Grief Therapists in Yakima County, WA

We are each doing the best we know how but sometimes events in our lives can overwhelm us and leave us feeling shattered. We move through life with invisible wounds that separate us from ourselves and those we love. It takes courage to be fully present in our own lives and to celebrate our unique strengths. It also takes courage to ask for help when we are struggling to cope. I will work alongside you as you learn transformative skills that empower you with more helpful thoughts, a renewed sense of presence and a safe mind-body connection.

Finding Hope was created to provide a safe and comfortable setting for people to explore their grief and loss. For those seeking a path through grief and wanting to explore life after a loss and what that means for them. Providing therapeutic support, clinical experience, and a passion for helping others through their journey.

My passion is to help survivors of trauma, challenging life experiences and grief events become unstuck and break the cycle of emotional pain. Often these difficult situations from the past have led to an inability to move forward in life, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and PTSD. Sometimes they lead to questioning your own faith and purpose in life. If you're feeling lost, hurt and emotionally overwhelmed and if you're looking to heal from the past so you can move forward into a brighter future, I'd love to come along side of you on your journey.

Trauma is something most people experience in life. However, for some people, these experiences can be soul shattering. Some events can cause us to lose all sense of ourselves as we collapse into fragmented pieces of who we once were and disconnected from who we are meant to be. I believe we all have value and purpose in this life and beyond. By utilizing a combination of talk therapy, EMDR and creative outlets, I will walk beside you as you uncover all the broken bits and pieces to rebuild the beautiful mosaic of your life after trauma

We all need support throughout our lives, and you may be looking for an additional resource to help you process lived experiences, problem-solve, or understand yourself in a deeper way.

You want to engage in healthy coping skills and develop self-care habits to better support the vision you have for your life.

Asking for help takes courage. As a therapist, my role is to support you through your journey of self-discovery and healing. I believe that everyone has the capacity for healing. It is up to the individual to determine what that looks like for you. I will support you and help you process whatever it is that led you to seek therapy.

Have the challenges in life become overwhelming? Are you looking for helpful support for making positive changes? Do you need someone who will listen and allow you to process your own thoughts and feelings without judgement? Begin a healing journey with me through counseling. Many difficulties are effectively addressed with counseling, including depression, grief, anxiety, trauma, communication skills, decision making, and relationships with others.

Most people don’t realize physical and mental health are intricately interwoven. Memory is encoded with the emotional and neurological information you experience at the time of the incident. These emotions and sensations are then released into the body when the memory is triggered. The survival functions of fight, flight or freeze shut down the immune system, thus undermining overall health. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the brain reprocesses these memories, releasing and metabolizing the distress, and placing the memory squarely into your past.
