Therapists in Vancouver, WA
There are times in life when we feel pushed to the breaking point. Whether this is professionally, relationally, physically, or spiritually, we’re not meant to do life alone. As humans, we don’t know how to do what we haven’t been taught—including relating to ourselves with compassion and care. I believe our life stories inform our present and future, and I’m passionate about walking with clients as they explore how their story has formed their emotional and relational patterns. Counseling isn’t just about gaining insight, but rather, learning how to relate to yourself and others with compassion, flexibility, and intention.

Many of the clients I connect with are teens or adults who feel weighed down by past trauma, difficult relationships, or struggles with self-esteem and emotion regulation. They may feel stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by anxiety and want support in finding healthier ways to cope and move forward.

Sometimes in life we may feel “stuck” and unsure how to move, overwhelmed, or alone. We may experience depression or anxiety, go through an experience that leaves us shaken, or hit the end of our rope and burnout. For some of us, we reach a place in life where we lose touch with ourselves or perhaps even come to a crossroads where we have a drastic shift in our understanding of the world and question all that we have known. It is in these times where we may be looking for extra support and need a calm, compassionate space to be seen…

You may feel exhausted from constantly managing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, people-pleasing, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Maybe relationships feel complicated, your inner critic is relentless, or your body never fully feels safe, even when your mind knows you should be. Trauma can shape the way we see ourselves, connect with others, and move through the world long after difficult experiences have passed.
Therapy should feel like a place where you do not have to perform, explain away your pain, or fear judgment. I strive to create a warm, steady, and compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome.

My passion is helping people achieve personal growth. Life throws at us a series of curveballs. At times we feel stuck and unsure how to make it to the other side of these challenges whether they are due to a life change such as marriage, divorce, new career, trauma, grief and loss or a host of other difficulties. With over 25 years in the counseling field, I have learned that people are individuals who do not fit into one mold. I employee a variety of techniques and approaches to fit your individual needs. Change starts within the therapeutic relationship. Compassion, humor and warmth assist in creating this relationship.

The opening of Dante's Inferno reads "Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost." This story of a person's journey through hell became a classic because all of us have found, at one time or another, that the straight path in our lives has been lost, and that we are alone in a dark forest. Do you feel lost? When we look a little closer, we begin to understand that most of the darkness around us is self-created. That forest was cultivated with the seeds of our past experience.
