This can lead us to feeling exhausted, alone, and hopeless. Juniper NW Counseling is about offering that moment of shade, a space to rest, heal and be restored. Whether your desert is depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, isolation in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, or parenting challenges, I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share about the most vulnerable parts of your desert.

I use a compassionate, holistic, person-centered approach because I recognize that you are the expert on you, and that exploring vulnerability began with you choosing to reach out for support. Because you are an individual with your own collection of needs and goals, I draw on several practices and modalities, including: Strengths-based Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Experiential Therapy; Somatic Therapy; nonviolent communication; personality typing; core values; identifying and holding boundaries; processing personal, social, and cultural roles; and achieving your best Identity of Self.
