Attachment-based Therapists in Chelan, WA

I offer 100% teletherapy for adults (individuals and couples). The foundation of my practice is based on attachment and guided by research and work by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman. I am passionate about helping others strengthen and build secure attachments. My work is centered around treating anxiety, depression, women’s issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, grief, and attachment disorders. The treatment modalities I utilize are attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), feminist perspective, the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and Trauma Focused-CBT to name a few.

I work with children, teens, and adults on an individual and family therapy level. My holistic approach helps you recapture your personal power by building upon your strengths, establishing goals, and examining values. I believe in your inherent capacity for growth, healing, and change. I can help you build upon skills and discover how to adapt and thrive. I create a safe and welcoming place for this to occur.

I work with adults & adolescents who feel overwhelmed, have relational challenges, or struggle to move forward after a painful life event. Avoiding distressing emotions/experiences can create more chaos in our lives, leading to feelings of hopelessness and pain. I focus most of my therapy practice on infidelity recovery and betrayal trauma treatment. In therapy, we will explore how your past experiences impact your present and potentially inhibit you from the personal growth you strive for. You will learn ways to share your emotions and needs, develop healthy coping, and improve your overall well-being.

I work primarily with adults, teens and children who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relational and parenting concerns, and various types of transition or crisis such as infidelity and divorce. I provide a warm, supportive, non-judgemental environment with a focus on helping clients utilize strengths, and build skills to overcome obstacles. I recognize that each client has innate strengths and gifts that are the building blocks for creating a cohesive and happy life. I integrate relational and solution-focused modalities and incorporate Cognitive Behavior and Attachment-based therapies to help clients reach their goals.

Thank you for taking time to review my psychotherapy profile. I am committed to offering guidance for those on a path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working mindfully & compassionately to help you achieve your goals.

As a therapist, I believe it is a great privilege and honor to be a part of the journey through an individual's most challenging and rewarding life experiences. It takes a great deal of courage to seek therapy and look inward to face the parts of ourselves we may be uncomfortable admitting exist. Within every individual is the power to heal themselves and working collaboratively in therapy will help facilitate that realization. My approach focuses on building resilience and hope through a blend of modalities including but not limited to Gestalt, attachment-based, emotion-focused, and existential therapy.

Life is like a rollercoaster. Cheesy, I know, but it’s one of my favorite metaphors for life. It’s filled with so many ups and downs, at times we’re holding on for dear life and at others, we put our hands up in the air and enjoy the ride. It’s helpful to have someone beside you no matter where you are on the journey, and that’s why I’m here. I use a trauma- and attachment-based approach to target mind, body, and soul. I use a variety of interventions from somatic, mindfulness, narrative, emotion-focused, and cognitive behavioral frameworks. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are in the driver's seat and I in the passenger.

I use play therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and attachment based therapy. I work with children,teens, families, and adults struggling with parenting . I am ND affirming .

I work with individuals, couples, and families impacted by addiction and compulsive behavior, relational betrayals, sexual abuse, recurring conflict, spiritual/religious abuse, relationship problems, and family of origin issues. Working with me you can expect an open, non-shaming, collaborative stance and a clinical approach that is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and tailored to your needs. I am a research-oriented practitioner and I use empirically tested tools and interventions. I am a passionate advocate for equity and social justice.

Whether you're hoping to process past events, address specific patterns of behavior, or figure out how to navigate an uncharacteristically difficult time—I'm glad you're here. I offer a warm, supportive environment for clients to explore the parts of themselves and their experiences that feel challenging, shameful, or unknown. Using an attachment-based approach, my goal is to assist you in better understanding yourself, the people around you, and how your relationships and life experiences have shaped who you are. In our work together, we will pursue deeper insight, growth, connection, and healing.

I specialize in treating a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. Additionally, I assist individuals with adjustment to life changes, personality concerns, and multicultural issues. My approach is grounded in culturally sensitive therapeutic strategies, which I’ve honed over more than two decades of clinical work with culturally diverse adults, young adults, and new parents.

My specialties are managing depression/anxiety, healing trauma, and relationship enhancement. I also enjoy working with individuals and families facing addiction, especially process addictions such as social media, pornography, gambling, and food. My style is best described as experiential, which means that we learn and grow through experience (rather than being told what to do). I view everyone's problems in the context of their life, history, and relationships. As a somatic practitioner, I believe that our body is our most effective healing tool.

There are times in life we all need help and understanding. I am here to guide you to find the answers you seek within yourself and your relationships. My focus is relational and attachment based, client centered, and solution-focused. I work with individuals, couple and families – pre-teens to adults who are seeking development in their internal life as well as in relationships, specializing in helping to improve emotional connection, communication and conflict resolution between couples and among family members.
