Therapists in Washington

Isolation is the killer. For many, influences to pivot away from isolation and towards healing, connection, and growth are complex, challenging, and hopeful. My clients are invited to explore their “painful wounds” and discover how their pain’s influence leads to self-identity issues, certain behaviors, relationship constraints, and patterns that decrease movement toward growth. Growth towards living with a whole heart of emotions, less ambiguity, finding increased purpose, and engaged relationships. Growth towards self-compassion and employing in their lives what they value most.

You never imagined yourself in this position, and it is difficult to know where to turn and who can help. Trauma, addiction, divorce, blended family, and relationship dynamics impact everyone differently. You may be experiencing feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, questioning yourself, and losing direction. Together, we’ll focus on your overall well-being, not just the problems you bring to the table. Your experience and needs are unique, and your treatment should be individualized just for you.

My therapeutic method includes using a blend of the current proven treatment modalities including the Strengths Perspective, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in order to meet each clients needs as an individual and in order to empower clients to make changes in their lives. In the 20 years I have been in this field in Tri-Cities, Washington I have seen over 2000 children, adolescents, and adults having spent over 150,000 hours in psychotherapy sessions assisting clients in navigating through difficult situations resulting from divorce, relationship issues, sexual addiction, anger, depression, anxiety, and feelings of discontent.

Congratulations in taking the first step in finding a therapist. It is not an easy task and it takes a lot of vulnerability to ask for help. I am here to help, to listen and to guide you in the direction that you want your life to go (it's ok if you still don't know the direction). That's what I am here for. Let's work together! I have worked with many modalities and populations. I have experience in ABA, CBT, and DBT as well as experience in coordination of care. I have worked with patients struggling with mild to more severe symptoms and challenges. I can offer a collection of techniques and modalities that best serve you.

My role as a therapist is to listen, diagnose, and present coping skills and therapeutic techniques. You will be asked to apply these skills to the best of your ability, giving you hope for an improved quality of life. The therapy model I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). You will be encouraged to take an active part in your treatment plan. Honesty, trust, patience, and committment are the basics for building a therapeutic relationship with positive results. I will provide a referral counselor for you, if I do not have the expertise for your particular issue.

If there is one constant in life, it's change; a new job or suddenly having to look for one , a new relationship or a heart break, a marriage, a divorce, life not working out the way you had hoped. Let me help you navigate these uncertain times, helping you to find a way through them or take a new tack or tap into hidden strengths. Sometimes we can change the situation; sometimes we must change ourselves, tearing down limiting beliefs and narratives to create new beliefs and narratives that honor our true self, our true values, and our goals.

I will help you find your own way through the difficulties and crises as they may reveal your longing for more authenticity in life. Anxiety, depression, vague emptiness, sudden anger outburst felt within yourself or in your relationships may be a call for your unlived self so it can be integrated; it doesn't have to be just a problem that needs a fix or correction. This integration is the key to bring completeness and fulfillment in both yourself and your relationships.
