Grief Therapists in Freeland, WA

People are afraid, overwhelmed and "stuck". So many people are dealing with isolation, family difficulties and financial stress. They need to know how to get through to the other side and that they are not alone in their journey. They need a clinical perspective and help developing a blue print for change. They want to live a life being more connected and more at peace.

*Accepting new clients*- It can be lonely and overwhelming to find ourselves in emotional struggle. The therapeutic relationship is unique and one that I deeply trust. It's instrumental to have a companion and guide as we traverse these unchartered inner landscapes. The pain we feel invites us on a transformative journey from obscurity to clarity. It's so tempting to contract when we are challenged, but it's critical to soften and trust into the process. This movement through our pain rearranges us into an expanded version of ourselves. I bring the qualities of warmth, openness, and curiosity to this transformative work together.

Chances are you're struggling with ADHD symptoms, trying to adapt by masking in a world that isn’t designed for you. You feel that you were born with a “race car brain with bicycle breaks,” with unpredictable motivation & energy. You feel overwhelmed by the smallest tasks & tormented by deep restlessness. But you’re ready to make a change and find fulfillment and meaning despite your limitations: a sense of purpose & direction. You want to learn the skills that will help you organize your thoughts, improve your productivity, and enhance your motivation, and you also want to feel good about yourself and reach your most desired goals.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships!

That conversation can be transformative and healing, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me.

As an interdisciplinary therapist I help individuals and couples understand how institutions of power, their environment, family dynamics, and personal experiences influence the development of identity, shaping relationships, self-esteem, and decision making. I strive to help clients identify their difficulties, obstacles, and the narratives negatively impacting their life. I work with individuals and couples of all identities who are wanting to deepen their understanding of personal complexities, work through the experience of trauma, explore challenges in their relationships, and build a safe space for liberation and empowerment.

As a "seasoned" mental health professional, I can provide a wide variety of counseling services to a diversity of clients. I have found that providing a safe place for individuals and for couples to explore their "true selves" is fundamental. I work with clients to form relationships that become the vehicle to better navigate a complicated world. I believe our earliest relationships often funnel our curiosity and other potentials into a lane that is too narrow and limits our ability to see options.

I have extensive experience working with people of all age groups who feel isolated in their experience of the world. I have worked in multiple different areas of mental health for more than a decade. I am currently finishing my PhD, am a college professor, and am a Washington State Approved Clinical Supervisor for therapists in training.
