Molina Healthcare Therapists in Freeland, WA

There are moments in our lives when we know we're done; done with a job, a relationship, a belief system, a way of life. At these moments, there is a choice to be made - retreat and play it safe, or move forward into a new way of being? I am a woman who has chosen to be an "Edge Walker," an "Artist/Healer;" giving full expression to the "Wild Gypsy Woman" within me. If you are at a "done" moment in your life, and feel ready to break free of the chains that bind you, call me.

Therapy is something you have probably contemplated for awhile. It takes a lot of courage to work on tough issues that are making your life less fulfilling than you have envisioned. People seek counseling for different reasons. It can be something from your past that you feel it is time to work on or help finding your direction and motivation to reach your goals. I work with you to overcome whatever blocks are in the way of living the life you want to live.The important thing is to bring more joy into your life.

I have 26 years experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have also acted as a Clinical Director in educational institutions and in corporate settings, supervising other therapists.

Ultimately, addiction is a distraction from life's meaning and purpose. My primary focus is seeing my client connect to their own meaning and purpose--not only in recovery but life generally. Through these re-connections one can forge a prolonged and stable sense of progress that paves the way toward whatever goal is on the horizon. I do not believe I am in the business of ‘fixing’ anyone, instead supporting people as they realize their own potential to overcome whatever challenges are preventing them from living the life they deserve.

Clients primarily request services with me to work on communication between partners and other members of their family systems. I am contracted to work in the capacity as an LMHC with Summit Health Management in Gig Harbor. Please contact (253) 858-7056 to schedule an intake.

I'm glad you are looking into counseling, it can take awhile to find the right therapist but its worth it. Are you struggling to balance your responsibilities and still find joy? Are depression, anxiety, the past, and or the future all getting in the way of you living the life you want in this present moment? Otherwise know as the human condition. We all have times when we need to explore and shift patterns and perspectives, and therapy is a great way to make these changes.
