Infidelity Therapists in Chimacum, WA

Throughout the 18 years I have been a therapist, I continually grow in my love for this work. I am in awe of the profound healing nature that each of us carry. My hope is that our work together supports you in remembering your wholeness. Whether it’s couples counseling or individual therapy you are looking for, my hope is to create an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment to promote your personal goals and healing.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to address issues ranging from relational conflict to the broad spectrum of mental health. Through an eclectic approach utilizing cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems-based modalities, I explore current problems within the social, cultural, and environmental context of life experiences and the impact these experiences have on both physical and mental health. I often approach the presenting issue as a symptom and endeavor to assist clients in developing an understanding of the function that problem serves and how to achieve that same function with more desired outcomes.

Do you ever wonder why others seem to be living their best lives while you feel like you’re wandering, worried you’re not doing things right? You’re under a lot of pressure and want to feel confident and free, but instead you catch yourself thinking things like: “Am I happy?” “Am I making the right decisions to get me to where I want to go?” “Where do I want to go?” “Am I actually living the life I want to live?” Instead of feeling in control of your life, you feel uneasy, restless, and confused. Deep down, you know you are worthy a fulfilling life, but you don’t know how to get there.

As a mindfulness-based counselor, I help individuals, adolescents and couples transform their struggles into opportunities for growth, learning and adventure. I help you turn your problems into pathways. This journey is an opportunity to unearth the home that is your deep and abiding sense of self. Drawing on nature wisdom, archetypal patterns, myth, mindfulness and the mind-body connection, I am here to be a guide as you dive into your own depths. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward wholeness, freedom and purpose.

Do you often feel stressed or worried, or that you can't turn your mind "off"? Do you feel stuck in your life, but uncertain of how to change? Are you engaging in behaviors that sometimes you don't even understand? Some of these experiences could be related to trauma; together you and I will explore and identify the varying causes of these feelings and change your thinking patterns. In trauma therapy, we understand that the memories from your past can be triggered by the present--memories don't exist on their own. Each experience and memory is attached to another in your body and mind.

As you are in the process of looking for a therapist, you may already be half-way through resolving your issues. It is said that client's readiness and willingness to make changes is the strongest indicator of successful therapy outcome. As a therapist, I will accompany you in the journey of actualizing your fullest potential by assisting you to develop internal and external resources such as the sense of freedom, choices, healthy sense of self, responsibility, managing life balance, and strong support systems and relationships.

In our fast paced culture that emphasizes productivity over presence, it can be easy to feel isolated and disconnected. When we experience major transitions in life, encounter loss and grief, experience trauma, enter periods of questioning or struggle with addiction or mental health challenges we can find ourselves feeling untethered and lost. As a counselor, I provide a safe, accepting, respectful and supportive space for individuals and couples to recover a sense of deep connection in their lives. I utilize person-centered approaches that support healthy attachment and attunement.

My goal is to help clients transform their pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I welcome individuals who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong" as well as people who have experienced abuse or struggle with negative self image and a harsh inner critic. I believe that our ability to heal is connected to, and reliant upon our connections with each other. I work virtually with clients all over Washington state.

I am unable to accept new clients at this time. Relationships may be difficult to say the least. Sometimes we feel blindsided by life's twists and turns. We all struggle at times to feel understood or with self doubt, while searching for solutions to overwhelming problems. Whether you are an individual or couple troubled by a present, past or current event, taking that first step, towards talking to someone who may be able to help sort things out, may be one of the most difficult things you do. I would like to make it a little easier.

Are you searching for therapy where you feel seen, emotionally connected, comfortable and safe? Do you sometimes struggle to understand your emotional responses? Do you sometimes feel hijacked by intense responses? Are you having trouble in your relationships and other important areas of life? Trauma may be at the root of it. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Provider and am trained extensively with issues of PTSD, CPTSD (childhood and chronic trauma), Narcissistic Abuse, infidelity/betrayal (attachment traumas), traumatic grief, and emotional abuse. Resolving adverse life events and the impact they have are my clinical focus.

Healing, growth, and change. Are you wondering if these common outcomes of therapy are actually possible for you, or if therapy works at all? Maybe you have a different set of questions. Can someone really help me overcome this dark depression or intense anxiety? Am I the only one feeling like this? Can our relationship rebound after this betrayal? What's wrong with me/him/her/them/us? Will I ever be free of this addiction? Why can't they just be happy for me? Questions like these are worthy to be asked and take a great deal of courage to seek the answers. You don't have to do this alone.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling in your relationships, dealing with ongoing stress, depression, or anxiety? You're not alone. Life can be incredibly challenging. Taking the step to seek support is tough, and I understand how crucial it is to find the right therapist for you. Our greatest struggles and deepest joys happen in relationships. The quality of our relationships, including those with family, friends, partners, and colleagues, impacts our mental and emotional well-being. Recognizing the complexities inherent in human connections (family, community, society) is central to my therapy practice.

My desire is to help you resolve issues that are having a negative effect on your life. These can be issues related to relationships, family, work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and parenting. As a Latina, I am aware of cultural barriers, and I would like to help you overcome those barriers.

Counseling for individuals and couples to overcome outstanding stress in daily life such as ongoing family conflict, resentment, bitterness, loneliness... Specialties include: overcoming depression cycles, infidelity, couples counseling (bringing romance and intimacy back), and critical insight as you adjust to a new normal that may be frightening. How many times have you said: "I know better, but I keep repeating the same mistakes over and over?" I invite you to slow down and become curious about your inner world so that we can identify the patterns that keep you frustrated.

Are you struggling with feelings of insecurity, trust issues, or having trouble connecting in your relationship? I help individuals and couples who want to be close and feel safe together to get vulnerable, honest, and learn to communicate. A deeper connection is possible, even if you are trying to recover from infidelity. You may feel lost without hope, and I will provide a supportive path forward with the tools you need to make meaning of past events, receive empathy, strengthen emotional intimacy, and build trust. We will work to alleviate trauma responses from betrayal, heal sexual intimacy, and create a healthier relationship.

Accepting New Clients: In my work with clients, the major areas of focus include: issues with relationship conflict, sexual compatibility, infidelity and intimacy. Whether as a couple or as an individual, I work with people to resolve on-going concerns. In my practice, all couples/individuals are welcome regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. It is my belief that compassion and humor are agents of change and healing. I offer a safe and comfortable place for my clients to explore new ways of working on current or on-going problems.

Now Accepting New Clients. I provide individual psychotherapy to teens and adults struggling with Sexual Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Behavioral Issues, Stress, Infidelity, and Relationships. I believe curiosity and acceptance, instead of hiding in fear and shame, provides self-acceptance and consequently relief. The ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered and free to create the life you want.
