Family Therapy in Pacific County, WA

I am passionate about serving individuals who seek support, a place to be vulnerable and the opportunity to grow. My work focuses on adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, body image and eating disorders, or significant life changes, such as a career switch, grief or a relationship shift. Just as many pieces make up the whole of a person's life, there are many components that make up a successful experience with counseling. The therapeutic journey begins from a place of trust and support. My techniques come from a combination of Solutions Focused, DBT, Family Systems and somatic therapy.

My style of therapy is warm, accepting, and compassionate. After having trained extensively and been witness to countless stories of transformation, I can say with certainty that healing is absolutely possible. This is an invitation to break free from painful experiences, beliefs, and thought patterns that keep you from living the life you want, and leave you feeling hopeless or weary. I am guided by the belief that what you need to heal is already within you. Together, we will discover your internal source of strength and wisdom.

I know that finding a counselor can be difficult, so I want to give you a sense of who I am and how I approach therapy. This way, you can find out if we are a good fit. You can always call me too if you would like to know more. First of all, counseling is about you. I will do my best to create a safe, supportive, and caring space for us to work together to build the life you want. The primary focus of my therapy practice is teaching unconditional self-love, self-acceptance, and seeking joy in our lives.

I work with parents, adolescents, and adults who need support from a variety of issues including issues related to parenting, general concerns about their children, coping skills for teens and adolescents, managing school stressors, recent diagnosis of ADHD, depression or anxiety, and more. Clients are looking for coping skills and communication strategies to create more harmony and strengthen relationships.

Hello! I specialize in health challenges, grief & loss, caretaking, and professional burnout. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty functioning, or maintaining your relationships, those might be interacting with a big change in your health and life. You might feel lost, stuck, unsure what to do or what is happening. This is normal. It is a passion for me to work with people to open up their lives in a way that are aligned with their values and build confidence in facing and managing their realities.

At times the hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion brought on by life's challenges leaves us stuck or acting ineffectively, unable to determine our best next steps. During these times it can useful to have a guide, someone to help us identify our options, discover opportunities, provide tools for overcoming obstacles, and offer support as we heal and grow. This is my role as a therapist.

Change does not happen overnight. It is a process that happens by taking small steps towards a goal everyday. My goal is to help individual's & families to become stronger & have a healthier outlook on the future/present, so they can develop accepting & loving relationship with themselves & others without judgement. This is done by improving communication, learning & understanding an individual’s past, beliefs or culture can affect one’s behavior, views & emotions, building up self worth, being validated when family members address issues from the past or present.
