Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Tulalip, WA

Our uncertain times has likely increased stress and the “What if’s” into your or a loved one’s life. The constant change and uncertainty can foster stress and other emotional reactions. This may look/feel like feeling isolated, frightful, irritable, outraged, sad, guilt or even exhibiting maladaptive behaviors (e.g., substance use, risky behaviors, eating habits, sleeping habits, etc.). While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, having a harm-reduction approach, focusing more on what we can control and less on what we can’t, decreasing stress, reducing your triggers and focusing on our strengths and supports can help.

I provide psychotherapy for adults. Issues include depression, anxiety, and coping with life stressors such as relationships, school, work, and parenting. My primary approach is cognitive-behavioral, focusing on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. I integrate a variety of other approaches based on needs of the individual client. I believe in focusing on the strengths and resources of the client, and working in a collaborative partnership. The therapeutic relationship is most effective when the client feels that they are being treated in a respectful, nonjudgmental and compassionate manner.

Women and individuals who have experienced trauma often become my favorite clients due to their resilience and strength. Their unique perspectives, deep emotional intelligence, and willingness to confront challenges inspire me. Working with them allows for profound connections and meaningful growth. I admire their courage in facing adversity and their capacity for healing and transformation. Supporting them on their journey towards empowerment and self-discovery is both fulfilling and humbling.

I am a proponent of holistic healing - treating the whole person (mind, body, spirit). I enjoy employing creative mediums in the therapeutic process to include symbolic (Jungian), artistic, musical and written expression. There are many constructive ways to channel life's challenges, stressors and traumas. It is imperative to find meaningful, healthy ways to cope. My clinical background is diverse and has included work with teens and adults in the area of trauma and addiction. Additionally, I have many years of experience working with individuals and families contending with various physical and/or developmental disabilities.

Do you feel exhausted and drained all the time? Do you feel stuck, struggling with past traumas and their impact on your present life?

I am passionate about working with couples and individuals and believe that our health is fundamentally tied to our relationships, including the ones we have with ourselves. With that in mind, I strive to create a strong therapeutic relationship that fosters health and healing.

Life can be a series of struggles and even failures. Navigating these can feel daunting and overwhelming at times, but it is not impossible. I believe life should not be lived alone and we periodically need someone to come along side us and guide us through these difficult times. It is also important to celebrate victories and accomplishments when we make it out of a tough time.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD and anxiety in youth and adults utilizing evidence-based interventions (E/RP & CBT), as well as treatment of depression, ADHD, and related conditions. My approach to therapy is holistic and collaborative, based on your unique goals and needs.

When I am introduced to a new client, I want to know why the client has chosen therapy and what needs and goals the client has. Once we discuss this then we will determine the path that we should use to meet those goals. Normally I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior therapy or Cognitive Behavior Therapy because I feel that these two types of therapy work well with a variety of issues. I strongly believe in a strength based client focused type of therapy. Everyone has inner strength and I would help you identify those strengths

I am passionate about assisting individuals and families in achieving joy and satisfaction. I have special expertise with psychological assessment for many diagnoses, with short term cognitive behavioral therapy, ADHD coaching, and therapy for anxiety. I work with children and teens in improving school performance, life skills, and family tranquility. Parents often work with me to enhance and strengthen their relationship and parenting skills, adults come to me for help with ADHD, anxiety, depression, spiritual issues and stress, and seniors often seek help navigating the aging process.

Life can be difficult, painful, wonderful, confusing, and more. As a therapist it is my goal to provide space in this complicated world for people to feel seen and heard, learn about their difficulties and create positive change. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am most interested in helping clients understand how environmental dynamics of past and present have come to impact a person, then learn to shift from unhelpful to more helpful patterns of living. Those I have worked with often tell me that I am honest, caring, silly, and “down to Earth”.

I am a mental health counselor and I specialize in trauma, depression and anxiety, incorporating CBT, Narrative Therapy, and art. I am a trauma-informed therapist. I know the word trauma is both scary and popular right now. My graduate degree was pointed towards PTSD and that's the space I like to work in. This doesn't mean that other mental health issues cannot be addressed during our work together. I like to get a detailed history of one's life, to include childhood and relationships history, past and current coping skills, some of which might have become more detrimental than helpful.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, difficult life decisions can have a significant impact on how we feel on a daily basis. It can interfere with work, school, and our relationships. Sometimes we need a little help. Reaching out for help can be one of the most difficult things to do. My goal is to make this process less frightening.

It is hard for many of us to reach out to someone for help. It may be embarrassment, or being unsure in knowing how therapy would help to heal you. Our journey together will be a compassionate, nonjudgemental classroom where you will learn more of your pure self and its ability to heal. It is important that we both see clearly in our work together: "There’s one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community, university or nation — the ability to see someone else deeply, to know another person profoundly, to make them feel heard and understood.” David Brooks, New York Times
