Medicare Therapists in Tracyton, WA

Change, though necessary and unavoidable, is never easy. Though our resistance to change is a normal reaction I believe that these moments of our life can be an opportunity to see ourselves and our world in a new and more inclusive way. It continues to be my great privilege to support my clients through these transitions.

Our lives are often impacted by forces beyond our control. We wonder if life will ever return to "normal." I work with young and old who encounter challenges common to modern living: Retirement, work stress, family dynamics, personal tragedy, financial troubles, loss of community, and loss of direction. I also address unique challenges associated with aging: Chronic and acute illness, life partner debilitation, and hardships unforeseen. Refocus and reclaim your strengths and life as we work together on insights, new strategies and skills that enable you to overcome obstacles, re-connect with life and your passions.

Every person is unique and amazing in their own way. We come together to share your deepest self and at times there can seem to be few words to connect. We are accustomed to putting on our armor, presenting our inauthentic self and carrying this self into our relationships. We have a loud, blaming inner voice that we listen to and allow to minimize our wholeness. But each of us has the innate ability to heal ourselves.

Sometimes clients who reach out to me are struggling with identifiable issues - depression, anxiety, addictions, stress, grief, life transitions, or illness. Sometimes they're couples grappling with the fallout of infidelity or suffering from a loss of intimacy. And sometimes new clients don't even know what the problem is. They just know something isn't working. I've been practicing for over thirty years, helping individuals and couples gain a deeper understanding of themselves and each other so they can live whole-heartedly and in the present.

The goal of psychotherapy is to understand, manage and resolve problems of related to stress, anxiety, depression & anger, and also to achieve important positive changes in your life. Mindfulness based psychotherapy can successfully reduce stress, by learning how your Moods/emotions, Thoughts/beliefs, Behavior/lifestyle, and Physical body interact and influence each other. Psychotherapy teaches skills to successfully manage your emotions and daily behavior while feeling better, and improving the quality of your life. Psychotherapy focused on healthy behaviors increases optimism by adding positive activities and people to your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained to provide psychological assessment and therapy for individuals struggling with chemical dependency, co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, neurocognitive impairment, learning disabilities, eating disorders, trauma, and adjustment disorders. I utilize empirically-supported testing and clinical interviewing techniques to provide thorough psychological assessments and differential diagnoses. My treatment approach is grounded in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I use evidence-based mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavior therapy, and biofeedback training to help clients gain increasing awareness of their vulnerabilities and strengths. Clients change by learning to monitor and redirect dysfunctional thoughts before they manifest into undesirable behavior.

Are you caught in repetitive, less-than-healthy cycles? If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing, then I'm here to extend a warm and welcoming hand. My aspiration is to help rekindle the flames of your inner strength as you undergo the transformative journey of healing. My approach to therapy is rooted in a holistic and integrative framework, customized to you. I will collaborate with you and help guide you through the uncharted territories within your own soul. Here, you’ll find invitation, compassion, and safety to explore your inner self.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with training from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Utah State University. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy for issues related to depression, anxiety, health concerns, grief, and/or adjustment difficulties due to life changes. I have worked with many successful professionals who require the services of a highly trained doctoral level provider.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Ready to make a change, but not sure where to begin? Help is available!

I can help you address a variety of issues, including substance abuse and addiction (including nicotine/tobacco use), depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, self-harm, grief, low self-esteem, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I do offer letters for gender-affirming care. I currently have a 1-2 month waitlist for new clients.

I strive to provide a safe environment where individuals can reconnect to self, and the expertise to remove roadblocks to success and happiness. If you need emotional healing, to develop life skills, or (re-)discover the joy of living, I believe I can help. I have 40 years of experience working with children and families, often where abuse has been involved, and have helped hundreds of individuals recover from a variety of traumas in their lives, from abuse to car accidents to the death of a loved one. I believe in the power of the individual always to grow toward health.

Learning to navigate the challenges in a constructive and beneficial manner produces a confident, well-adjusted person.

Breakdown and unpacking narratives that no longer serves us with a focus on empathy support and a focus on self healing. Every journey is unique.

Clients will often say “I went to a therapist and they just sat there and listened and nodded.” I’m more than a listen and nod therapist; I would describe myself as an action-oriented and interactive therapist. I work with clients to identify strengths and focus on negative self-talk that is creating a stagnant or distressing situation. Whether you are trying to overcome anxiety, master depression, cope with grief or loss, or survive your child’s teen years you will reach your goals more rapidly by focusing on your strengths. Let's work together to define your new chapter and move you forward.

I'm a therapist with the Rising Phoenix Wellness Center and specialize in grief and couples counseling. Currently, I only provide virtual sessions, but can be available on evenings and weekends at your convenience. My particular therapeutic style is based on not being someone that will nod silently for an hour. I focus on tackling concerns with the hopes that at the end of each session, you gain more and more tools specifically tailored to your needs. When we work together, we are a team built on mutual respect, empathy, and most importantly trust. Together we will find our smiles, curse a little, and learn often.

Life's stressors can be overwhelming. Therapy shows us new ways of being and engaging through practicing adaptive skills and mindfulness. I help my clients uncover connections between past experiences that shape their current ways of coping. This leads to the ability to recognize inner strengths, identify and embrace discomfort, and cultivate self-compassion to find peace and true connection. With empathetic listening in a safe environment, I strive to be my client’s ally. I use cognitive and somatic modalities to connect mind and body and tailor my approach to your needs, even using humor when appropriate!

I work with men and women who are struggling with symptoms of depression and/ or anxiety, issues of grief and loss, compulsive eating, relationship/family and family-of-origin issues, as well as life-phase-transition issues. I am particularly attuned to how early life attachment relationships impact clients' interpersonal functioning as adults. Other special interest areas include working with clients with adrenal fatigue, individuals/ couples struggling with issues as related to fertility challenges and working with/ diagnosing clients with ADHD. I am qualified and licensed to conduct ADD/ADHD assessments and to assign a diagnosis accordingly.

I am here to fully support you on your path of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Whatever is holding you back from living more wholeheartedly and joyfully, I want to help you break free from that suffering. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental refuge to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Together, we’ll seek to understand the storylines, strengths, values and skills you can draw on for greater peace, resilience, and meaning in your life and relationships.

I believe good therapy is a bit like alchemy. As in alchemy we work to turn lead into gold: the heaviness of a weary psyche into the brightness of the luminescent soul. And like alchemy, even the most thorough rational or scientific understanding of the process is insufficient to account for psychological metamorphosis. I work with people who would like to use their capacity for memory and imagination as a force for change in themselves and their circumstances and I help people manifest their vision within the context of everyday life.

I specialize in working with individuals and families struggling with Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD/ADD, Learning Disorders and other Neuropsychological or Psychological Issues.
