Teletherapy for Wenatchee, WA

Rising Hope Counseling does not accept insurance, only cash and debit/credit card. Are you feeling stuck, bogged down, and/or out of sorts? If you want to replace fear and hopelessness, with faith in a brighter future than counseling is for you. Counseling is a partnership where we build a safe environment for examining the past and its impact on us today. Through examination we can identify false beliefs, gain clarity on our true identity, and rewrite the broken records whirling around in our soul. Let's build a stronger foundation for your emotional health.

My mission is to provide inclusive therapy to folks through a trauma-informed, anti-white supremacy, queer-affirming, non-pathologizing, and strengths-based lens. I bring a feminist-infused perspective to my psychotherapy practice, which centers on non-judgmental listening, collaborative discourse, and behaviorally specific interventions.

Are you stuggling in your relationships or feeling out of control and overwhelmed? Mental and emotional issues can be debilitating and hinder you from reaching your goals and keep you from becoming who you want to be. My desire is to help you overcome current or past issues that keep you from becoming the best version of yourself.

We all experience difficult times in our lives when we need extra support such as experiencing debilitating grief after a loss. I am committed to helping my clients learn how to build a healthier more fulfilling life. My integrative therapeutic approach supports my clients through their difficult times by guiding them with the use of evidence based therapy tools (CBT, IPT, mindfulness practices, and others) individualized to their healing journey. I believe in working together in a collaborative approach to help my clients reach their goals. It is an honor to help others realize that life can be beautiful again.

I know how it feels to be overwhelmed & burnt-out and lonely. When the ways you’re coping with life begin to take a toll on you, your work, and the ones you care about, you might get desperate enough to Google, “Counseling near me” and start looking for someone who might help you.

YES, Life Can Be Different! I know that you want to live a better life! The problem is that what you need can look very different from what others need.

Maybe, your business growth has plateaued, or your team has stagnated, and you are searching for help to change. Whatever your path, I believe that life can be different!

You are just not the same anymore after it happened. You now struggle to sleep, find connection with others, or ultimately experience joy in your life. You are stressed and you wish you could stop thinking about the event(s) but somehow you cannot turn your thoughts away. Perhaps you find yourself avoiding certain topics, places, or people because they remind you too much of what happened. You long to be the person you once were and to have the life you once had. You are tired, worn out, and you need to somehow find a way forward in your life.

I believe that counseling is sacred work, and that many of the issues we face stem from unmet relational needs. While relationships can be a source of pain, they are also a powerful force for resiliency. Through the therapeutic relationship, I enjoy coming alongside clients on their journey by providing a safe and compassionate space for exploration. Together we will go beyond just symptom management and work toward understanding the root of what you are experiencing. Whatever you are facing, you were never meant to do so in isolation.
