Therapists in Chelan County, WA

Welcome! I strive to enhance and empower holistic well-being where people feel... Appreciated | Connected | Heard | ​Important | Loved | Valued. I provide services to those who are experiencing a variety of challenges that interfere with daily functioning.

My holistic approach integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being. The overall goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. For some, the goal of counseling may be to improve personal, familial, social, and/or community functioning. While for others, the aim is building, self-esteem, reducing anxiety or strengthening coping mechanisms. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to unpack emotional and mental distress while working on grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful automatic thoughts, and processing trauma.

Are feelings of hopelessness, unworthiness, shame, stress, grief, guilt, anxiety or depression stopping you from living the life you desire? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward?

Rising Hope Counseling does not accept insurance, only cash and debit/credit card. Are you feeling stuck, bogged down, and/or out of sorts? If you want to replace fear and hopelessness, with faith in a brighter future than counseling is for you. Counseling is a partnership where we build a safe environment for examining the past and its impact on us today. Through examination we can identify false beliefs, gain clarity on our true identity, and rewrite the broken records whirling around in our soul. Let's build a stronger foundation for your emotional health.

My focus is on the struggling families, providing support and encouragement in reframing the family dynamic, bringing into play the family history and what brought the client to where they are at today; focusing on moving beyond the moment, improving the future. I work primarily with the Department of Developmental Disabilities and custody dispute cases providing Parent Education, Counseling, Anger Management, and Behavioral Support Services for youth.

You have hopeful life expectations that unfortunately sometimes are not met causing deep grief and sorrow. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a traumatic childhood, or life goals it can leave you feeling alone and hopeless. Unmet expectations can cause you to guess your worth making it difficult to make future decisions and build connections with others. You want to feel hopeful and confident in yourself and your future. You want to feel as if you have a purpose through connections with others. My goal is to provide an empathetic, safe, and judgement free space for you to find healing, connection, and hope.

Congratulations on your journey and arrival here!! I am looking forward to working with you, and commend you for beginning the therapeutic process. Our evolution in this journey is not easy, though I hold the conviction that we have access to joy, vitality, and abundance through healing and growth! My specialty is working with those who are feeling stuck due to grief, traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, disconnect from emotions, or maybe feeling overwhelmed with all that life seems to ask of you. I am here to help you uncover and activate your greatest capacity, potential and emotional state of peace.

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.

Are you looking for redemption? For a way through the pain to a place of emotional growth and spiritual freedom? Perhaps today is the day to seek help and begin the journey back to who you were meant to be....Based on Romans 12:2, my counseling approach is to assist clients with the transformation of inaccurate thoughts, beliefs and self-perceptions. I use a strengths-based model grounded in encouragement and practical feedback. I work together with my clients to identify and activate their talents and unrealized spiritual potential to bring about positive change and emotional healing.

If you are experiencing challenges in your life - relationship problems, job stressors, or going through a life transition that may be causing distress - I can assist you with your change process. With 20 years experience, my belief is that therapeutic change comes about through forming and experiencing a trusting, emotionally safe relationship and in the context of that relationship, increasing ones awareness of self, challenging ones old beliefs, learning new skills, establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others and experiencing and letting go of old pain.

I welcome those who have been abused, either by physical abuse, sexual, or emotional/psychological. I am level 3 trained for Gottman Couples Counseling as well as specializing in treating those with PTSD ( not related to military). I also work with children that have difficulty in navigating through the trauma that they have suffered.

Reaching out for help can feel intimidating sometimes, but it will likely create lasting changes in your life toward a more comfortable and healthful way of being in the world. I am a somatic psychotherapist who works with individuals experiencing emotional, mental, physical, and existential distress. I view well-being as a multi-dimensional holistic concept and approach counseling in that manner. The body, mind, spirit, and emotions are in feedback with each other within the living organism of the human being.

For the past 30 years I have worked as a mental health counselor to assist people who are struggling with depression and anxiety; those who have had their life shaken by a death, divorce or other life losses; those who feel stuck and want to get their life flowing again;those who struggle with obstacles to help attain their goals,those who deal with chronic health conditions;as well as those who are facing major life changes and need an objective,helpful listener.I have also worked with relationships that need understanding, healing and forgiveness.Change is always possible.

There are seasons for renewal, change and healing. Seeking therapy is a brave and vulnerable step. My specialty is counseling children, teens, and adults who are strong, but feel weighed down by trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and self worth. Perhaps you are searching because something feels broken in your life: relationships are disconnected, or an event haunts you from the past, or your emotions are overwhelming. Perhaps you are plagued by hidden grief or rejection, and you feel restless or wounded as a result. You are not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck.
