Sexual Abuse Therapists in 98604

I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

My approach to therapy is based on a cognitive behavioral model, helping individuals learn how to cope with intense feelings and overcome struggles through addressing both the mind and the body. I believe knowledge is power, therefore I tailor my approach to each individual yet I primarily utilizes education, skill building and challenging unhealthy thinking styles to bring about change. Of course, I attempt to mix this with the right amount of encouragement to help you get the support you cannot always get from those around you. I work with any and all individuals, ages 13 and up, regardless of personal beliefs and identities.

I have 37 years post graduate experience providing counseling and therapy to children, adults, couples and families. I have maintained my private practice in Battle Ground since 1997, but I have worked in a variety of other outpatient mental health settings also serving adults and children. I am a Child & Family Mental Health Specialist in the State of Washington. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy in addition to having a family systems perspective. Play therapy is utilized for children and conjoint marital therapy for couples. I can also provide supervision for Washington LMHC.
