Therapists in Pullman, WA

Life can be hard but what’s even harder is trying to figure it out on your own. Trauma, depression, anxiety among other difficulties can be challenging to understand and cause chaos to our lives and relationships. We want to feel better, but feel as if everything and everyone is letting us down. What we want most is to feel strong and free from the burdens of life. Every person’s struggle is unique, but so are their strengths. My goal as a counselor is to help clients find their unique strengths and freedom from pain. I place great importance on assisting clients in finding the tools to succeed and find peace in their world.

Currently accepting new clients. Trauma, attachment, + identity impact people in different ways. Do you often feel detached or numb? Do you avoid thinking about the past or self-medicate? Are you concerned about your parenting? Do you often find yourself in difficult relationships? Are you concerned about your memory? Do you feel sad or anxious a lot? Are you "stuck" in the same pattern? Do you have trouble trusting people? Are you irritable most of the time? Do you feel like you don't know yourself or your purpose? Do you feel incomplete or want meaning in life? If you answered yes to any-I believe I could be a good fit for you.

My therapeutic approach focuses on holistic healing and personal empowerment through individual awareness and processing within a healing environment. Through unconditional positive regard, compassion, and building resiliency, I believe that therapy can be a foundation for change, as well as foster hope. My counseling approach is eclectic, focusing on a person's infinite self-worth, as well as psycho-social background. I specialize in working with individuals who are suffering from the human experience and believe we all deserve a safe space to work through adversity with a safe other. My hope is to be that safe comforting other.

Let me use my many years of experience working with clients to help you through lifes most difficult and challenging events. I use different forms of therapy depending on the need of my client. I can help with a variety of problems such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or weighed down by the curveballs life has thrown at you? As if there are a lot of feelings or thoughts whirling inside you that you cannot explain or understand? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself anymore but can't put a finger on when or why things changed. I believe that a genuine therapeutic relationship and a nonjudgmental space to explore our stories can help us heal what feels broken. The most common issues I enjoy working with are depression, grief, adjustment to major life/career changes, ADHD symptom management and relationship troubles.

I work holistically incorporating mind, body, and spirit. My background includes training in Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy which focuses on felt present experience of the body to access core material of the psyche. I provide virtual and phone sessions. My apologies, my website is currently down and under construction. I can accept straight Medicare in Virginia out of network private insurance or cash. I am now licensed to do Telehealth in Virginia, Nevada, Washington, Utah and Vermont.

Healing takes place when we finally give ourselves the permission to heal. I believe that one of the bravest things that you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Many people believe that therapy is an intimidating experience filled with fear and uncertainty. I strive to create an open, safe, supportive & compassionate space for you to begin your healing journey. I want to help you achieve your goals so that you may begin to live the life that you envision, filled with the peace, abundance and joy that you deserve!

I am in this line of work because I firmly believe in the incredible strength of the human spirit and our ability to create desired change. My M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy afforded an elevated perspective of the human condition through the lens of larger influential systems. This framework shifted psychotherapy away from exclusively looking at the individual to looking at the family and other significant relationships to understand the context of a client's struggle as well as their potential for healing.

Therapy is a place where you can come as you are, process life's challenges, relationship struggles, seasons of doubt, feeling stuck or sad, anger, or maybe even ambivalence. In this space we can walk together through past trauma, areas of hurt or betrayal, and life transitions to pursue healing, restoration, and authenticity. Together we can notice attachment wounds and past events that may be continuing to shape your narrative and work toward interpersonal, inner growth and acceptance. Healing takes work and having support as you wade through those deep waters allows us to face fear and pain with bravery and create resilience.
