Addiction Therapists in Vancouver, WA

Join me at my online location! I believe in the innate potential each person has to do their best and I feel that each client is the expert in their own life. My role is to guide the natural process of problem solving, increasing client self-awareness, building on client strengths and reconnecting clients to their values, goals, restoring balance in their lives. I work from a client-centered approach that is holistic, solution focused, mindful, and utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach as appropriate. I am passionate about the power of play and nature as catalysts for healing and perspective.

My psychology practice draws upon diverse training, including but not limited to Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic and Depth Psychology, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), somatic psychotherapy, Integrative Restoration Yoga Nidra Meditation (iRest) and nondual contemplative and mindfulness based interventions and practices. Meditation training is a major component of my practice. Free iRest yoga nidra meditation recordings are on my website. I provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in collaboration with Journey Clinical

Feeling disconnected from yourself, friends, family? Experiencing a life transition? Wondering if you can improve sexual intimacy or sexual function? Struggling with depression or anxiety? Have questions about your alcohol or drug use? I can help. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need help sorting out the challenges we face. We all need support and encouragement. In my approach to therapy, I encourage you to think about how you are strong, have dealt with past challenges, and support you in developing new skills and strategies. I believe you hold the wisdom and knowledge to manifest a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Are you out of balance? Not fully present: stuck in the past or dread the future? Do you want to feel comfortable with yourself and live authentically so you enjoy time alone and with others? I can help you move beyond talk therapy and learn to communicate with your timeless, internal wisdom; to integrate your body, heart and soul so you respond rather than react to life situations. Therapies I offer include Somatic Experiencing and EMDR (Eye Movement Densisitization Reprocessing) for trauma healing, depth psychology and dream work to uncover your unconscious strengths to navigate life with purpose and joy.

I am not currently accepting new clients. If you would like to be placed on a waitlist (1 - 3 month's wait), you would want to fill out the new client inquiry form at my clinic's website hmhpdx.com. I practice depth psychology, meaning that one’s whole life story is important when considering present difficulties, struggling relationships, or emotional discord. In knowing how our lives have shaped us, we can bring healing to complicated relational patterns or painful past experiences, and find greater happiness in the here and now.

I help client's heal from trauma and re-establish a relationship with their intuition and learn how to trust themselves again. I help client’s through a deconditioning process to challenge past lessons and messages that no longer serve them so they can realign with their true self. I believe that each person is unique and requires an individual approach to treatment. I use a variety of modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Somatic-based therapies, and parts work such as Internal Family Systems and Ego-State interventions.

Ready to make real progress on feeling in greater control of your mental health and mood symptoms? Committed to living in authenticity? Need a more structured and directive Counseling approach with the goal of implementing stress management, coping skills, and some case management now? But also feeling the need for Therapy to address the underlying, fundamental trauma and losses too? My clients want their treatment to be less clinical, and more alternative, even incorporating the Metaphysical and spiritual to successfully reduce their negative experiences and increase their positive ones.

I am actively accepting new clients. If you are seeking help with trauma, an eating disorder, struggles with food, your body, or anything in between, there are options other than what we have been taught. Our culture and our world often create an environment for people that encourages self denial. A wide variety of traumas often leave people with chronic feelings of fear, trouble with sleep, relationship distress, and dependence on something that might harm them.
