Therapists in Veradale, WA

At my very core, I enjoy and cherish people and your stories. That I get to be a part of your process of discovery, growth or healing is a great honor and one that I do not take lightly. I believe in the ability for people to heal, grow and change and draw from a holistic, person-centered approach. I specialize in assisting you through life's adjustments; meaning making, loss, grief and mourning; counseling with counselors; trauma, relationship challenges and struggles with a variety of mental health needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, etc.). I believe in walking alongside you with your healing.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, adoption, sexual trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Once you walk into the room it is up to the therapist & the client to figure out how the therapist can facilitate personal life growth.In session we will learn to Express ourselves through art, nature, our bodies and minds. We may take a walk, create something abstract or sit and talk; the therapy adventure is yours and I am simply a therapist to guide you towards stability, growth and your highest potential.

I love to work with people to improve quality of relationships and life. I draw on personal study, education and continued passion in seeking peace and flow with the ups and downs of life. I work with a wide range of ages and situations whether it be depression, anxiety, divorce, abuse, marriage, relationship issues, parenting or personality issues. I utilize CBT, DBT, Psycho-education, mindfulness, among other theories and therapies to address the mind, body and spirit in the individual. It's my passion and my life's work. Feel free to call and ask questions!

Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, the coping skills we have learned simply are not enough and we feel overwhelmed and out of control. There is a solution to almost every problem. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

I work with clients to process trauma, emotions, and life stressors; cope with and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and post-traumatic stress and expand their window of tolerance/what they are able to tolerate; rewire thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and thereby one’s environment to align with their authentic truth and desires; define and draw boundaries; and identify core beliefs. I love to help women create a life in alignment with their menstrual cycle (intentional scheduling, eating, intimacy, and socializing for optimal energy functioning), as well as help all people structure and deepen their spiritual path.

Some Openings via telehealth and in person, depending on flexibility with scheduling. At Life's Learning, we understand that life can be beautiful and hard both at once. Whether it is relationship challenges, feeling anxious or depressed, experiencing loss/transition or adjusting to something tough that is happening, we are here to support you to find hope and healing. We are a team of caring clinicians, who serve individuals and couples of various ages, with a warm welcome and compassion for the challenges life can bring. We currently have openings, depending on your counseling, billing, office or telehealth & scheduling needs.

Sometimes life can feel a bit overwhelming and cause you to feel alone. I believe that asking for help takes courage and is a powerful move in making a difference in your life. You do not have to go through the struggles of life alone. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where you are the master of your life, and I am joining along for the ride. I hope we can work together to find the answers you may be looking for within you. I am here to help with any life challenges you may be going through.

It is a great honor to walk beside you on this journey. As your therapist, I accept you as you are and not as you should be. Although I believe that therapy is a self healing process , I am here to hold space for you and provide tools to assist you as you navigate your life experience. In 2019, I transitioned into Community Mental Health which is where I have practiced different therapeutic models with individuals from all walks of life. Therapy is not a one size fits all experience which is why I adopt many therapeutic lenses and tailor them to each client.

From the moment you arrive at my office you will be met with what has been designed to be a relaxing, thought provoking, and priming environment that helps create curiosity and tranquility. A high amount of consideration is taken in the process of establishing an environment that is not only welcoming, but enhances your ability to engage your inner world with comfort and inquisitiveness. From this point on, my purpose is to help you unfold your purpose for being in therapy, and collaboratively create, implement, and maintain a plan that guides you towards addressing and moving beyond your distress.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself. You long for companionship and have a deep desire to matter, to belong, and to be respected.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples with ADHD, high-functioning autism, Nice Guy & Nice Gal Syndrome, codependency, addiction, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and grief. If you feel stuck and want to create new patterns in your life, let's talk. We can schedule a free 15-minute consult video call to chat about what you're looking for in therapy and to see if we'd be a good fit.

Life is full of complexities. The most powerful thing that we can tap into is living a heart-centered life, learning about our own inner guidance. There are many internal and external barriers that get in the way of this. We do not have to navigate these things alone.

Currently full, though I do have a waitlist going. I'm a strengths-based, psychodynamic therapist who tailors sessions to my client’s unique needs, values and goals. I am also a neurodivergent-affirming clinician with experience in working with the Autistic and ADHD populations. My background includes working with children, teens and their families in individual, parent, and family therapy settings; with youth, families, or adults with post, current, and/or complex trauma; in therapeutic partnership with teens and adults, including but not limited to inner-child healing.

In a perfect world, we are operating at 100% energy, vigor, and zest. Life's trials and tribulations can inhibit our ability to fully self express. I offer to you the opportunity to get past and triumph over factors in your life that are inhibiting your ability to achieve your goals and aspirations. Whether you struggle from a physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual impediment, our time together will focus on your wants and needs so that you can overcome any such challenges and move forward in the present in an empowered manner. If you are ready, I am ready to support you.

We are an innovative community of unconventional, yet comprehensively trained, psychotherapists providing practical, non-reductive, and in-depth support to help you overcome adversities, resolve outdated patterns, craft more fulfilling relationships, achieve your mental health goals—and address the traumas, stressors, burdens, and conflicts that hold you back from enjoying what your life and relationships have to offer. In general, we foster a holistic and integrative approach to mental health care that focuses on what works and is not limited to what has traditionally been practiced.

As a compassionate and dedicated mental health counselor, I firmly believe in the profound impact of play and trust in the therapeutic process. My professional journey has led me to develop expertise in working with at-risk populations, including homeless individuals and families. I am also skilled in mentoring and providing outreach services to middle school girls. As a mental health counselor, my focus lies in play therapy, developmental psychology, and alcohol and substance dependence treatment.

The decision to seek help is a personal one, often made after trying everything to remedy our circumstances. Childhood issues, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relational issues, and personal loss can take a toll. With over 20 years of counseling individuals and families with a wide swath of difficult circumstances, I have learned to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, truthful, and safe environment that promotes self confidence and hope in overcoming and breaking through the obstacles we all face from time to time
