Anxiety Therapists in Skagit County, WA

I believe people want to be heard, seen and validated. It can be challenging to find your voice and identity. Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Addiction just add to that weight, fueling avoidance and hopelessness. Trying to navigate all of this alone may feel overwhelming and impossible. You don’t have to go it alone. I would be elated to help! I am accepting new clients for in person therapy and tele-health. I work with teens and adults of all ages.

The name of my business, Resilient Roots Counseling, captures the essence of my therapeutic philosophy. I believe we set down roots as we journey through life. Sometimes we grow abundantly through rich, fertile soil. Other times we must grow despite rocky, unproductive dirt. In these times, we can find healthy ways to cope and learn to be resilient. As a therapist, I will come alongside you as you work through your challenges, whether it be past or present. I will listen with empathy and compassion and provide tools to help you on your journey. I will encourage you to discover your authentic self and find ways to thrive.

I became a therapist because I saw the importance of sharing our stories without fear of judgment. It’s because of this understanding that I strive to create a space for you to feel safe to be your true self no matter where you are in your mental health journey. When working together, we will focus on your individual needs and goals–these could include anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, or trauma just to name a few. Overall, my goal is to provide support in whatever area you're seeking therapy for.

What brought you to this point today? Maybe you yelled at your kids or snapped at your husband. Are you crying often, not sleeping well, and on edge? Do you have panic attacks and intrusive thoughts that limit what you can do? Life is full of changes: a new baby, a recent move, a job change, or a relationship lost. Adjusting to change is hard. You are doing your best to hold it all together, but you know now is the time to reach out; I can help. There is HOPE for a life with greater PEACE without constant worries, ruminations, or intrusive thoughts.

Hey there! If you’ve found your way here, chances are high that you’ve spent at least part of your life stuck in struggle. Feeling like you have to constantly push through just to make it through your day and feeling powerless over it all. I get it.

Currently Accepting New Clients. At certain points in life you will be presented with challenges that temporally overwhelm your ability to cope. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic distress and other emotional and interpersonal problems are common responses to being overwhelmed.

I am a mental health counselor and I specialize in trauma, depression and anxiety, incorporating CBT, Narrative Therapy, and art. I am a trauma-informed therapist. I know the word trauma is both scary and popular right now. My graduate degree was pointed towards PTSD and that's the space I like to work in. This doesn't mean that other mental health issues cannot be addressed during our work together. I like to get a detailed history of one's life, to include childhood and relationships history, past and current coping skills, some of which might have become more detrimental than helpful.

Deciding to come to counseling is a first step toward improving lives. I can help with anxiety, depression, coping skills, communication, and transitions. Talking to someone who can see things from an outside perspective can help you determine how to improve what is not working in your life, set goals, and learn new skills which will move you toward that goal.

Opening 1 additional Day of appointments - 9 openings available beginning in October. With grace, and humor, we'll work with you to address challenges impacting your health, happiness, and relationships with others. It's our philosophy that whatever affects our emotional health (isolation, depression, anxiety, trauma) will affect our physical well-being (appetite, sleep, weight gain). Not too many people enjoy change and these past few years have been nothing but a roller coaster! I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and understand how you're doing. How have you been affected by changes? Is BreakThrough! right for you?

In order to be effective, therapy has to be reality based. Yes, we have a brain, but we are more than a brain. We are more than a body; we're more than our trauma. We are complex, multi level souls. Parts of our psyche get stuck, stranded through trauma or neglect and our individuality languishes. So we adapt. These adaptations become obstacles to living rich and full lives; instead we're anxious, depressed, conflicted, or hopeless. All is not lost, however, because behind the distress remains the untouched essence of your being longing for liberation. I am here to help free you from the bondage of your past.

I am a depth centered trauma psychotherapist that specializes in healing from trauma, anxieties, and abuse. I utilize somatic, psychoanalytic, Internal Family Systems, and person centered models as we work through all the ways we feel not ok. I specialize in ERP and DBT for anxiety disorders. Together we will explore your life and stories and create space to deepen your connection to your inner world, give meaning to past experiences, transform thinking patterns, calm and quiet the anxieties of your body and mind, and explore new styles of being and relating.

You’re on a unique journey. Your struggle matters. If you are reading this chances are you may be struggling in a particular area of life or with patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating that are no longer serving your deeper intentions. When we are no longer aligned with our deeper intentions, we can start to feel anxious or depressed, or our relationships can suffer. Often outdated modes of coping learned early in life can become counterproductive. When we can increase positive coping, better regulate our emotions, and understand what our emotions are trying to tell us, we have increased success in all areas of life.

Is life a struggle? Are your relationships causing you distress? Do you feel anxious, sad, or angry too much of the time. Do you want help in creating change that is lasting? Often we remain unaware of the limitations we place on ourselves and need a trained outside observer to help us recognize and change behaviors that keep us stuck.Together in therapy we focus on what you need to create a fulfilling life where you can feel connected and present with others and yourself. I will help you claim your happiness and emotional well being.

Do relationships stress you out? Are you lonely, angry, misunderstood, depressed, worried and afraid? Have you lost your sense of purpose and worry that life is hopeless or out of control? Do you doubt the things that you once held sacred? Are you exhausted trying to juggle all of the obligations in your life? Have your friends, family, or coworkers noticed that your struggles are suffocating your capacity for joy? Are you ready to begin the work of making healthy changes and living an abundant life?

I am trained in both EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy, which provide me with excellent tools to help you to discover the deeper meanings of the issues you are currently dealing with. These modalities enable my clients to see the bigger picture and are excellent tools for releasing trauma, desensitizing old pain and triggers and envisioning a new future. Real and lasting change can only happen when you heal the wound at its source, which can sometimes be deep inside the unconscious mind.
