Couples Counseling Therapists in Camas, WA

When life throws you a curveball, even if it's an expected curve, it can take your feet right out from under you. It is my hope in counseling to help you find your footing again. To help you discover the strengths you didn't know or may have forgotten, you have within you. I work with individuals, couples , and families to find hope when you are knocked off your feet by some curves like interpersonal relationship distress, infidelity, empty nest, chapter of life changes, worry, work stress, and parent/adult relationships. Needing to remember who you were created to be? Reach out. Let's talk. (check spam for my email replies, please)

Have you been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or out of control lately? Is there a voice in your head telling you you are not good enough and can’t handle what life has to bring?

I believe in everyone’s ability to heal themselves and would love to partner with you on your journey of self discovery.

Part of being a human and living means we face pain. Sometimes the pain is so difficult, longstanding, early or layered that we develop behavioral patterns or beliefs about ourselves or others that allow us to survive, but we become stuck in. Often something in our present life invites us back to the pain that we missed. Symptoms like depression and anxiety, burnout, anger, emptiness, or numbness can point us back to places that need healing. Through tending to our pain by hearing the story our bodies, symptoms, or behaviors are telling we can find our way back to ourselves and restore connection, meaning, and hope in our lives.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples , and families experiencing unexpected challenges, trauma, life transitions, complex relationship and family dynamic issues. I'm passionate about the possibility of meaningful change, because I've been on the other side.
