Therapists in Enumclaw, WA

My lived experience and training merge to create a helpful skillset that has a positive impact on my work. I work with people who are neurodivergent themselves and/ or people who are trying to understand how to best support a loved one who is neurodivergent. In my work with couples and families, my clients are wanting to understand how to navigate different brain types often alongside navigating very different lived experiences, and different social backgrounds.

First and foremost, what I do is about YOU! The fact that you are reading this says amazing things about the measurable quality of wholeness & excellence you have determined to possess; life should be deeply satisfying & fulfilling. No one has ever lived a life, where at some point, we look around & find we are somewhere we did not intend to be. Therapy is THE gift that allows you to tap into the resources that you already possess, which need to reconnect with your authentic self - where all of your inner values, intentions, and dreams are aligned & moving you towards the life you deserve to live. I welcome all people.

Individuals of any age struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and difficult life transitions may improve with treatment that accesses the creative side of the brain through a safe and therapeutic method of emotional expression. No artistic skill required! Children and youth who have trouble talking about their thoughts and feelings due to developmental, emotional, or English language skill reasons can use the creative process to learn how to understand their world, build social and coping skills.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, yet it is one that really matters. It is understandable to feel out of sorts, isolated, or misunderstood when experiencing relationship, family, peer, academic, or workplace stress, during a life transition, or when recovering from trauma. You may also be struggling with a death, the end of a relationship, a relocation from another state or country, an adjustment to a health issue of yourself or a loved one, or being in an environment in which you feel you don't fit. It can be painful to experience these feelings and to try to find a way forward. You don't have to do this alone.

My work with individuals has focused on people who have a strong desire to live meaningful lives and have a sincere wish to be good partners, parents, and community members. At the same time, they feel distant from their deeper selves and find that their relationships and life are not what they had hoped they would be at this time. They find that they are inwardly blocked from living life more fully. My work with couples, families, children, and adolescents has focused on helping navigate challenging circumstances, stressors, familial and life events.

Often the struggles and barriers we face are opportunities to envision what we really want for our lives. I am here as a child & family therapist to join with you and your family where you are at in the moment, and to walk beside you towards where you hope to be. TOGETHER we will get to the heart of what really matters. I believe that each individual, from child to adult, has unique strengths to build upon. My approach establishes the foundation of treatment on these innate strengths to overcome challenges, as to move towards increased life satisfaction & healthy relationships.

As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I use an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. Incorporating multiple trauma-informed modalities that work best for my clients yet focusing on and highlighting strengths-based, client-centered approaches.

Having spent significant time on “the other side of the chair” with both helpful and harmful experiences, I care deeply about others’ experiences with therapists and counselors.

I have a wide variety of experience with children, teens, and adults. I especially enjoy working with people who are exploring identity development or need help with challenging experiences.

Therapy takes many forms. Sometimes, it is quick and transformational. Sometimes, it’s slow and gentle, so as not to overwhelm your nervous system. Together, we will craft an approach that work best for you. I have extensive training in trauma therapy, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, and Shamanic Healing. Although Shamanic Healing is typically outside of the scope of behavioral health, I use my training to work with metaphor, which is the language our limbic brains understand best. And, my experiences in Shamanic Healing inform my work in transpersonal therapy.

Feeling connected in a highly individualistic society can be incredibly difficult, especially when dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma or PTSD, or grief. Therapy can be a helpful tool to orient us back to a world of belonging and it is my goal to help you find your own unique path toward this. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples heal relationship issues, identity related and women’s/men’s issues, as well as self-esteem issues, and more. I am whole-heartedly supportive of the LGBTQ+ populations, sex workers, and alternative relationship styles such as ENM, polyamory, and friendships.

Sometimes life can feel a bit overwhelming and cause you to feel alone. I believe that asking for help takes courage and is a powerful move in making a difference in your life. You do not have to go through the struggles of life alone. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where you are the master of your life, and I am joining along for the ride. I hope we can work together to find the answers you may be looking for within you. I am here to help with any life challenges you may be going through.
