Couples Counseling Therapists in Arlington, WA

Today, life is stressful. Work and relationship pressures can take a toll. Now is a good time to reach out for assistance. Life changes, relationships, traumatic experiences and day to day life pressures can take a toll on mental health. Difficult experiences contribute to depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. We all need a safe place to process with an individual that provides us with a non- judgmental prospective. I will create a safe, therapeutic space for you to discuss your individual story and your goals. Together we will build on your strengths and work toward meeting your goals.

It is hard for many of us to reach out to someone for help. It may be embarrassment, or being unsure how therapy would help heal you. Our journey together will be a compassionate, nonjudgemental classroom where you will learn more of your pure self and its ability to heal. It is important that we both see clearly in our work together: "There’s one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community, university or nation — the ability to see someone else deeply, to know another person profoundly, to make them feel heard and understood.” David Brooks, New York Times

Life can be difficult on many levels and it is easy to get stuck on the negative path with worries. We believe in listening and being present to help people process through their hurt, pain and doubt. We have worked with individuals that have had past trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem challenges and other difficulties. We provide a safe, understanding place for clients to be able to process and work through those emotions. Our approach is to offer a collaborative and conversational way for clients to process emotions in a safe setting.

Everyone has the ability, and the right to live a life of meaning, fulfillment and joy. I strive to assist individuals and families to find their way through the emotional land mines and roadblocks that get in the way of having a good life, or even a "good enough" life. What I bring to help this process is a Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Science with a focus on Systems Counseling (couples and family therapy). I am a licensed mental health counselor with 20 year's experience as well as being a state-approved supervisor for licensure candidates.

Therapy is an incredible tool for healing, exploration, and liberation. I am specially trained in lending a neutral ear as you navigate new truths and find growth in old wounds. As a relationship therapy specialist, I know that enriching connections to Self, Partners, Family, and Community are key to achieving the high quality of life that you deserve. My role is to help you gain confidence, truth, and a chance to re-author your life’s narrative. I work with individuals, people in relationships (couples, spouses, polycules, etc.), and families of all kinds. I draw from a strengths-based narrative approach that is client-centered.

People treated at Westwinds Behavioral Health get better. The front line treatment is predominantly CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) along with Narrative Therapy. Clients prioritize & identify goals they desire to reach. They learn the tools to construct the functionality & desired outcomes for their lives. Therapy is a client centered approach regardless of the presenting issues. When things are not working out in life folks discover that each of us has within us resources to author our desired next chapter of life. Personalized success is identified by individual, couple & family accomplishment & achieving desired results.

Life is unpredictable and can often leave us in a place of vulnerability. Life can get busy changes occur, and our relationships can be affected. Often times we just need someone to talk with for a different perspective or a different way of approaching a life challenge. Often times we just may be unable to articulate what we need as we navigate our feelings and what we want for our own personal goals and outcomes. When we push our needs aside they can resurface in ways that become unmanageable, making it hard to connect with others.

I'm Currently Accepting New Clients! Are you struggling with the transition of becoming a mom while also navigating your relationships, a work life balance, and/ or taking time for yourself? Or maybe you're going through another big life transition (divorce, job change, big move, etc.) and you're unable to cope with it all on your own. We live in a fast paced world where it is easy to become stressed out and overwhelmed and we no longer have the communal support of our family, neighbors, and friends, so our symptoms have only intensified. But you are not alone and transformation is possible. The life you want is possible!

My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and ages seeking healing and understanding of their relationships and meaning in life. Some suffer from substance addiction, others from work stress, and many from wounded relationships in their family. Their goals are redemption of their suffering, building new ways of relating to others and clearing the pain of the past from clouding the joy of the present. I am licensed in Washington and Idaho.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

Most clients come to me from the military and emergency services but I also work with many relationships as they struggle with anxiety and mild depression, largely stemming from work-related stress and a lack of work-life balance. They are highly motivated and self-aware, acknowledging their need for help and actively seeking it. They have a supportive network but feel isolated in their experiences, yearning for a space to express their feelings without judgment. They also want to explore underlying issues contributing to their mental health challenges, such as perfectionism and fear of failure.

Do you struggle with anxiety and depression? Have you recently lost someone close? Are you experiencing relationship struggles?
