Therapists in Dayton, WA

I love my job! I am user-friendly in your difficult time. I specialize in clients experiencing trauma disorders and symptoms related to trauma, including substance use issues. I invest in the sacred trust relationship between client and therapist and provide a non-judgemental, caring, empathetic, safe place where I believe all my clients are capable of solving their own wellness issues by utilizing the tools and experience I bring to them to assist them in building their own solutions. I understand each client is doing the best they can with the tools they have and truly wants to improve their quality of life.

Are issues like communication around money, sex, or intimacy creating distance in your relationship? Do you feel like you are drifting apart? Has there been a violation of trust?

Now accepting new clients! I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Reaching out for help can be difficult sometimes! I want to honor that and I want to make your experience in therapy meaningful and purposeful in your life. We all experience mental health challenges throughout life and we are all deserving of help. I hope that you trust me with your life stories.

As a dual diagnosis/co-occurring psychotherapist, (licensed mental health counselor and licensed substance use disorder professional) my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. By applying specific therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life and incorporate healthy coping skills.

Hello, I am Anna. As a mom, mental health professional, and disabled individual, I know how difficult the world and life can be and how hard it can be to ask for help. I see counseling as coming beside a person and assisting them to best help themselves. Counseling should be a partnership where the person is open, determined and willing to work and the clinician, in collaboration with them, directs the ship and supports them with the tools they need. Are you having a tough time with anxiety? Has your past held you back from your goals? Do feel lost trying to fill your life with "stuff" that never seems to help? Change is possible.

Most of my clients come to me at a point in their life where they no longer recognize themselves or their relationships. They've put much on the back-burner for so long that they loose their identity. They wake up to a life with little passion, little desire, and very little will. This issue is typically their subconscious letting them know that how they've been living is no longer conducive on their journey of growth and success. If you are having or have had this experience, then it is my goal to help you identify and remove those blocks to put you back on the course where you experience life and relationships to their fullest.

In a perfect world, we are operating at 100% energy, vigor, and zest. Life's trials and tribulations can inhibit our ability to fully self express. I offer to you the opportunity to get past and triumph over factors in your life that are inhibiting your ability to achieve your goals and aspirations. Whether you struggle from a physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual impediment, our time together will focus on your wants and needs so that you can overcome any such challenges and move forward in the present in an empowered manner. If you are ready, I am ready to support you.

Accepting New Clients! For years I wondered why I struggled with focusing, poor memory, high energy, listening, deadlines, or remembering to eat. It was only after I was diagnosed with ADHD before I realized "hey, I am not making this up," or "I am not dumb- I learn differently." Attempts to meet the expectations of a neurotypical society creates a harmful cycle where we feel it is relentless and never ending. Past life experiences can and still haunt us, as society continues to "inform" us of what "normal" looks like. Trying to mask who we are daily is exhausting and painful, and only breeds more pain and internal hurt.

I see my work with my clients as a sacred privilege and responsibility. As a therapist, it is my goal to ensure that you are provided with a safe, open environment where issues can be addressed and tackled head on. My hope is to provide you with the support and tools you need to conquer difficult times and move forward, recognizing your strengths.
