"My therapeutic method includes using a blend of the current proven treatment modalities including the Strengths Perspective, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in order to meet each clients needs as an individual and in order to empower clients to make changes in their lives. In the 20 years I have been in this field in Tri-Cities, Washington I have seen over 2000 children, adolescents, and adults having spent over 150,000 hours in psychotherapy sessions assisting clients in navigating through difficult situations resulting from divorce, relationship issues, sexual addiction, anger, depression, anxiety, and feelings of discontent."

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. Having had experience working with trauma, I often work with those that find past issues are affecting them and their relationships in the present. I also have experience working with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, life transition issues, sexual abuse, chronic pain and health issues, and PTSD. One of my main goals in our initial sessions is to grasp an understanding of your individual identity from an empathic and non-judgmental perspective; it is important in all of our sessions that you feel heard and that your opinion is valued."

"Feeling lost, hurt, emotionally drained and afraid, let me help. I know that asking for help is so very hard especially when at times it feels as if no one could possibly understand and you're alone in pain but I am here to help. I have been helping for over 15 years and I am honored when I get to be a part of your life. If you allow me, I will go with you through your difficult journey to find that peace, relief and sense of purpose you so desperately seek."

"*** Now Available in Two location; Tri-Cities WA and Pendleton OR*** I am passionate about people leading empowered, connected, and purposeful lives. I provide counseling services to diverse clients as they learn, change, grow, and function in increasingly inspired, creative, healthy and adaptive ways. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying needs, making changes, and practicing new skills in a safe and supportive setting. I am experienced in working with adults, couples, families, as well as adolescent clients, on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, identity, and unwanted thoughts or emotions."

"I believe counseling is a collaborative, client-driven process that allows you to identify strengths and build upon them for positive life change. I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified and use this as my primary counseling modality to help those I work with attain their goals."

"I am board certified in counseling, especially enjoy working with men and women misunderstandings, and their worries. I assist clients explore their life experiences, to notice how they have shaped/affected their responses to life challenges today. The therapy that I apply heals without re-traumatizing, and successfully helps clients overcome depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, DID, or PTSD, including adult survivors of ACEs. After therapy, people find themselves spontaneously reacting to current stressors in more age-appropriate ways, utilizing their God-given inner strengths and core qualities such as self-assurance, calmness, clearness, audacity, creativity, compassion, and connectedness."

"As we travel our journey, there are times that we need extra help and support. Especially, to move through the rough and uncomfortable times. In therapy, I believe it is important to meet people at what stage they are in while making that journey. This allows us to build the right tool box to equip them for success. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, teenagers, and adolescents. My experience has been around helping individuals with anxiety, depression, parenting, behavior management, trauma, and other life stressors. My specialties are older adolescents (15+), and adults."

"Anxious? Depressed? Irritated? Unfulfilled? Tired? Moody? Relationships problems? Work issues? Life got you down? You want to feel better, function better, see things from a new perspective, unload, get refreshed and be renewed."

"Life is not always easy, and we all benefit from the help of others while experiencing the difficult and tumultuous times that come our way throughout our personal journeys. Having a therapist in your life who lends support, offers feedback, and teaches new skills is what will often help you to continue growing and learning, and to start living the life that you wish. During our time, we will review the past, become mindful of the present, and plan for that future for which you long. Throughout our journey, we will learn and grow together, in a collaborative fashion."

"I believe each of my clients has the capacity to live a whole-hearted, fulfilling, and authentic life. Each of us struggles from time to time with obstacles that can make it difficult or even impossible to access that authenticity. As a counselor, I have the privilege of supporting my clients in identifying and then moving through these barriers in order to obtain positive health and well-being."

""Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."--Brené Brown. I look forward to helping you discover how to live life in harmony with your values. I trust my clients as experts in their own life, and I'm confident our work together will help you identify, resolve, and accept life's challenges. My primary theoretical orientation is ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I have 15 years experience as a counselor working with teens, families, individual adults, and children. I provide a significant discount for those Clt's wishing to pay cash for service. I am not currently billing insurance companies."

"Everyone goes through challenging situations in life. While you may have successfully pushed through previous problems, it's not uncommon to feel stuck when problems arise where extra support and guidance can help. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals who have experienced a wide range of psychological, emotional and behavioral problems. Counseling is a collaborative process for persons wishing to take back control of their lives. Because every individual's challenges differ, I offer a personalized approach that best fits whatever challenges you are experiencing."

"I believe that individuals are the experts in their lives, and that they hold the keys to personal healing. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can define and achieve their goals, find and give voice to their stories, and achieve personal growth, empowerment, and change through self-compassion and self-care, while challenging the unhealthy patterns and barriers which prevent them from living joyfully. I specialize in individual and couple relationships as well as pornography and sex addiction issues, infidelity and partner betrayal trauma, PTSD, depression/ anxiety, grief and divorce issues. "

"I work with clients from age 12 to age 65. I prefer to work with one client at a time, but see two clients occasionally (parent/child or partners). I can accommodate three, but I am not a family therapist. I am a good listener, and am direct with questions."

"My Counseling Approach: Motivational techniques by truth and honesty. Be empowered from life lessons. Strive balance in life for peace and harmony. And create life goals to keep moving forward toward a positive direction."

"I believe that everyone has an inner strength and that you are the "expert" of your life. We will work together to find and enhance your strengths and identify areas in your life that you would like to make changes."

"As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help individuals uncover true potential. We can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will discover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding one back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in life; I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals."

"Do you find yourself stuck, repeating similar patterns? You often try hard to do better, try something different this time but tend to end up right back where you started. If it could all just stop, that would be great. You push down the anxiety and negative emotions just to get through the day. The way you have been coping isn't working anymore and you feel overwhelmed by the fear, anxiety, grief, depression, or panic that has become standard and way too familiar. The longer you deal with this the more your hopelessness grows. You want to move forward and find hope again. You need someone to understand how you feel. "

"When everything falls apart you are not alone. Often reaching out for help can be the first step in renewing, replenishing, and revitalizing your life. Psychotherapy is one way to gain the strength and support you need. Many of us suffer quietly with feelings of hopelessness and loss. Therapy can bring life back into focus and helps us regain our sense of balance."
