendor in the darkest of circumstances and am honored when individuals choose to embark on this journey with me. I know the decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Therapy is not easy. But therapy heals. When you enter therapy you put forth a willingness to acknowledge painful emotions and circumstances and a readiness to explore life events that are often uncomfortable, sometimes even paralyzing. But the insight and meaning you will gain from therapy will lead to transformation, comfort and growth.

In this time of unprecedented loss and stress due to COVID-19 and other world events such as accelerating climate change, I can help you deal with anxiety and depression. My orientation is transpersonal as I see physical and emotional issues as doorways to transformation and spiritual awakening. In my psychotherapy practice, people have achieved new levels of personal freedom and self-esteem. Together, we can enrich your quality of life and enhance your creativity. Integrative healing encompasses body, mind & spirit. We all deserve to be happy in our bodies and our lives. I work also with couples to resolve relationship issues.

You are enough, and I am here to support you. I understand what it is like to feel intense anxiety and deep depression. I can also relate to being a teenager who feels stressed, alone, different, and like no one gets it. If you are a survivor of trauma, I see you. I am here to listen compassionately and offer you powerful practices that cultivate calm, safety, and healing. As a family therapist, I also enjoy working alongside parents and teens to help strengthen relationships, rebuild trust, and learn how to communicate in a way that leaves each person feeling heard and respected. It is then that the path forward can begin.

Each client has unique circumstances, challenges and goals, and I adapt my treatment to best fit the particular needs of the individual, couple or family. I am experienced in helping clients with difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and marital problems. I am currently seeing adults and teens. My office is located in Greenbank, WA, and I provide telehealth as well as in person therapy.

Skills are available to handle grief, anger, depression, guilt, procrastination, and resentment while maintaining the connection to those we care for and love. Good self-esteem is produced when through positive intention and careful attention we meet our challenges and difficulties to the best of our ability and live a meaningful life.

My practice is closed to new clients for now. Licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in Washington, my education and training is in Jungian analytical psychology. Emphasizing the creative principle in healing and growth, this work inspires a devotion to being honest and willing to self-reflect, then make life-enhancing changes in behavior and attitudes. I specialize in listening to, and collaborating with, the generative spark that is in-born within us all. In my book, Healing With Nature, I present fresh perspectives on the nature of psychological transformations.

Couples, Older Adults, Adults. Please call to schedule a free phone consultation. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships! I view therapy first and foremost as a relationship that arises from a conversation. That conversation can be transformative and healing, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me.

During my career, I've worked with many diverse individuals, couples, and families to find healing and restoration from a variety of complicated and often very messy problems. I offer a unique measure of acceptance, support, and assistance for my clients. Besides my experience and training, I've personally struggled with difficult life issues myself. I know healing is possible and I am committed to helping you find it. If you choose to work with me, together we'll discover the root causes of your predicament and strive toward making changes that will ultimately lead to greater happiness and satisfaction.

My personal philosophy of human nature is optimistic, hopeful, and empowering. Human beings are the world's most valuable resource. We can be powerful agents for good and for self-improvement if we choose to engage in the work necessary to realize our potential. My ability to perceive the thoughts and feelings of my clients assists me in helping clients to make significant, positive changes in their lives.

My passion is to help people live their life more fully. I start with a person's strengths and help a person develop tools to manage their emotions, traumas and/or mental illness. I offer telehealth, virtual therapy sessions. My work integrates many different therapeutic styles and techniques depending on what fits best with the client and their situation. Some of these include Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Family Therapy, EMDR and EFT Tapping.
