I am passionate about working with adults with a history of trauma, especially those with childhood trauma and ongoing stressors. Your story matters, and I am here to listen and partner alongside you as you discover meaning and healing in your journey. I frequently employ a trauma-informed, person-centered approach as these modalities inspire empathy, understanding, and safety in the therapeutic relationship. You are the expert of your own life, so our work together will involve collaborating and promoting your health, healing, and unique treatment preferences.

What happened? Do you understand your true self? Have you discovered how to live life on life's terms in a meaningful way? These are the central focuses of my practice. While I'm a psychiatrist with extensive clinical experience, I consider myself - first and foremost - a therapist who simply has more tools at his disposal as a physician. I always seek to provide holistic care. That is, I work to see and treat the whole you, not just the constellation of symptoms you have. As such, my approach shuns the conventional practice of overemphasizing diagnostic labels and medications. Life - with you in it - is more complicated than that.

Do you want to live your life as who you truly are rather than who you think you ‘should’ be? Overcome the thoughts that tell you you're not enough, aren’t deserving or that there’s something wrong with you. Release old patterns that take you to the same places, relationships and feelings over and over again. Heal your past, relieve anxiety and fear and feel happier, more peaceful and powerful, more confident and inspired. Feel more deeply connected, - body, mind and spirit. Fulfill your passions, your divine purpose and live the life you are truly meant to live. The power to bring these changes into your life is within you

I work extensively with past/childhood trauma, divorces, family conflict, grief, and fear. The focus of my work is about acknowledging and releasing the beliefs we develop about ourselves from events that occur in the past that are hindering our True selves for flourishing in the present. As an original life coach and counselor of 40 years, I help people see all possibilities and make a greater vision of themselves, their unique talents, gifts and abilities. I have been teaching seminars, workshops, and private sessions for my whole career. My unique healing modality, "The Clearing Process", is the basis for all 24 of my workshops.

I offer a welcoming space to explore how disorienting transitions, loss, intense challenges and illnesses can hold within them the possibility for profound personal transformation, renewed vitality, and deeper connections. It was my own journey with chronic illness that began in my twenties that evolved into a calling to support others in their healing. Since 2008, I have worked as a licensed naturopathic physician, health coach, author, educator, and now mental health counselor. My personal and professional experiences have engendered an embodied compassion and humility for the ways in which life can bring us to our knees.

With 23 years of counseling experience, I have found my passion, working with people who have had a significant loss or are making a life changing transition. For the past 10 years I have worked exclusively with grieving people. Witnessing amazing post-traumatic growth through small intentional steps the clients have adapted and integrated into their lives. Working to find strengths which are in each and every one of us in order to help clients heal through growth and acceptance.

Are you a man who wants to change his life and live the life you were meant to? Do you have fears of not being enough? Not smart enough? Not wealthy enough? Are you challenged with the darkness and disease of addictions? Is your relationship healthy? The holistic methods I use heal wounded relationships so they can be happy, strong, and connected. I will help you access the power that has always been with you and find acceptance. My extensive training and experience allow me to use effective techniques to raise awareness and move from shame to grace. Everyone can heal. Why not have a peaceful life? Allow me to help you live it

At times we all find ourselves in periods of growth that can be challenging and confusing. Growth and change can be difficult but if troubling obstacles are removed, one can move towards a healthier, creative, vibrant life with a new sense of meaning and purpose. I tend to look at symptoms individuals are struggling with as guides showing the changes one needs to make in order to develop into their authentic, creative self. The work I do with client’s is often symbolic and includes dream work, creative expression, deep conversation, lessons from nature, and a deep relational connection that can foster authentic experience.

There is no one-size fits-all approach to healing. My therapy programs are specifically tailored to help each unique individual. Sometimes you are just a shift-in perspective away from resolving an issue you have struggled with for years; allowing a total transformation to how you experience life. I specialize in helping those with issues of fear, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, health/wellness troubles and addiction, but am available for a wide variety of other issues as well. Through the sacred process of uncovering, healing and releasing old beliefs, you can re-discover who you really are & find peace, hope and lasting serenity.

My style is solution-focused and fairly interactive because I assume that if you knew what to do, you would have done by now. I excel at helping others sort out what's bothering them and what to do to about it. I'll help you develop new skills and resources for living a happier, more satisfying life. I genuinely care about people and will listen with empathy, compassion and respect while providing the information, support and guidance you need.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults aged 16-45 as I love working with people who are stepping into their personal power, developing identity, and establishing relationships and intimacy with others. I also enjoy helping clients transmute their anxiety and release old family patterns that are no longer serving them. My attitude is warm, positive, and nonjudgmental. I offer an environment where you can truly be seen; I promise empathy and presence. I recognize that you wish to be loved, hope to belong, be understood, and search for value in your life. I invite you to have hope and courage, be authentic and open.

I invite you to bring your strengths and motivation to create change in your life. Does ADHD or anxiety impact your life, personally and/or professionally? Perhaps you are challenged by motivation or organization. Or perhaps you feel "stuck" or experience sleep issues. I will work with you to build skills for executive functioning and help you understand and change the root cause of anxiety to build confidence in your life. I offer teletherapy for clients throughout Washington state or coaching for clients throughout the US. Because I live outside Washington, those with severe mental illness are best served by a local practitioner.

Discover the link between Self Esteem and Anxiety to find FREEDOM. Learn how to stop panic and put an end to anxious thoughts and that constant sense of general anxiety. You will feel more confident and gain control over your life.

As a LMFT I have worked over the past 15 years extensively with adults and adolescents experiencing traumas. Trauma can spill over onto family systems, causing pain and suffering to those we love and who love us. Whether our focus together is healing past traumas, unhappiness in relationships, or finding a way to navigate bringing together a new family system - lets start. I strongly believe in the ability of people to heal, grow, and improve their lives within a safe therapeutic environment, to explore their feelings and experiences. I would be honored to be the person you choose to help the healing begin.

Therapy outdoors is grounding, expansive, and empowering. We meet in forests and on beaches where our connection to nature can enhance your growth and healing. If you’re feeling stuck in anxious and depressive, possibly trauma-based patterns, or if the changes you want to make have been confined by the therapy room or the computer screen, therapy with/in nature has something for you. Research and wisdom shows that our bodies and minds settle when we are mindful of nature. This healing is grounded in anti-oppression and anti-racist values, and offers respect & gratitude to the Lummi, Nooksack and Coast Salish people.

I specialize in working with women during preconception, challenges getting pregnant, pregnancy, postpartum and into motherhood. Becoming a mother is often exciting and joyous but also can be overwhelming, exhausting and bring up mood changes, worries, fears and more. The support of a counselor during this time can be very helpful and can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in working with adult women of all ages challenged with depression, anxiety, eating disorders or difficulty losing weight, chronic stress and fatigue.
