Bisexual Therapists in Camas, WA

Many times in life we find ourselves stuck in a phase of this is just how it is right now. Frequently during those phases, the only thing we can do is hang on, keep our heads above water, and wait for life to settle. Once the how it is phase comes to an end, there is commonly a new version of our life that emerges, and there is work to be done. Work that we may have never done before, challenges that seem so great that we have no idea where to begin. Luckily, you do not have to do this alone.

Hi, I am so glad you are here. It goes without saying, but it is clear in your search for a therapist that something in your life is just not working. When life stressors or trauma happens, it can feel like the whole world is falling apart. Even the act of asking for help can be overwhelming, just another task added to a plate that is already over-full. I trust that you are the expert in your story, and you know what you need in order to help move on from the stuck places in your life. I want to partner with you to find new ways out of those places, and give you the ability to face challenges with renewed hope and a fresh outlook.

On the surface, you have everything under control - yet you carry an iceberg's worth of emotion underneath. It's difficult to give space to your feelings and thoughts, or to communicate them to others. You're stuck in unhelpful patterns, but change feels threatening.

You feel lonely, and you long to be seen - but the vulnerability that would require seems impossible. I can help you understand yourself and your experiences, get out of your comfort zone, and tap into joy.
