Trauma Focused Therapists in Centralia, WA
My therapeutic style is family of origin, client-centered and trauma focused.
The world can be a scary place. Things can happen to us where the scars are not visible to the world. These scars can show up as depression, anxiety, anger, and even thoughts of suicide. In our sessions together, we will work together to find relief from these scars. I want to provide a safe space where you can tell your story and be heard. I am specialized to work with trauma, depression, anxiety, and feelings of intense anger. I incorporate Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT), Attachment, and LIfespan Integration (for trauma).

Do you often find yourself caught in a cycle of worry, where your mind races with thoughts of worst-case scenarios? Perhaps you struggle to quiet the constant chatter in your head, feeling like you’re always on edge, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

These experiences can make it difficult to enjoy the present moment and leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed. Anxiety can stem from a variety of sources, but no matter where it originates, it’s a burden you don’t have to carry alone.

Suffering is an unavoidable part of being human. All of us experience it. Anxiety, depression, substance use, anger, trauma, isolation, and loss can leave a person struggling to believe that something different is possible. You're not alone with those experiences. It takes courage to turn and face the mess of contradictions that keep us feeling stuck. Through the process there is often a need for another person's perspective or to simply feel human.
