Therapists in McKenna, WA

Have you been overwhelmed, anxious or depressed by life issues during the last two years, or maybe even longer? Have you encountered events in your life that have caused crisis and loss of what to do? Are you going through a divorce and unsure how to navigate the process of being a single parent? Are you experiencing challenges in parenting a child with ADD/ADHD? Are you encountering challenges in parenting a teen? Are you experiencing grief/loss due to loss of a relationship or death of a loved one? Are you experiencing chronic health issues that have left you feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed? Are you a first responder?

My ideal client is someone that is trying to figure out how to thrive in their life. Building deeper understanding of how their past is connected to their current and future self. My client wants to feel better, have deeper connections and find their own happiness. Often my client sees the good in others and will bend over backward for their family, friends and coworkers, but finds, it’s hard to treat themselves as well as everyone else. My client might also be a family member of a service member, or a service member or veteran themselves, trying to wrestle with the intricacies of military culture, deployments, high ops tempo…

I'm not sure that I have an "ideal client". I am someone who is immensely curious about the human mind, who loves a challenge, and who always wants to help. I work with anyone and everyone and I'm always looking to experience something new! I am experienced in areas such as criminal justice issues, anger management, self-harm, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, trauma, addictions, mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, maternal issues, family issues, and more. I have worked in crisis stabilization, corrections, and residential trauma treatment, allowing me to develop a very well-rounded and diverse clinical background.

I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. I do not believe that people are defined by one experience. Rather, I believe that every individual and their experiences are unique.My hope for my clients is to have a healthy fulfilling life by providing a strength based approach empowering them to make the best choices for their own lives. The goal is to hold a space for clients enabling them to name and set goals, develop skills, build on strengths, and focus on living the life you have wanted to live.

Without judgment or pathologizing, I will help you accept "what is" so you can create "what can be." People naturally move toward healthier lives and choices with the right support: empathy, authentic compassion, sincere curiosity, and validation. Together we will establish a comfort zone in therapy. In the safe haven of my office, you can explore your inner world, discover your voice, put words to your story, and move through and beyond your suffering - to find healing, peace, and joy. My clients report increased self-awareness and personal growth, more meaningful insights, stronger connections, and greater satisfaction in life.

I invite you into a safe, confidential, & caring environment to receive help with anxiety, depression, and difficult situations in your life. Many of us long to be truly seen, heard, & known. Sadly, we have spent years accruing just the opposite: feeling invisible, silenced, isolated, rejected or abandoned. This therapy is collaborative and gentle. I have over 10 years of experience working with people, their emotional needs, & their personal journey towards growth & healing. My hope is that you feel my deep valuing of your life experience, a sense of honor for your uniqueness & my belief for positive change within you.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

My experience & education strengthens my ability to empathize with & support clients across my areas of expertise incl ADHD, Trauma & Work life problems amongst other issues. Before becoming a counselor I worked in corporate IT and telco, and enjoy working with people in the tech space. My approach is personable & empathetic & pride myself on being down-to-earth & unpretentious. Clients have commented on how comfortable they feel working with me, trusting that I have their best interests at heart. When appropriate I am also known to have a spring in my step and smile on my face.

Emotional pain distorts our view of the world. The longer our pain lasts, the more unhappy we become. Unlike a well meaning friend or relative, a therapist can consider your concerns from a fresh, objective, perspective. But a therapist will not solve your problems for you; he will guide you by listening, questioning and observing—- so that you can find your own answers when extreme unhappiness, overwhelming anxiety or fear, feelings of inadequacy and low self esteem, sexual problems, and traumatic events interfere with your life or relationships with others.

Life leaves us feeling stuck, anxious, confused and alone. Instead of living, you are just surviving, life does not have to be survived, it can be lived with freedom. You learned how to be in this world through relationship, and it is through a safe relationship that new ways of relating are created. I am committed to creating a safe place to work with individuals to regain a sense of fullness and purpose for their lives

Do you find yourself paralyzed by racing thoughts? Have you struggled to make it through the day or even to get out of bed? Do you look around at your life and feel like you should be happy but just can’t figure out why you aren’t? Anxiety and depression can manifest in many ways. You may feel stuck, sad, numb, or unable to accomplish even the simplest tasks. You may struggle at work, in relationships, and even in caring for yourself. You don’t have to struggle anymore. Anxiety and depression treatment targeted to the unique needs of women can help.

Changes in life can cause feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, insecurity, and lack of direction. They may create a struggle within your personal identity as you move through life and have new experiences. Despite these challenges, you are trying your best to keep your head above water. But there's a feeling in you that wants more from life. You want to connect with others, develop deep and lasting relationships, form a stronger sense of self, and be confident in who you are. You want to feel empowered - to feel strong, self-reliant, and in control of your life!

Sometimes you just need a safe and confidential space to sort it all out. Life and relationships can challenge us to our very limits as we try to love other people and hold onto our own sense of self at the same time. It can feel overwhelming to navigate the emotions, interaction cycles, and patterns at play in relationships. As difficult as these challenges are, they are ultimately the key to our personal growth and development. I work with couples who want a better partnership, and want to feel heard, valued, and understood. I help them find genuine connection in their emotional, mental, spiritual, and intimate relationship.
