Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Franklin County, WA

I believe that we all have things in life that we need help dealing with or working through. As a counselor I provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental place for people to get the help they are seeking. I use several therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing and emotional focused therapy to name a few. When working with couples I use the Gottman marriage approach as well as the therapies listed above. I may explore with the client their past and present in order to promote self-discovery/awareness that will assist them with the outcome they desire.

I consider it my privilege to join individuals and families on their journeys towards wellness! My approach is supportive, collaborative, and often emphasizes development of skills and enhancement of already-present skills (e.g., coping, conflict resolution, parenting). I consider humor an essential ingredient! I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, in a variety of settings such as outpatient, inpatient, and residential, and have prior experience in CPS and adoption services.

When life stressors or traumas arise, it's easy to feel like everything is falling apart. As a mental health therapist, I aim to help my clients heal and navigate through these difficult times. Whether it's children, adults, or families, my approach is to help clients find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so that they can feel complete, whole, and safe.

Is anxiety or depression holding you back from meeting your goals? I believe individuals need to feel safe and heard in order to heal. My goal is to help you identify your wounds that continue to impact your life. I use an empathetic approach in my practice. No matter what stage of life you are in, it can be life-changing to have someone help you process your experiences and emotions. By processing these wounds, we can work together to establish a healthy sense of self-worth. Whether you are experiencing Grief, Loss of a relationship, Parenting issues, and or challenges in relationships, I would be honored to walk beside you.

As human beings, we live and grow and learn in a complex world. At the core of this complexity are the various relationships that we find ourselves in. Relationships with our selves, family members, friends, and communities. Some of these are chosen by us; others are not. Nevertheless, we often find our deepest meaning and deepest difficulties in these relationships. It is in the complex interplay between ourselves and these relationships that we can find ourselves struggling, even suffering. And yet there are strengths and challenges, weaknesses and limits, hope and pain in the midst of this life.

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help.

It is of my personal belief that within most of us lies the resources to live a happy life. Unfortunately, things such as trauma, environmental stressors, or a lack of skills can get in the way of our ability to access these resources. Think of the last time you felt an overwhelming sense of peace, whether that be while soaking in a beautiful scenery, or watching children play. This "peace," or what I call "True Self," is within all of us.

Life is ever changing and there are times when we need someone who is impartial and nonjudgmental to help us through. As a licensed counselor I provide that support as well as a safe environment for individuals to express themselves freely and openly without fear of being shamed, embarrassed or criticized for their thoughts and/or feelings. I see many clients with depression and anxiety and have found Cognitive therapy has many benefits. The skill of mindfulness is one that I practice daily and, after teaching the client, encourage them to use it on a daily basis. I am now a registered hypnotherapist so I can now offer hypnosis.

A traumatic event, seen or experienced, can trigger lasting symptoms. You feel them in your body. While you can't quite identify them, you do know that you feel their effects every day. Panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, and more. What you may be experiencing are the symptoms of trauma. They might be sudden and intense, ongoing, new, or stemming from childhood. Either way, their effects can be powerful and life-altering. It's true, some people may feel these symptoms and move forward with a peaceful, undisturbed existence. Unfortunately, for you, “peaceful and undisturbed” feels like it left your life long ago.

You're ready to change. Ready to learn how to manage anxiety, difficult emotions, and symptoms you're struggling with. You're ready to stop choosing the same type of unhealthy relationships. You're ready to understand yourself better and find peace and healing. You're ready to improve your romantic partnership. You want better communication, to get closer, and heal from past hurts. There's hope. You can experience transformational change in your life and in your relationships with your loved ones. Together, we will work to understand the root causes underlying your experience and work together to find lasting solutions.

If you find yourself believing that change is impossible for you or your child and feel helpless as you see your child struggle with unhelpful behaviors and beliefs, I can help. You want to form healthier relationships, break away from never feeling good enough, from depression, anxiety, and shame. Together we can get to the root of what is causing these unwanted patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It's time to live a life where you are living your values, feeling content about your decisions, and are empowered to face life's challenges.
