Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Mill Creek, WA

Effective 5/23/23, I am only providing services to clients seeking psychological evaluations. No counseling services are offered in my practice. Evaluations are commonly sought for concerns, such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Specific Learning Disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, to name a few. Some clients who are experiencing Gender Dysphoria also seek evaluations to support medical transition services.

I work with adults and adolescents who are dealing with various psycho-social issues including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma. I work in partnership with you to empower you to find solutions that work for your particular situation. My primary therapeutic modality is EMDR Therapy.

You may be in a space and time in your life where you are ready to begin therapy for the first time or maybe you are moving toward it again. Whatever the case may be, you are brave to be caring for yourself by searching for support in this capacity. Collaboratively in therapy we will begin to create a window into seeing the narrative of your story. Navigating your own personal story is a way to begin to transition toward the life you desire and long for.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I specialize in working with individuals, adolescents, and parents at any stage in their parenting journey. I have experience with and especially enjoy helping people navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. As a therapist, I feel honored to play a role in an individual's or family's life as they seek to make changes.

Therapy works. Whatever concerns have brought you here, you can make the changes necessary to find greater happiness and satisfaction in yourself and your relationships with others. This requires dedication, hard work and a willingness to explore behavioral patterns with the support of a skilled caring therapist. As we walk this path together, you will develop a greater understanding of self and acquire the tools needed to meet your goals. Resolving the issues that lie beneath the symptoms you are experiencing, will allow you to live the rewarding life you deserve.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a warm and welcoming environment where you are free to explore the areas of your life you wish to improve for holistic healing - physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. I offer a warm and empathetic environment as I use a person-centered approach that allows me to understand you through your own unique experiences and walk alongside you on this journey to achieve your personal goals. My primary focus is in child, individual, and couples/family counseling as well as working with neurodivergent populations using neurodiversity-affirming language and approach.

My goal is to help people get better, heal, grow, and change. I believe about 1/3 of clients seeking help want help and are motivated to do the work to get better. I believe that 1/3 of clients say they want help but are not motivated and don't do the work necessary to get better while the other 1/3 come for counseling only at the insistence of someone else. I see my job as helping clients to see which group they fall in while respecting those who don't want/choose help.

Therapies that focus on brain change, heal symptoms more rapidly and get to the deepest part of the issue. I work from a positive perspective that is both challenging and supportive simultaneously. Some people come to me to grow in areas of peak performance and others come to break free from the gridlock they experience in their significant relationships. Many people are stuck in a depressive or anxious cycle that doesn't allow them to be authentic in how they engage the world. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I love it.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

Are you someone who desires to examine and change their life and needs some support? You are already on your way to find this. I believe that connection to the body and self is a true gift in this life and something that we are often separated from through oppression, trauma, eating disorders, etc. I like to work with individuals who want to come back into themselves. My clients are passionate about personal development divesting from oppressive systems and gaining a true understanding of themselves.

Are you struggling with how you fit into the world we all share? Do you find that anxiety, depression, and the barriers you are facing are overwhelming? Finding acceptance and even love for our imperfections can be difficult in a world that is build for only displaying your best perfect self. I specialize in working with those that are physical and mental "disabilities", LGBTQI, Poly/Kink, ADHD, neurodiverse, Autistic, and DID.

You're struggling with past traumas. Maybe you don't even realize that a lot of your frustration, anxiety and depression and current struggles are linked to past traumas.
