Family Therapy in Lacey, WA

We have the inner wisdom needed to reach our highest potential. I work with the whole person, body, mind, spirit, in the context of individual experience, family , and community. Clients may withdraw or use substances as a response to trauma, experiencing addiction, depression or anxiety, as a coping mechanism. Clients are the experts of their own experience, and I facilitate the process of change to meet their needs more effectively. Through collaborative work with varied theoretical approaches, I meet clients where they are, develop goals and work through the process of small steps to make changes that shift the outcomes.

Simply Thrive Psychotherapy, PLLC has a variety of clinicians (psychologists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers and psychiatrist ARNP) who provide high-quality mental health treatment in a warm, comforting environment.

In addition, each clinician has their own specialties that we can offer our clients.

Adults, family , or community, we all go through tough times. Sometimes the hardest thing is to ask for help. Let me help you navigate the challenges of your life. Together we’ll find new ways for you, and your family to handle the issues you’re dealing with now, making you that much stronger to handle whatever comes in the years ahead of you.

Clients that I typically see are facing the routine problems of life. Stress, marital/ family issues, anxiety and problems related to school, work, and everyday living. I work frequently with 1st responders/military. They may have experienced challenges that are unique due to abuse or trauma. In therapy we learn that we have the tools within us to gain perspective and hope, that we can take good care of ourselves and those in our care. Ultimately, the end goal is that we get to a place where therapy may no longer be needed other than an occasional check in.

I am forever inspired by the resilience, innate wisdom, and healing capacity of the individuals, couples, and families with whom I work. My role in the therapy process is to facilitate the achievement of target objectives and to foster insight and skills to improve the experience of living now and into the future. With an educational background in marriage and family therapy , and specialty training in Sex Therapy, Sexuality Education, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (attachment theory), Emotion Freedom Technique, and Eden Energy Medicine, I work across cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and energetic dimensions to achieve solid, long-term results.

Attachment breaks. Trauma. Depression. Anxiety. Well done on the first step in a journey toward wellness. The most important aspect of therapy is finding a person who makes you feel safe and heard. Developmental trauma (experiences as we grow, including our family of origin) shapes how we see the world, sometimes unsafe and challenging to navigate. Our attachments are the foundations in which we trust or find conflict. Developmental trauma may manifest in the body as anxiety, stress, distress, relationship difficulties, depression and more. There is healing to be found here, to be understood and nourished.

I approach counseling as a collaborative alliance between client and therapist. I aim to assist clients in better understanding themselves in the context of their family histories and current relationships. Moreover, it is important to address the contribution of ones' cultural background, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, experiences of oppression, family history, socioeconomic status, and professional culture (e.g.: tech sector and social media). Once this has been achieved, I help clients make substantive changes and work to remove negative patterns.

We all experience challenges throughout our lives. My person-centered approach gives you the opportunity to discuss what is meaningful to you. I support adults who wish to build confidence, renew self-esteem, and develop the practical skills and resources necessary to heal from the pain of traumatic and adverse life experiences. My fourteen years of experience supporting people who are challenged by health issues, family issues, and grief and loss has given me a wealth of diverse knowledge. I help people find relief and heal from anxiety, depression, phobias and negative core beliefs.

The therapeutic relationship should empower the individual to regain ownership of their life, shifting negative self-talk and other impacts of trauma; allowing for holistic healing and growth. It is my hope to actively walk alongside my client as they work to create their peace; ultimately gaining an improvement in positive self-awareness and optimism, with a side of lasting security and emotional health.
