Person-Centered Therapists in Ferndale, WA
Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball and we need some help navigating the unexpected. Most of us will seek therapy at some point in our lives, but that doesn’t make asking for help any easier. I specialize in a strengths-based, person-centered approach that helps my clients learn to challenge their own automatic thought patterns in a way that frees them to create the future they desire. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach to therapy where we work together as a team. I do use an adorable therapy pup named Carl as part of the therapeutic process. If you are allergic, I am happy to offer video sessions online.

"Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up," Brene Brown. Making the decision to go to therapy is difficult, finding the right therapist can be even more of a challenge. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that must occur in a safe and accepting space to facilitate change.

I am trained Lifespan Integration, Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, person-centered therapy, trauma-focused therapy, somatic parts work, Gottman, and more.
I believe therapy can serve as a potent and powerful conduit for healing, a place where you can say the things that you often don't, a cozy nest for sharing your most vulnerable self in search of hope and meaning, a platform for decision-making and action as you forge your way through change and growth. Our suffering is often the result of old behaviors, old traumas, old ways of thinking that we cling to in fear. And I believe that each individual is unique, with strengths, hopes, and challenges. I have extensive experience in life transitions, trauma, addiction and recovery, and building a life of meaning and joy.

Changes and transitions are hard for all of us. Sometimes they can be great things like a new job, relationship or family member and other times they are hard changes like a death or the loss of something important to us. Other times they are the result of a trauma that may be recent or may have happened a while ago. I have several years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, families and couples adapt creatively to these transitions in order to help them become the person they were created to be.

The search for a therapeutic relationship founded on trust, compassion and understanding driven by your needs, goals and dreams is one of the most important decisions you will make. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and strength, built on the foundation of hope to begin the journey of finding ourselves. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe we all have a unique story to share with the world. Our knowledge of ourselves; spiritually,mentally and physically drives our choices and is the catalyst for change in that narrative.

There is a gap between the way you wish life would be and the reality of life. Anxiety and Depression are just overwhelming and it makes it hard to connect to loved ones, get daily tasks done, and think clearly. You notice yourself feeling so disconnected. And you are finding it hard to have the drive to get things done. Where is the joy in life? You remember enjoying things but now everyday is just gray. You want to be able to feel like the Real You again! Not hidden by anxiety and depression.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward self improvement! I know the thought of seeking counseling and therapy can seem daunting and scary, and I commend your efforts. People seek counseling for many reasons, sometimes feeling "stuck" or "lost" in their lives, and not knowing which way to turn. Sometimes we just don't trust ourselves, or others, and begin thinking, "Is this what my life will always be like?"

I enjoy my work as a psychotherapist even more today then I did when I started over 20 years ago. There is so much power and insight that comes from a truly authentic relationship between therapist and client. You, the client, can then take what is learned in the safety of the therapeutic relationship out into the world full of Other relationships and feel equipped to navigate them in a way that is aligned with who you are. Whether it's your self as a mother, daughter, brother, or son, there is meaning to unfold in everything you do.

Are you tired of pretending everything is fine? Maybe life has taken an unexpected turn, or you're feeling stuck. Perhaps you have a child or teen who is struggling, you're a young adult trying to find your way in the world, you're longing to be a mother, or you feel like you've lost yourself in the process. This can feel very isolating, as though no one truly understands what you're going through. Overwhelming feelings can make it hard to know how to move forward. It’s okay to not be okay, and you don’t have to stay that way.
