Relationship Issues Therapists in Longview, WA
I specialize in working with teen girls and women who deal with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-defeating thoughts, self-esteem issues, as well as trauma issues.
I have a heart to help equip women and teen girls who are hurting to live a life of growth, acceptance and, ultimately, healing. My passion is to help you identify destructive behaviors and grow in self-awareness, learn healthy ways of processing and communicating, establish healthy boundaries in your personal life and in relationships, grow in self-worth, and create stability in your life. I also love working with couples who could benefit from learning new communication and relational techniques. Every couple has difficulty along the way - I would love to walk alongside you and help guide you through relational healing.

Trauma can get stuck in the body. Throughout time, that trauma wreaks havoc on our physical and emotional being causing a myriad of health problems. Because trauma is stored differently than other stressors, it demands a specific therapeutic approach. As you may have experienced in past therapy, talking about trauma is often ineffective, and revisiting those memories can often worsen your situation. This can lead to relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Together, we can find a way to move past that trauma and live a life free of pain, and filled with peace.

All are welcome at Abundance Family Therapy! Everyone has times that seem too hard to bear. Life can seem pretty heavy at times, and we just need our load lightened. Sometimes the heaviness comes from feelings of anxiety, depression, life transitions, loneliness, spiritual challenges, communication issues or even relationship fractures. If you find yourself feeling the weight of these things or perhaps other things in your life, please come on in and let me help lighten your load. Although experiencing these feelings or situations remind us, we are human, it is the overcoming that brings peace and growth.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step towards improving the quality of your life. Counseling is the process that evokes change through vulnerability, connection, openness, trust, and bringing your inner world into the light. Discovering your purpose, meaning, dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thoughts can alleviate the weight you are carrying around. I enjoy working with people who are dealing with relationship issues (of all kinds!), anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, attachment, depression, trauma, codependency, and negative self-talk. I am also increasing my knowledge around Ketamine and Autism.

“The fundamental principle in care of the soul is that the soul needs tending. If we do not tend to things in their suffering, and decay, we risk living the life of the walking dead.” ~Thomas Moore. As I acquire experience as a therapist, it has become apparent that the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client is crucial to the success of the client. Counseling is based on trust and the professional connection, and through that connection, the counseling session becomes a co-creation that can unlock the client’s barriers to a fulfilling life.

I believe that a therapeutic relationship is the most important component for the therapy process to be effective and worthwhile.
My therapeutic approach to therapy is client-centered, based on the belief that every person brings a unique and formative personal, family, and cultural experience. I have been influenced by Adlerian psychology, with emphasis on the healing power of a therapist-client relationship. I focus on who you are and how you experience yourself, strengths and “growth edges”, past and current relationship experience, and your style of relating, in addition to biological experiences on behavior and the influence of culture/society on you and your concerns.

I utilize empathetic listening and motivational interviewing to strengthen the therapeutic relationship. I resonate with Emotionally Focused and Attachment Therapy due to the innate need for humans to form and maintain bonds throughout their life cycle.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
