Therapists in Colville, WA

My practice motto is: “In order for growth to take place, we must get comfortable with being uncomfortable”. We have to uncover one’s challenges to fully grow as a person to live life to its fullest. I have a passion for helping others in all walks of life. Everyone deserves to be met where they are when they come to therapy. I enjoy helping individuals, young adults, children, and families find healing, growth, and wholeness as they navigate through the challenging issues of their lives.

Are you finding it tough to stay in relationships that make you unhappy? Do you often think more about what others need than what you need? Do you rely on friends or family to boost your self-esteem? Does the idea of relationships ending make you really scared? Do you feel really down about yourself, like you're not good enough? Do you have lots of arguments in your relationships? When you're upset, do you tend to withdraw from others? Is it a challenge for you to trust people or feel close to them?

Life can be beautiful, challenging, inspiring, overwhelming, everything in between. Through life’s challenges, I believe there are opportunities for growth and healing through self-compassion, flexibility, and courage. As a counselor, I strive to step in and walk with you, wherever you are in your journey. Just as life is unique to the individual, the counseling journey is also personal to you. believe through exploring past patterns and creating flexibility to lean into the discomfort. Together we can dismantle disenfranchising stories and replace them with new and empowering stories that are aligned with your personal values.

I have had the privilege of working in community mental health since 2016 and have most enjoyed being able to meet with and take the journey with clients from many diverse backgrounds, facing various mental health challenges. Most humans want and need to be understood without the fear of judgment in order to thrive and create positive change. I am able to help meet the needs of those facing trauma, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, ADHD, relationship challenges and phase of life challenges.

I work with individuals and families from an attachment perspective. I have worked extensively with children ages three and up in individual and family therapy, utilizing play, art and talk therapies to help individuals handle challenging situations at home and/or school, or within their own internal world. I can help children build resilience, self-reliance, and their self-regulatory skills. I work with parents, helping them to better meet their children's needs while fostering a better relationship. I work with adults on the myriad of life transitions they are working through, helping them better cope with their everyday stresses.

Whether it is depression, anxiety, addictions, past traumas, loss, relationship difficulties, personality patterns, or other concerns, we often need help overcoming the trials we face. One of my goals as your counselor is to help you gain insight into possible reasons for your troubling patterns, feelings, and relational struggles. In our sessions I will provide the spiritual, psychological, relational, and neurological tools needed to help you get unstuck and live a life that is filled with more freedom, peace, joy, and love that can last a lifetime, with God's help.

I enjoy working with individual children and adults who may be experiencing some sort of challenge in their life. These challenges may be related to anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, relationship difficulties, self-identity as well as many other life difficulties. Whatever your life challenge may be, I work to create a warm, open and safe environment to help you work through it. Counseling is a collaborative process that is built on the foundation of the client-counselor relationship, which is something that I work hard to build from the first session.
