Drug Abuse Therapists in Everett, WA

When I hear the words "ideal client," I immediately think about someone who is willing to change. This is someone who is wanting to work on themselves and is ready to take "personal inventory." Someone who is open, honest, and vulnerable with themselves and their therapist. A client who is willing to engage and participate in the process of bettering themselves. We can work on managing stress, day to day challenges, or learning coping skills. We will work together on a therapeutic approach that is right for you.

Psychology works because it is a way to help people understand their problems and correct or change so that they can live more healthy or satisfying lives. Many people come for therapy if they are experiencing problems with depression, anxiety or relationship issues. Some other common problems that I help treat are problems with work injuries, sleep, weight, stress, trauma, and sexual problems. These problems can be greatly helped through therapy. I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting each individual’s needs rather than using one form of treatment.

If we don’t have the tools to address our fear, our grief, our deep hurt - it emerges as depression, anxiety, resentment, hate, chronic pain, or compulsive, habitual patterns. My motto is: “When we apply love to hurt we heal” I listen to your needs with respect and empathy as we explore heart-centered solutions. This approach uses both evidence-based clinical psychological approaches and Spirituality. It is NOT associated with any religion. I also utilize hypnosis, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming, relaxation techniques, and a client-centered to discover and unlock the keys to re-discovery that work for YOU!

Therapy can be a difficult but worthwhile endeavor. I believe healing is a life-long journey, it is not linear, nor does it happen in isolation. I honor your trust by providing a space where you can feel safe, supported, and most of all be vulnerable. A space that is free of judgement and of unsolicited advice. I provide a person-centered therapeutic approach that includes psychoeducation, EMDR, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Somatic, and Ego State techniques, all rooted in a trauma informed and holistic perspective.

Maybe you already know you have a problem with alcohol or drugs, or maybe someone else thinks so. I start by asking what you think. The question is not what label to give you, but what, if anything, you might be considering changing. You might be surprised to hear me ask what is good about your use. What are your reasons to keep doing what you already do? And then we can look at what is not so good about it, from your point of view. No change is going to happen that does not make sense to you.

Accepting new clients. My clients are survivors of their respective challenges, trauma, or circumstances and they are ready to empower themselves to seek change.

Having issues with generalized anxiety and substance use in the past, I believe that the people who have been there and recovered are the best guides. The formula I use is applying love to hurt. When we find the root cause of Addiction and mood disorders and treat it with compassion, amazing results can be found. I have proven this when I worked at the first Mental Health Urgent Care.

Each person is unique and obtains a treatment plan suited to them.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again.

Approaching Authenticity: Life presents challenges that can feel like barriers to our true selves.

When life becomes overwhelming it can be difficult to know where to turn. I offer a safe place for individuals and couples to explore these difficult times and start to make sense out of the chaos. Going to therapy does not mean you are weak or your relationship is going to end. It means just the opposite. It means you are taking the time to put yourself and or your relationship first. Counseling gives you the freedom to explore who you are without judgment or criticism and to start to understand yourself on a deeper more compassionate level.

I work with anxiety, OCD, depression, addiction (alcohol, sexual, drug, spending, overeating, and work). I also work with chronic pain issues from a place of helping people express emotion. I do both in person and teleconferencing counseling at this time.
