Therapists in Toppenish, WA

Life challenges all of us. At times we need support in recovering from our experiences and learning new skills to move into our future with hope and confidence. I offer counseling for children, adolescents, and adults individually or as families. I have experience working with grief and loss, trauma and abuse recovery, divorce recovery, parenting issues, depression and anxiety. I incorporate many different therapeutic techniques but draw more strongly from cognitive-behavioral therapy. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

From the outside, your life looks pretty good, but internally it feels pretty empty, and the life you've built for yourself does not give you the satisfaction you want. It feels like each day passes by, and you're not feeling fulfilled and satisfied. You know there must be something more for you. You want joy in your life. You want to be free of not feeling good or valuable enough, so that you can truly become the person you want to be. I believe that therapy isn't about a diagnosis. I believe therapy is for people who want more out of life and who are ready to move beyond the past to truly understand their value and worth.

Have the challenges in life become overwhelming? Are you looking for helpful support for making positive changes? Do you need someone who will listen and allow you to process your own thoughts and feelings without judgement? Begin a healing journey with me through counseling. Many difficulties are effectively addressed with counseling, including depression, grief, anxiety, trauma, communication skills, decision making, and relationships with others. I will tailor my approach to help you meet your goals, in your own time, on your terms, with a caring, non-judgmental, and practical approach, in a safe and confidential environment.

My passion is to help survivors of trauma, challenging life experiences and grief events become unstuck and break the cycle of emotional pain. Often these difficult situations from the past have led to an inability to move forward in life, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and PTSD. Sometimes they lead to questioning your own faith and purpose in life. If you're feeling lost, hurt and emotionally overwhelmed and if you're looking to heal from the past so you can move forward into a brighter future, I'd love to come along side of you on your journey.

Many couples want to communicate better, and at the core, partners want to feel emotionally connected to each other. Oftentimes, the negative interaction cycles of blame-withdraw, attack-defend, demand-withdraw are actually indicators of emotional disconnection between partners. By identifying the cycle, couples can become more open to and engaged, can create new emotionally attuned connections, and can revitalize their relationship. Attention to the couples sexual relationship is interwoven throughout the couples therapy. Visit my website to connect with me more.

Your life deserves attention, compassion, and understanding. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents ages 17 and older. Although I am trained to work with a variety of concerns, I specialize in eating disorders, disordered eating, and negative body image. I honor each client's individuality when it comes to treatment needs. Your relationship with food and body, as well as your relationship with mental health, is nuanced, historical, and contextual.

I'm naturally interested in how people experience their lives and how they achieve self fulfilment and secure happy family and personal relationships. What I do is help people realize their goals by finding out what they want and need out of life, and then work with them to solve the parts of their lives that cause them frustration or pain. My approach helps individuals and couples problem solve and identify what is blocking them from creating a great relationship or what is stopping them from moving on with their lives after a crisis, loss or divorce.

I have found that people are doing the best they can with the knowledge and skills they have in the moment. We can learn to develop new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that improve their quality of life. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, cognitive processing therapy, conflict resolution and problem-solving, dialectical behavior therapy, family systems therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma focused therapy, and communication skills development. The intervention utilized in therapy is adapted to each individual client and their goals for therapy.

I have been a counselor for 15 years. I strive to create a safe environment in which the client is able to explore and identify areas of their life that have been problematic. It is important to me to get to know my clients and meet them on a moment-to-moment basis and help by entering their world. My approach focuses on the person and assists in the growth process.

I firmly believe that within every individual lies a wellspring of potential waiting to be tapped. I guide my clients to explore their past successes and moments of fulfillment, cultivating a sense of gratitude and optimism about the future. I emphasize the identification and celebration of client strengths. Each person possesses unique talents and capabilities that, when recognized and nurtured, become powerful catalysts for growth and transformation. By working collaboratively, we develop actionable strategies that leverage these strengths to overcome obstacles and achieve personal aspirations.

Services come from a clinician who is passionate about helping individuals and families grow. I have a deep understanding and compassion for the struggle of the family unit and the impact individual experiences have on those they live, work, and connect with. I use several theoretical approaches in a supportive and collaborative session using tools such as cognitive- behavior therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy and attachment theory.
