Anxiety Therapists in Cashmere, WA

I work with individuals, couples and families. With my family systems approach, each person plays an integral role to the health of the whole system/family. My work with struggling couples is to foster hope when it has been lost. I collaborate with parents, their children and teens to address and resolve behavioral issues and developmental challenges. If you struggle with anxiety, grief or depression, I will work alongside of you in a non-judgmental fashion to explore issues and apply new skills to help you overcome the challenges you are facing. I have 14 plus years of experience.

Suffering from mental and emotional problems can cause you to feel hopeless and defeated. You may believe recovery is not possible and that you're destined to live a life of misery. I am here to tell you that you can heal and be happy instead of sad and anxious. I help individuals who suffer from trauma, anxiety disorders and OCD. I also work well with individuals who struggle to regulate their emotions or participate in self-destructive behaviors. In therapy we work together on understanding how your thoughts, belief systems, and feelings play a role in your life.

I serve adults and adolescents, age 13 and up who dealing with anxiety, burn out, or depression; who have experienced trauma and need help processing it; or who are struggling with their purpose and the direction of their life. I provide a compassionate, listening ear as I work with clients to build the skills they need to feel better and take action so that they can move toward a meaningful and more satisfying life.

Sometimes it can feel alarming to realize our anxiety, depression or trauma is not just in our heads, but in our bodies as well. We might try to change the way we are thinking, but we still don't feel at home in our own skin. We can start to feel afraid that nothing will ever change. As a somatic (body-centered) psychotherapist trained in trauma across the lifespan, it is my honor to support clients in discovering that much more is possible than at first imagined. I enjoy helping clients identify what is right and natural about themselves, and to heal through their own fully-trustworthy inner wisdom.

As we enter the later stages of our lives or struggle with complex medical issues, we can face some difficult issues. Life, as we have known it, can change in difficult ways. We may be experiencing losses including independence, loved ones, financial insecurity and other challenges. You may feel overwhelmed and isolated in your struggles. Sadness, anxiety and despair can set in. You are not alone! I help to navigate the hardships and focus on renewing hope, purpose and joy. I work with you to feel heard and understood. We will find solutions together and work to restore your quality of life.

This world is hard, amirite? The uncertainty wrapped up in the day to day surrounding our world is overwhelming. Add in the pressures of our media, and it’s no wonder there’s a mental health service shortage in our country. If you’re feeling like there’s more to all of this; that you want– need– to find a way to fight and overcome what’s holding you back: Welcome, you have an ally. As your therapist, I'm ready to help you find your personal power and path forward in an accepting, compassionate environment. Whatever your goals, we can approach them in an empowering, fun, and supportive manner.

We often experience seasons where we struggle to find hope - hope in relationship, hope through depression or anxiety, hope beyond current circumstances. Is there hope despite any circumstance? We long for a change. We long for someone to hear our hearts, our stories, our circumstances and say “yes, there is hope.” My goal is to help renew that hope in you. I want to walk alongside you, look at all that you are facing and overwhelmed with, and find that spark of hope and foster it.

I have worked in range of areas including the following: I have worked at non-profits helping disenfranchised youth gain employment skills through urban farming, and I have worked at the Seattle’s community colleges eradicating barriers to assist adults to obtain an education and career. I have worked for five years as a Case Manager in Addiction Recovery leading life skill groups and completing assessments to help addicts heal from their addiction. I have worked with helping attachment between mothers and their children. I have volunteered at a suicide hotline to deescalate mentally ill and suicidal people and keep them safe.
