Therapists in Cle Elum, WA

I work with children, individuals, couples, and families. I believe that our experiences as individuals are greatly affected by our experiences with the systems that surround us; and navigating our place within those systems can prove difficult when done alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that allows us to heal and strengthen relationship that we have with ourselves and our surrounding systems to create a sense of harmony and construct a life for ourselves that reflects the way that we truly want to live.

My clients often feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, have high expectations, and don’t want to burden others. As a result, they sometimes have a hard time not only accepting help but asking for help too. I specialize in stress management, anxiety, moderate/mild depression and relationships. I do a lot of work around negative self talk, self-esteem/worth, assertiveness, self care and boundary setting. For individuals, I start by completing a biopsychosocial assessment, so I can learn about you on multiple levels and better understand your subjective experience. We then move on to setting treatment goals and begin therapy.

Do you feel like you’re stuck in the past and find it hard to be in the present moment? Are you so overwhelmed by anxiety and burnout that any personal/professional commitment feels exhausting? Has something difficult happened and your heart races or your voice gets shaky every time you talk about it? It’s possible to feel at ease and connected to yourself and others after experiencing anxiety, burn-out, or trauma. I’m passionate about supporting teens, Gen Z, and Millennial women through these life events. I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma, which helps people heal from trauma that feels stuck in the mind and body.

Individuals, couples and families are all seen as my ideal client. I typically see clients from the ages of 13 and up, but I do make some exceptions. Clients who are having difficulties with communicating their emotions, identifying their strengths and their core self, or having dysfunctional dyadic or family patterns are clients who I know I can help. Clients coming regularly and genuinely working with me to accomplish the goals we set out at the beginning of therapy are ideal. If you want to better yourself in any way, shape or form, I will be the person who will try my best to help you become the better self you aspire to be.

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

At the edge of your comfort zone is where your journey begins. Challenges are part of life and although we navigate most with courage and confidence, there are times we feel powerless and stuck. By exploring new strategies for understanding our difficulties, we construct a different lens for viewing hardships and subsequently discover our unique capabilities and emerge stronger and wiser. Whether you are a parent struggling with the evolving dynamic of communication with your children, or a partner grappling with the ebb and flow in one's relationship, these are our most essential opportunities for a life changing transformation.

I have 30 years of experience helping clients to identify and heal the sources of discomfort that bring them to counseling. Whether their concerning issues are situational, biochemical, or a long standing pattern of behavior, my approach is to always start with where the client is and what they are wanting out of counseling. I have extensive experience working with late teens and adults, both men and women. My practice includes individuals and couples work which also includes the LGBTQ community.

I am passionate about working alongside an individual, couple or family motivated to live to their fullest potential in relationships! It is a privilege to be invited into a life story. I take it seriously, work with efficiency and excellence right along with my clients. We listen, we laugh, we cry, we look at what has worked in the past and what can change now. I am creative, confidential, encouraging and empathetic. I love working with people. The Bible tells us we are beautifully and wonderfully made with a hope and a future. I believe this. I live and work into this truth with hope!

My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help. Working with couples to save, restore, or provide maintenance is my passion. There’s nothing in the world quite like trauma and the way it impacts us as individuals on many different levels. I can help you deal with and navigate these painful memories and intrusive thoughts to live a healthier life. If you are a parent struggling with a child or family problems, I believe I can connect with and help teach both parent and child to help you be a more successful family unit.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and stress, and couples wanting to work on their communication. Anxiety and stress affect all of us in different ways, and we will work together to find what method of help works best for you. My work focuses on helping people to better understand themselves within the scope of their current lives. I think reaching equilibrium in relationships is vital to growth, and I can help you restore that within yourself. We will work on balancing the past and the current to help people learn how to better rely on their resilience.
