Therapists in Castle Rock, WA

Accepting new telehealth clients. Being part of your life is an honor and privilege. Are you living with isolation, not really belonging, issues with loving, anxiety, depression, grief, or loss? Maybe you career is in question? Talk therapy can be so helpful. Sometimes we need someone else to confidentially work through issues and come to a place where you feel more secure and able to handle the demands of your life. I offer a safe place to talk it out. To discover what is beneath the surface and to help you fully engage in your life. Urban or rural, high tech or low tech... I can meet you because I have been there.

My ideal client is someone who desires to figure out how to be more comfortable in their own skin. By this, I mean, a person who feels that something is "off" in their mental and or emotional life and would like help exploring this in a non-judgmental, safe space. I believe we are called to peace and joy and yet so many of us struggle with fear, sorrow, regret, anger, anxiety, depression, trauma.

“The fundamental principle in care of the soul is that the soul needs tending. If we do not tend to things in their suffering, and decay, we risk living the life of the walking dead.” ~Thomas Moore. As I acquire experience as a therapist, it has become apparent that the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client is crucial to the success of the client. Counseling is based on trust and the professional connection, and through that connection, the counseling session becomes a co-creation that can unlock the client’s barriers to a fulfilling life.

An ideal client would be a person who is ready to work through the patterns and issues that keep getting in the way of satisfaction and wellness in life. My work with clients is focused on an individual’s strength while helping them to develop an understanding of their past and present, their inner beliefs and resulting underlying issues. I strive to provide clients with a safe, supportive and caring environment in which to explore their personal issues.

I enjoy spending time with clients who are interested in learning more about themselves and their inner world in order to step into their full potential. Growth, healing, and truth-seeking are important aspects to counseling.

Sometimes in life we may feel “stuck” and unsure how to move, overwhelmed, or alone. We may experience depression or anxiety, go through an experience that leaves us shaken, or hit the end of our rope and burnout. For some of us, we reach a place in life where we lose touch with ourselves or perhaps even come to a crossroads where we have a drastic shift in our understanding of the world and question all that we have known. It is in these times where we may be looking for extra support and need a calm, compassionate space to be seen…

Often mental health issues manifest from unresolved trauma, unrecognized fear, and/or shaming messages which result in an inability to live joyfully. I approach life's dilemmas through existential and spiritual lenses to find hope and meaning through suffering and by increasing awareness and potential for choice and being. I enjoy helping people explore their authentic selves by asking the question, “What do I want my life to look like?” Integrating the answers with spiritual, emotional, physical, and social aspects of their beings, I help others to live a more fulfilling life.

Anxiety, stress, and depression; grief and loss; relationship, work, and family issues; a lack of meaning; trauma, fear, and spiritual crises… are sources of our psychological pain as well as symptoms of incipient growth. It's within the struggling and growing that I may be able to help. I've experienced some considerable wounds in my time and have altered my relationship with, and often overcome them. This usually involved periods of deep reflection; changing how I perceived things; and ultimately, a change in myself. Thus, I’m able to relate to others and accompany them on their journeys in a compassionate, healing manner.

We believe therapy should be a normal part of life and accessible to all. We all experience challenges and need help from time to time. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Our role in therapy is a coach, consultant, and collaborator. It is important to build on your strengths because it enables you to change from a place of empowerment. To us, the goal of counseling is to gain insight through reflection and to build concrete skills so that when future challenges arise, you are better prepared.

Resistance to the very normal experience of suffering, as if something has gone terribly wrong, is natural. We become disconnected from the fullness of our experience and ourselves; the mind, body and our relationships. We practice inclining toward your experience and yourself in these areas with curiosity, cultivating tenderness, interconnectedness, and wise attention. Within all of us these precious core values have a capacity to hold space and a sense of wholeness that runs deeper than our problems.

I focus on helping people who are feeling stuck, not good enough, or anxious shift their lives to make positive changes. I believe people inherently have the potential for growth and healing. Our time together will explore the root of the challenges, identify problem patterns, and help you come out the other side into a new chapter of your life.

No matter how together we appear on the outside, life can feel overwhelming and exhausting if we're hurting on the inside. Challenging circumstances can take us to the edge of our ability to cope, and major life transitions such as the illness/loss of a loved one, trauma, beginning a new phase of life, or changes at home and/or work often leave us feeling full of fear and out of control. Therapy helps you adjust to your situation by teaching you new skills and gaining alternative perspectives.
