In Person Therapists in Roosevelt, Bellingham, WA
Waitlist welcome for in-person or teletherapy. I work with individuals & individuals of couples & particularly appreciate working with young adults & elder adults. Emphasis is on building self-efficacy, a positive psychology approach supported by CBT - not only navigating the impact of internal and external weaknesses but also building your strengths - what else is going to bail you when times get rough! And yes, it's OK to have weaknesses. No human is without. To say, "I have weakness," is not to say, "I am weak."

Good For You! You have taken the first step: You are asking for help at a time when life challenges have caused you to pause and reflect. Life can feel out of balance, leaving us with feelings of despair, anxiousness and loss. Our basic human needs are those of connecting to others. We feel pain and discomfort when we feel separated. It takes courage to look at ourselves, to find the meaning of the discomfort. This struggle can have profound lasting results for personal growth, better health, and closer relationships with our family, friends and the community at large.

We live in a complicated and challenging society and then, we have ourselves to deal with. Therapy is a good way to understand yourself on a deeper level so you can grow to your full potential and change the things that need to be changed. By doing so, we not only heal ourselves, but we are then a benefit to others in our life and to the world in general. I think I can help with that no matter where you are in the process.

My strength is in making you feel supported and accepted, by using a person-centered, collaborative approach to help you find a way forward out of habitual but ineffective ways of coping with life events. Coping with inevitable life change can be painful and difficult, resulting in anxiety, depression and other forms of distress. My specialty is facilitating and guiding the process of developing an understanding of the varied life influences that have brought you to this point and to help you change habitual but unsatisfactory patterns of behavior.

I believe it is in the context of relationship that we begin to build an understanding of ourselves and the world. Whether these relationships have been helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between, they shape the way we think, feel and behave. Therefore, as counseling begins we will take time to be curious about how your relational experiences have impacted you. We will explore your past and current stories. We will spend time identifying what is currently troubling you, possible origins of unhelpful coping strategies, and then together identify steps you can take to begin to find healing or freedom.

My therapeutic approach is to create a space for each unique person I meet with to engage around whatever the individual would like to address. I am very flexible in my approach and hope to empower each person through some dedicated time, space, and collaboration. The therapeutic relationship is the most vital part in coming in for counseling and I work hard to make things comfortable to ensure a good fit is found for anyone I work with.

With the death of my infant son in 1982, I felt truly indoctrinated into the world of the dark-- and more equipped to help others with their pain and loss. A counselor for 40+ yrs, I help clients navigate into the dark, hidden parts of themselves--where much of their beauty, stories, secrets, "feared monsters", etc. lay buried & aching to be set free. Through a trusting counseling relationship, I help clients move from their head to their heart, remove masks & walls of defense no longer serving them, & open their heart to loving relationship with self and other.

Most conflict involves relationship: a relationship with ourselves, our parents, our children, our lovers, our bosses, our co-workers. This is the one area where education fails us. We inhabit an adult body with a child's knowledge of how to interact with the world and ourselves and that is where a therapist's knowledge can be beneficial. "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" (Rumi). I can help a client find and diminish those barriers.

I believe in the strength, resiliency and beauty of the human spirit. I also believe in co-creating opportunities to bring forth our best self. By changing the stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome extreme adversity and trauma. Through self actualization and awareness we can become our true selves and live the life we truly want to live. In my training and career, the focus of my work has been in treating adolescents and adults suffering from mood disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, LGBTQ issues, Sex Positive & Kink issues as well as issues of Grief and Loss/Death & Dying.

Perhaps everything seems fine on the outside to others…you are able to do what you need to do (on most days), but on the inside you feel overwhelmed, worried, and tired. Perhaps you oscillate between thinking over and over about things, your relationships, what’s next in life...to just shutting down and feeling sad or numb. Some days you don’t even know what’s wrong, it may seem like a lot of little things, and there may be so many opinions inside your head that you can’t even hear your own anymore. Do you wish that you knew how to listen to yourself and trust what you hear?

Adolescence can be an incredibly confusing, difficult, and demanding time in life. The pressures of school, peers, family, and building one’s identity, not to mention thinking about the future, can contribute to any number of mental health challenges. For kids, teens, and young adults these days, trying to address these challenges can be scary and uncomfortable. Being open to exploring these experiences takes courage and having the opportunity to do so in a safe, confidential, and open environment can foster change and personal growth.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless, while knowing that a better life is possible? If you have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety and depression, you might feel trapped in a cycle of negative thinking, painful emotions, and failing relationships. Burdens of shame, anger or sadness can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be can feel impossible. No matter how hard things seem, we can help you find the inner strength to heal, grow, and become the person you were always meant to be.

As a LMFT I have worked over the past 15 years extensively with adults and adolescents experiencing traumas. Trauma can spill over onto family systems, causing pain and suffering to those we love and who love us. Whether our focus together is healing past traumas, unhappiness in relationships, or finding a way to navigate bringing together a new family system - lets start. I strongly believe in the ability of people to heal, grow, and improve their lives within a safe therapeutic environment, to explore their feelings and experiences. I would be honored to be the person you choose to help the healing begin.
