"**I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** Having someone to talk to, to find solutions and empower your skills can be helpful when life is demanding. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with children, couples and families through the issues that arise within relationships. It is my passion to help clients identify what is missing or not working, and move towards a greater satisfaction."

"We base our evaluations on the individual. A specific diagnosis along with treatment recommendations is offered. Encountering issues with alcohol or other drugs does not necessarily warrant a diagnosis for chemical dependency. While in the process of recovery we help you determine your life goals and ambitions. It is easy to get "clean and sober" and it is difficult to stay "clean and sober". That's why you can count on us to walk with you on the journey of maintaining a life of sobriety and freedom."

"Life is hard! And stressful! Sometimes an extra support person is necessary. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with teens, couples, individuals and families in a variety of life situations. Most commonly, I support people and families in managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, self esteem, communication, family conflict and major life transitions. "

"I am not currently accepting new clients at this time (January 2018)."

"I meet clients where they are at in their personal process: your needs guide the counseling session. My depth of experience and explorations underpin my work as a clinician. My goal is for you to feel heard and understood, which allows you to make positive lasting changes. Conditions treated with success in working with younger to older adults include life dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, grief, social isolation, relationship concerns, panic attacks, compulsive and addictive behaviors, and identity struggles. As well, I have additional training in treating women and their families impacted by postpartum depression."

"I was an elementary teacher for 7 years before getting my master's degree in marriage and family counseling. I've been in private practice for 8 years as well as being a school counselor. In addition, I've taught Love and Logic parenting classes for the last 8 years. I work with individuals, couples or families and work well with children, too."

"Depression, anxiety, conflict, betrayal and relationship issues impact all areas of our lives and can be addressed in a respectful and straight forward manner. I believe that counseling needs to meet you where you are so I am comfortable with using individual, couple or family therapy depending on what is most likely to be effective. I pledge to do my very best to help you and your family reach a new level of health."

"** I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS UNTIL JAN 2019. ** Everyone struggles at some point in their life. Sometimes we are able to handle life's difficulties on our own and sometimes we could use the help of a professional to conquer our dilemmas. I am honored to help people through those rough patches, and at all times guide them in a nonjudgmental, confidential, caring way. I do not take a 'one size fits all' approach to counseling. I will work with my clients to establish goals and how we will work towards that growth."

"I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been credentialed by Washington State as a Child Mental Health Specialist and a Mental Health Professional. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, individuals and couples. My priority is to create space for my clients to feel safe and supported with whatever challenges they are currently facing. I have advanced training in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and emotion focused couples therapy. I have worked in a community mental health setting and correctional facilities dealing with co-morbid disorders."

"**I am currently not accepting any new clients.** I have experience working with children, teens, adults, individuals, couples, and families. I enjoy the work that I do and have a passion for helping people work through barriers that are making it difficult for them to live the life they want to live. I have the honor of working with clients who are struggling with a wide array of issues such as communication, parenting, trust, sexual intimacy, depression, sexual identity, gender identity, to name a few."

"At some point we face problems in our lives. My approach in therapy is personalized to help you meet your specific needs and goals. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been credentialed as a Mental Health Professional and Child Mental Health Specialist in the State of Washington. I offer individual counseling services to children, teens, adults, as well as families. Together we can collaborate to make steps towards meaningful changes in your life.

"Welcome... Are you struggling with something in your life or relationships? I believe that each individual has great potential for happy, healthy relationships, and for satisfaction in life. Therapy offers a collaborative, safe, and healing opportunity to achieve this happiness and satisfaction. I work with youth, adults, and couples. We work on: trauma recovery, loss/grief, premarital preparation, marriage, womens' issues, family, anxiety/depression, sex/intimacy, transitions, relationship issues, parenting, divorce recovery, single parenting, blending families, & general life challenges. Seeking therapy is a great step toward growth, healing, and hope. Congratulations on starting the journey to lasting change and happiness!"

"People see counselors for many different reasons. Some folks have mental health struggles such as anxiety or depression and therefore come to therapy for treatment and help. Others come to therapy for other life problems such as relationship problems, stressful work environments, worries about their future or their kids, struggles with their faith and spirituality, or grief and loss, etc. Counseling is an investment in the betterment of your life."

"Sometimes life throws us challenges that we struggle to handle. Sometimes friends and family are able to help. However, there are times when we need additional help. In therapy, we will work together to help you find your strengths to work through the challenges you are facing, that might seem too overwhelming to handle. I use a variety of therapeutic methods to help find the one that best fits you and your needs. Working together, we can help you find a healthier path."

"Seeking therapy is a brave and vulnerable step. My specialty is counseling women who are strong, but feel weighed down by trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and self worth. Perhaps you are searching here because something feels broken in your life: relationships are disconnected, a story haunts you from the past, or emotions are overwhelming. Perhaps you are running from some hidden grief or rejection, and you feel restless or wounded as a result. I can help. You are not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck. Through sessions together you will learn compassion for yourself, which empowers healthier relationships."

"Relationships are key to the individual human experience. I believe that it is no coincidence that when we find ourselves struggling in relationships, it has a profound effect on our individual emotional well being, just as experiencing a challenging life event can lead to difficulties in our close relationships. My practice specializes in therapy for individuals, couples, and families who are seeking to strengthen their current relationships following recent conflict, a difficult life event, individual or family trauma, or any other disruptive experiences. I am also currently accepting therapist trainees (post graduate) in need of clinical supervision."

"You're probably wondering if therapy can help. You may be feeling unsure how to label what you are going through and don't know yet what you want to get out of therapy. Even if you are unsure about what your goals are, you do know that some of what is going on right now isn't working and you are thinking about getting help. Feel free to call or email to start a conversation to see if we might be a good fit for working together so that you can get closer to being yourself and feeing happier."

"Working collaboratively, we will start the process of moving towards the change you would like to see in your life. My primary goal as a therapist is for you to feel safe and understood during therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, parenting challenges or simply feel lost, we can work together to bring peace and stability back to your life."

""Life can be complicated. With over 25 years of experience as a therapist, I take a person centered, collaborative and goal-oriented approach to therapy. While psychological, emotional, and behavioral issues usually have complicated causes, we are empowered to learn various resiliency or effective coping skills when facing the life challenges. Allow me to help you refine, tune, and learn skills and tools so that you can thrive again in your daily life. The goals of counseling are to support you in becoming more fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, and habits and conjointly develop a set of principled-centered goals for the future."
