Therapists in Wenatchee, WA

We often experience seasons where we struggle to find hope - hope in relationship, hope through depression or anxiety, hope beyond current circumstances. Is there hope despite any circumstance? We long for a change. We long for someone to hear our hearts, our stories, our circumstances and say “yes, there is hope.” My goal is to help renew that hope in you. I want to walk alongside you, look at all that you are facing and overwhelmed with, and find that spark of hope and foster it.

As a counselor with more than twenty years experience in both clinical and private practice settings, my goal is to provide you with a safe, comfortable and secure environment where, together, we will identify your counseling needs.

I use a variety of therapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, relational, coping skill building, and anxiety reduction.

There are seasons for renewal, change and healing. Seeking therapy is a brave and vulnerable step. My specialty is counseling children, teens, and adults who are strong, but feel weighed down by trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and self worth. Perhaps you are searching because something feels broken in your life: relationships are disconnected, or an event haunts you from the past, or your emotions are overwhelming. Perhaps you are plagued by hidden grief or rejection, and you feel restless or wounded as a result. You are not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck.

We all deserve respect, care, and acceptance. I have a passion for helping people navigate the difficult transitions that can occur in life due to a change in health or other circumstances. I believe that we all do our best given the resources and situation provided, and that a change in perspective or new tool can make all the difference. Besides primarily using a cognitive behavioral therapy framework to address unconscious processes, I have broad experience incorporating existential, spiritual, and meaning based approaches in pursuing growth.

Therapy is a place to take a deep breath and explore what makes you you. It’s a place to get more deeply connected with yourself through processing past and present feelings and experiences. I work best with motivated individuals who are ready to find more authentic ways of showing up in this world. Through consistent therapy, it is my belief that you and I can identify unwanted behaviors and patterns in your life, and learn how to address them with kindness and compassion. By embracing your personal story without judgement or contempt, therapy will invite you toward deeper healing and wholeness.

Waitlist available for new clients- During times of stress, I have found that being listened to and understood by a trained professional has been invaluable.

Maybe you're finding it hard to "leave work at work" and be present at home. Or you realize the things you've been working towards leave you feeling sort of empty and you want to make some changes.
