Therapists in Centralia, WA

I have experience working with Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions. Life can get heavy and it can feel like there is no way through. I am here to help you along the path that you choose is best for your needs.

Maybe you tried therapy and it didn't help. Maybe you're hesitant to try it for the first time. Whatever the case, allow me the opportunity to change your mind! In the 5 years I've been in practice, I've had wonderful feedback from my clients. I view each person who walks through the door as a unique individual who needs customized treatment. I treat everyone with respect and kindness. My goal is to get to know and understand YOU, and walk alongside you in the journey of self discovery. Whether you need someone to listen and care, you're looking for new tools and practical solutions - or you're seeking healing - I can help!

Not sure what to do? Feeling desperate and hopeless? Struggling with letting go of the past? Having difficulty adjusting to postpandemic life? Don't know what to do about your child's out of control behaviors? We all come to a point in our lives when things seem unbearable. Sometimes we need a little help for a short amount of time, and sometimes we need a huge assist for an indefinite amount of time. We can then begin to gain the confidence and stability to live life, not simply survive this world. I pull from many therapeutic modalities to meet people where they are in their therapeutic journey.

I'm here to offer a safe, comfortable, accepting environment to process your goals, needs, and challenges. I affirm and celebrate everyone's identity and values. Your goals are the ones that matter in therapy. I want you to be comfortable while connecting with someone who authentically cares about you. I believe we are all doing the best we can. Whether age 2, age 102, or anywhere in between, I am here to support you. I love working with children, teens, and adults both on and off the autism spectrum. I have also worked as a grief counselor with Hospice, and walked beside many people as they travel through the grief process.

We all possess the capacity to heal and thrive through the processes of self exploration and discovery. Whether you are experiencing the repercussions of trauma, navigating identity, needing assistance with balancing mood and resolving anxieties, or establishing a sense of meaning in life, we work together to determine your needs and desires and develop a plan for meeting those.

With years experience; as a Mental Health professional, I work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples and families on a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, marital and family issues, sexual addictions, grief counseling, child development, parenting skills, and spiritual concerns.

All are welcome at Abundance Family Therapy! Everyone has times that seem too hard to bear. Life can seem pretty heavy at times, and we just need our load lightened. Sometimes the heaviness comes from feelings of anxiety, depression, life transitions, loneliness, spiritual challenges, communication issues or even relationship fractures. If you find yourself feeling the weight of these things or perhaps other things in your life, please come on in and let me help lighten your load. Although experiencing these feelings or situations remind us, we are human, it is the overcoming that brings peace and growth.

Welcome! We are all emotional and relational beings so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships and are ongoing throughout our lives. Experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, struggling with communication issues, moving through discouragement, and unmet expectations in yourself and/or loved ones, is not a sign of failure or weakness. These experiences simply remind us we are human and provide opportunities for growth. The choice to do something different is yours. I welcome the walk with you on your journey of hope and transformation.

I provide treatment for: Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobia, Social Anxiety, Relationship Problems, Parent-Teenager Conflicts, Problems with Suicidal and/or Self-Injury Behavior and Sexual Impulse Control Issues.

If you're looking here, then things are going quite right are they? Well these things happen to all of us from time to time and we all can benefit from a little help. If you're willing to come meet with me, I will sit with you and work to find ways to make life a little bit better. Together we can work towards the understanding, growth and healing that you desire.

I offer therapy to relieve anxiety and depression and discover the underlying causes. I also specialize in trauma and PTSD. If you've seen other therapists without results, it may be because you've only participated in talk or cognitive therapy. I've found that deeply ingrained beliefs and coping mechanisms that develop when we're young are often responsible for dysfunction or repeated negative emotions later in life. I offer therapy to help you discover the reasons for triggers and patterns of behavior and how to change them. Unfortunately, I do not take insurance.

The world can be a scary place. Things can happen to us where the scars are not visible to the world. These scars can show up as depression, anxiety, anger, and even thoughts of suicide. In our sessions together, we will work together to find relief from these scars. I want to provide a safe space where you can tell your story and be heard. I am specialized to work with trauma, depression, anxiety, and feelings of intense anger. I incorporate Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT), Attachment, and LIfespan Integration (for trauma).

Are you interested in living an authentic life and being true to the visions and callings of your heart? Sometimes that's not easy when unhealthy learned patterns and/or limiting or negative beliefs get in the way. Our work together can be a catalyst which calls out your inner strengths and resources providing the ultimate guidance to experiencing more happiness and contentment. Life doesn't move in a straight line, instead the path twists and turns providing obstacles and hurdles. It's these challenges that present a doorway to living a more authentic life.

In my practice, I see children, adolescents and adults of all ages who may be experiencing difficulties within themselves or in their relationships with others or may be seeking a journey or self-growth and change. My style is based on the belief that in order to best assist my clients in reaching their goals during the psychotherapeutic process, I need to know when to listen attentively, when to offer practical advice and when to bring attention to deeper internal conflicts that may cause suffering.

Are you anxious? Depressed? Have you just had a baby? Or are you trying to have one? Is your child several years old and you're questioning where you went? I am committed to working with you to create a life where you are at the center.

You are a BIPOC woman who is has mapped out a lot of life's landmines and who has become really good at navigating them. However, this has come at a cost. You are wearing too many hats and you have to calculate just the right amount of XYZ (assertiveness, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, friendliness, etc.) that will help you achieve today's goals. Somewhere along the line, you've lost touch with the core of YOU. Let's regain that needed clarity and direction so that you again have a vision of where you're going... and why. E-Coaching allows us to communicate throughout the week so that you have someone on your side.
