I will act as an empathic and nurturing guide walking you through the counseling process at an individualized pace that is comfortable and healing. I believe developing a strong therapeutic relationship is the key component when guiding individuals through this counseling journey.

I have been counseling for over twenty years, and working with people is truly my passion. I work primarily with teens, adults, and couples, with an emphasis in working with first responders . I specialize in self-harm behaviors, eating disorders, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem, and abuse issues. As a Christian counselor I integrate Biblical truths with psychological principles. I believe it is the job of the counselor to provide a safe, supportive, challenging, and collaborative environment for each client that enters the office. I work with many insurance companies as an out-of-network provider only.

As a therapist, I believe in equality between myself and my clients. This means I believe you are the expert in your lived experience and can teach me as much as I teach you. I have expertise that may help you learn and change in your own healing path. Equality also means that I am open to sharing about my life if it is helpful to building your attachment, empathy, understanding, and healing.

My personal approach to counseling is based on my belief of the inherent worth of every human being. I approach everyone I meet with a nonjudgemental mindset and unconditional positive regard. I believe deeply in the need for human beings to connect with one another. I believe that people are resilient, and the human spirit prevails over and over again. I have experience in working with complex trauma, grief, abuse, behavioral issues, family dynamics, and couples’ therapy.

Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences. My clinical focus is through the lens of attachment, that is, how are the bonds we are creating effective or ineffective in our current lives. You are the expert in your own experiences. I collaboratively work with you to define, encourage, and assist, in a safe and trusting environment.

Does chronic pain, lack of sleep, depression, anxiety, avoidance or communication challenges keep you from living life to the fullest? I can help by incorporating therapy, empathy, compassion in a non-judgmental environment as you move toward your desired future. My experience as an eclectic therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), and CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) have helped former patients move beyond anxiety symptoms that may have resulted from childhood, military, marital, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.

As a licensed psychologist and Jungian analyst, I gently proceed at your pace as we explore what is happening in your life--experiences and your feelings about them-- in search of meaning and the potential for the transformation of depression, anxiety, and relationships.

Welcome! I provide support, compassion, and expertise to guide you in the process of self awareness. I provide a warm environment that encourages you to realize your full potential. I believe we all have the capability to create the life we want to live. I will help you discover what blocks your life's development. Counseling is an evolving process, which does not happen along the same path for each individual. However, most clients strive for the same thing, "to be happy." I work in a collaborative, strength's based fashion to help you improve your life and your relationships. Life truly can be Content.

Do you feel hopeless from a past traumatic experience? Or do you feel like you're in a constant cycle of stress, anxiety, or sadness? Anxiety, depression, sadness, and stress can feel overwhelming, consuming, and hopeless. I work with people who want to explore their story and change this chapter in their life. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life adjustment, changes, and transitions, and individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, or domestic violence. As someone who is Alaskan Native and Pacific Islander, I am passionate about working with BIPOC folks and other marginalized communities.

Being a counselor for me means being that safe space for somebody who is struggling with the way they view themselves and the world around them. I want someone to walk away from sitting with me and leave feeling like they are capable of getting through the things they are struggling with and feel that they were seen and supported. My office being in a physical therapy clinic provides me with the unique opportunity to combine my knowledge and love of movement with my history of chronic pain to address mental health in a way that provides healing both mentally and physically.

I'm Eva, and I'm thrilled to be with you on the journey toward healing and self-discovery. I specialize in perinatal mental health and sex therapy. I provide a safe and judgment-free space to explore the intricacies of their mental health and relationships.

These personal experiences have fueled my commitment to creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Do you want to build stronger emotional connections with partners, friends, and family members? Are you wanting a life that is fulfilling because you have created a robust sense of self and vibrant relationships? …Let’s get started!

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

Accepting new clients. Are you struggling to live the life you want? Do you keep finding yourself in the same place without knowing how to change? Current situations & events can trigger old pain & trauma which can be confusing & negatively impact relationships. They can also lead to creating misguided stories that you tell yourself & that keep you anxious or in fight/flight states. We sometimes need help untangling & making sense of our experiences &/or trauma in life in order to thrive. Through non-judgmental warmth, compassion & self-reflection, we re-wire old thoughts and behaviors and help you live a more authentic life.

No one understands the pain you are feeling. It’s exhausting to carry this weight every day. You can’t imagine it will ever get better. You want change.

Even when we feel stuck, hurt or confused; our mood or life feel off balance; or our relationship has lost it's way, with the right support, we can draw upon existing strengths and wisdom to take the leap into transitions towards a better life for ourselves. I work with couples, seeking a bridge back to one another when distance, conflict or communication difficulties have taken away their sense of connectedness and understanding. I work with individuals to help them find a sense of clarity and resilience to clear away obstacles or heal painful memories that seem insurmountable.
