Therapists in Mount Vernon, WA

This may not be the time or place you thought or wanted to be in your life right now, and that can be a sad, frustrating and heartbreaking reality. In that reality, you need someone who can listen, understand and help you sift through the problems of a sexual/porn compulsion/addiction and/or the betrayal trauma from the reveal of your partner’s hidden sexual life, and I offer that service. I've worked for the past 8 years with men in their recovery from active sex/porn addiction, and for the past 5 years I've been working with partners/spouses who've been traumatized by such hidden behavior, and its relational damage.

These are trying times and therapy can help you navigate them and get out of overwhelm. If you want to change the direction of your life, I can help. If you need help identifying your next steps, I'm here for that too.

I believe people want to be heard, seen and validated. It can be challenging to find your voice and identity. Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Addiction just add to that weight, fueling avoidance and hopelessness. Trying to navigate all of this alone may feel overwhelming and impossible. You don’t have to go it alone. I would be elated to help! I am accepting new clients for in person therapy and tele-health. I work with teens and adults of all ages.

Perhaps you find yourself in a challenging life transition, processing a significant event or dealing with an obstacle that has left you feeling unsettled and disconnected from yourself. Whatever brought you here, you should be proud of yourself for taking this step toward personal growth. It's my belief that every person deserves the ability to discover, understand, and become the most authentic version of themselves. When we live authentically, it is about more than just being ourselves, it is understanding and owning who we truly are so that we may find more fulfillment and purpose in our lives.

Have you ever heard of the term "Kintsugi" before? It's an ancient Japanese art form wherein an artist takes the broken pieces of a vase, and mends the cracks back together to restore the art piece. Each crack is then highlighted with strokes of shimmery, golden paint. Kintsugi encourages the artist to heartily and radically embrace the pottery's scars to reveal a new and enriched beauty. I have always been inspired by the redeeming process of the Kintsugi art, especially as it relates to counseling. The very art form itself seems to question why brokenness should invalidate worth, pride, beauty, and value.

You’re on a unique journey. Your struggle matters. If you are reading this chances are you may be struggling in a particular area of life or with patterns of thinking, behaving and relating that are no longer serving your deeper intentions. When we are no longer aligned with our deeper intentions we can start to feel anxious or depressed or our relationships can suffer. Often outdated modes of coping learned early in life can become counterproductive. When we can increase positive coping, better regulate our emotions, and understand what our emotions are trying to tell us, we have increased success in all areas of life.

No matter how straight & smooth we try to make it, life is, by nature a crooked line & a bumpy road! Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma...all by-products of living life. Fortunately, we are hard-wired for health; drawn to people & situations that foster our transformance. However, we develop coping/protective mechanisms that hinder that innate tendency to thrive. We create stories about ourselves & the world that keep us scared & isolated. Therapy is the sacred and confidential space in which these, up until now, forbidden feelings, self-thoughts, memories can be carefully, sensitively and intentionally brought forth into the light.

Currently accepting new clients for in person sessions. I believe we all have good in us and deserve to live our best life. Life is a struggle and we can all benefit from a safe place to talk. Therapy can be difficult, challenging, but also freeing and rewarding. I offer a safe place to discuss hard things and to process traumatic things. Life can be hard and we all just need a listening ear. I will be your biggest advocate but also will not just tell you what you want to hear.

You want to break free from painful relationship issues, self-defeating behaviors, and just feeling "stuck." The wonderful thing about therapy is that it provides you with a sense of relief - with hope that things CAN get better - by giving you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space to speak freely about what is troubling you, or what is painful in your relationship. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates feelings of aloneness, and facilitates connection, awareness, healing and positive change.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) my belief is that each one of us is the expert of our own lives and thus has the tools to develop a more sustainable transformation grounded in compassion and self love.

I am committed to meeting you where you are at through a client centered and non judgmental approach while offering support and encouragement through your individual journey.~ "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you"- Maya Angelou

Our subconscious mind holds the memories and perceptions of every experience from childhood to adulthood. As we continue our journey, the unresolved past continues to affect our bodies negatively and influence our thoughts, behaviors, and everyday life on an unconscious level. We may not understand why we feel or react as we do to certain situations or why the same patterns show up every time and unexplained symptoms and circumstances keep repeating themselves. Often this prevents us from moving forward with our lives, achieving clarity and authenticity.

My focus and passion is sexual health and I work with people of all ages. Sexuality is an important source of identity, connection and pleasure, but I also recognize the ways in which shame, trauma, and limited/unhelpful learning about sex contributes to a lot of common sexual problems and conflict in relationships. I support clients with a variety of goals including improving your sex life, dealing with sexual pain, working through sexual “dysfunctions,” exploring sexual preferences, and dealing with out-of-control sexual behavior. I also work with parents, teens and families on issues related to sexuality.

We will work together to analyze and change old patterns to form new habits. I am certified in animal-assisted therapy and trained in working with kink and non-monogamy.
