EMDR Therapists in 98373

I am currently accepting new clients! When we accept ourselves we can more fully connect with others and enjoy being present in our daily lives. Would you like to treat yourself with loving kindness? To respond thoughtfully to others instead of reacting based on past experiences? I enjoy working with adult abuse survivors to develop self-compassion and explore issues related to childhood and relational trauma. If you would like to learn to nurture and care for yourself, to find acceptance and peace I can help!

You have served your community, patients, and faith groups, for many years. The excellent care that you provide you deserve. I have 25 years experience serving first responders, military, and faith group leaders. My focus is on individuals exposed to repetitive traumatic experiences in service focus occupations and faith group leadership. Providing tools to cope with various traumas, I am client centered, trained in EMDR and skilled in experiences that provoke trauma. My therapeutic approach is to journey with clients during dark times and support them as they discover the life they deserve.

“There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet.” - Matt Haig. So very often, we find ourselves facing the word "should". Who I "should" be, where in life I "should" be, what I "should" be able to do. Whether you are just learning who you are for the first time, or are in a place of transition in your life, the process can be very difficult and can often leave us feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood, and in the need of support.

If you find yourself over-burdened by worry, anxiety, depression, or grief, blindsided by unexpected intense reactions to painful memories, or just plain stuck, it might be a good time to talk to a counselor.

Do you or your teen struggle in your relationships, with stress/anxiety, or your sense of self? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and lost by having to meet everyone's expectations, getting through everyday life, and feeling the weight of your stresses? Do you wonder or hope that your life, emotional health, and relationships could be better, or your teen could have better relationships, improved emotional regulation, and higher self-esteem? Now more than ever, adolescents, young adults, and women are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about themselves, finding their place in life, and developing their sense of self.

Would it surprise you to know that nearly every client I have ever worked with has asked me the same question? It's true. "Am I crazy?" I tell them all the same thing: "No. Crazy is a feeling--not a diagnosis. You can feel crazy, act crazy, look crazy, do something crazy--but you cannot BE crazy. Maybe you have been wondering if you are crazy? Or if perhaps you are "losing your mind"? I would like to be the therapist who gets to know you, and helps reassure you that you are not crazy or losing your mind, and to help you feel better in general.

In the journey of life, challenges and obstacles will arise which can leave one feeling unbalanced and emotionally depleted. These feelings can make you feel like your self-esteem has taken a hit and leave you feeling unworthy of love and belonging. I feel everyone has the potential to find balance and healing in rewriting their own future story. My goal in working with you would be to provide a safe place to explore and effectively express emotions, set goals to increase quality of life and improve communication skills while rebuilding your self-worth and self-esteem.
