If you are an adult or adolescent struggling with problems in relationships, friendships, work, family, or just life in general, I would like to help you improve your ability to cope. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 30 years experience providing mental health and counseling services to people in Washington State and in Maine. I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), as well as motivational interviewing, and insight-oriented therapy.

I identify as a (W)holistic Psychologist in orientation. Human beings have complex connections between their psyche, socio-cultural background and biological self, and are influenced by personal life experiences. The interplay of these aspects are where imbalances may occur and informative symptoms may arise. In my practice, we would collaborate on identifying these connections and reveal unconscious internal reactions that cause us to act, and react in our interpersonal relationships and life choices. My patients seek an authentic life, with increased self-knowledge and a decrease in pain and symptoms

You are not alone. I welcome the chance accompany you on your quest to meet life’s challenges, and I offer my humanity as well as my skills and experience in service to that process. We are not diminished by our struggles. Perhaps just the opposite. It is through our difficulties, not in spite of them, that we come to know our own strengths and gifts. Having someone along who is familiar with the process can be invaluable. Someone unafraid to go into the darkness with you to help you find your way. This is no self-improvement project. You are already more than you know yourself to be. This is about discovery.

My approach as a Jungian analyst/psychotherapist is to facilitate foremost a trusting relationship offering a safe healing environment with my office in my home facing the Olympic National Park. Carl Jung stated: " It is the privilege of a lifetime to become who you truly are." Most people come to therapy seeking relief from depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and relationship/family concerns. The clinical process is to identify your unique ways of coping and healing through these life concerns/traumas that occur for most of us at some point. My primary focus is Psychoanalysis/ Psychodynamic and Family Systems therapy.

We are living in unprecedented times. Individually and collectively, we face pandemic threat, environmental losses, social unrest, economic instability and isolation. Compounding the problem, many of us are separated from the resources that in normal times were there to support and sustain us. While we manage to go about our day-to-day, additional stress may cause increased anxiety, irritability, depression, hopelessness, relational conflict and overwhelm. Addictive and harmful coping behaviors can creep into our lives, serving to further de-resource us. If we have had past trauma, then stress can be further heightened.

Often times, individuals get stuck in the “mud” of life. Sometimes mud is past trauma, various experiences, mental health concerns, and grief. My goal in working with individuals is to find acceptance in the mud in order to live a more fulfilling life. While I specialize in some populations more than others, I find that creating a strong therapeutic relationship is paramount. You are more important than a diagnosis. I tend to connect well with individuals who are in stages of change, difficulty connecting with emotions, interpersonal concerns, difficulty with setting boundaries, and wanting to develop coping skills.

When we make time to listen to our bodies and emotions, we begin to reconnect with our inherent wisdom. We don't lose touch with this wisdom on our own. Trauma, unhealed wounds, and oppression disconnect us from our wisdom and intuition, and impact our ability to find rest in feelings of safety. You and your body carry so much, from the grief and resilience of those who came before you, to the stress of everyday life, and each story of pain, joy, and survival that has led you to seek care. It's normal to experience overwhelm, anxiety, disruption, and depression while carrying so much. You weren't meant to carry it all on your own.

Are you living the life you want to live? You know what kind of person you want to be, and the path appears clear & simple. Yet familiar roadblocks and potholes appear to bar your way. You can: *Connect to your energy and joy *Resolve the roots of anger, become peaceful *Understand and improve your relationships *Handle conflicts in relationships better *Integrate any mystifying spiritual experiences you have had. My therapy supports growth and lasting change. You can always count on me listening carefully to understand you, and giving you clear, kind, honest feedback.

Stress can be very painful and impact every aspect of our lives. When we experience profound stress - from our relationships, our jobs, mental or physical illness or chronic pain - the world can seem a hostile place. This intensifies if we have histories of trauma. The result: a deep sense of disconnection. We feel cut off from our own internal intelligence and alienated from the people and things we love. Some people also struggle with addiction or other behaviors that add to suffering. The good news: stress can't destroy the core of who you are. Your vitality and wisdom are there for you to reclaim.

Welcome to my friendly and cozy office in Port Angeles. If you are struggling with depression, family issues, trauma, or other problems, I can help. Together, we will find your strengths and use them to help you reach your goals.

We each live in a world that has pressured us to be a certain way, look a certain way, have a particular job or partner, or live our faith in a certain way. Maybe you feel like you've never fit in, maybe you've never wanted to and have risked sacrificing the community you've known as a result. Maybe you've got questions about what You really think or what You really want, and are at a crossroads. My favorite clients are those who are seeking greater self-understanding and acceptance, are wanting closer relationships, and who want to find what their own gut says to do next, but are scared of what it might cost them. Freedom seekers.

I am here to help teens, older children, and their families find more satisfaction in life. I teach new ways of thinking about problems, help people develop confidence, and teach strategies to reduce the physical symptoms associated with emotional and behavioral problems.
