Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

My goal is to help rehabilitate and uplift 1,000 people through therapeutic treatment, online psychoeducation, and my workbooks. Yogananda said it best, “A person who has reformed themselves will reform thousands.” Currently, I am working in private practice treating kids as young as 8 to adult clients for trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal issues. I use many modalities in treatment including CBT, DBT, attachment theory, interpersonal outcomes method, boundaries, mindfulness, meditation, art therapy, and lifespan integration.

Being a human can be hard work! Day-to-day challenges can range from the simply annoying to the downright overwhelming. By providing a safe and supportive environment, I help clients find answers, expand their perspectives, and build healthy habits. Using a mixture of assessment and therapeutic intervention, I am committed to assisting you in achieving your best life… and who knows, maybe we’ll have a little fun along the way!

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify issues and goals to determine the best course of treatment and develop a treatment plan. I see the most progress with clients who are ready to talk about change or ready for change in their individual life and/or relationships.

I welcome clients who are contemplating making positive changes in their lives. This might consist of guidance in making adjustments during career or general life transitions and challenges. Finding the right therapist can be challenging and you are courageous in taking action. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with addiction and underlying emotional disturbances. I invite family members to participate when appropriate and together we work on building a healthy support system. Coping and stress management skills are implemented to achieve your long and short-term goals.

I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like their emotions are out of control… they feel like they're on a treadmill, trying so hard but getting nowhere, relationships aren’t what they want them to be, maybe they don’t have enough energy to do things and rest isn’t restful. Or maybe it’s that they're not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from Stockton State University in Pomona NJ and a master’s degree in mental health Counseling from City University in Bellevue WA. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist through the WA state Department of Health. I have over 15 years of experience in varied mental health counseling settings I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Suicide Assessment and Treatment.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, and answering any questions you may have!

As a certified Functional Nutritional Therapist, I leverage my knowledge of body systems, nutrition, and lifestyle to optimize treatment outcomes.

My passion is people, and my goal in therapy is helping individuals work through issues in order to improve their overall quality of life. I help the client to identify their own strengths and ways that these might be useful in the healing process, as well as helping them to build new strengths to implement in the management of emotions, traumas, and/or mental illness. I use tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Common Elements Treatment Approach, and Motivational Interviewing.

Modern life is challenging! There is always opportunity to reimagine and live a healthier, more fulfilling life. My passion is partnering with others in mindful exploration and growth, overcoming the barriers that keep them from envisioning and creating their best life. I work with adults struggling with many issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, professional burnout, relationships, grief, ADHD, self-esteem, and achieving personal and professional goals.

My approach to counseling is through the lens of trauma which allows me to be empathetic to the various life events that my clients have experienced and how those events shape their worldview and how they navigate it. I have experience working with clients ages 4-20+ who have experienced physical and sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, shame, guilt, and so much more. I have also facilitated teen support groups and parenting support groups for mothers with newborns.

After years of working alongside people struggling with substance use and mental health disorders, I have come to learn the importance of understanding each person as an individual with individual needs and the need for community and acceptance. I believe that each person can develop a deeper sense of self through viewing therapy as a journey that allows for learning, awareness, and self-compassion. We will work together in discovering your resiliency, to foster your sense of self, and to gain the confidence in learning and applying new ways to cope with life’s events.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) working in Western Washington. I work with children and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. Struggling in any one of these areas can leave you feeling stuck, hopeless, helpless, and frustrated. I am an empathetic therapist who focuses on the client's needs. I will help guide you through these difficult emotions while helping to identify the root cause. I do not want to only help you alleviate the symptoms you experience but help you to deal with the underlying issue(s) at hand.

I really do enjoy working with individuals and groups and seek to have an authentic and warm therapeutic relationship with my clients. Building trust is paramount to successful treatment and my approach is to start with a more open and conversational tone after assessment. The process will focus on feelings and creating a space to foster more sensitive conversations. My own life experiences have guided me to this ‘feeling work’. My life’s purpose is to use the gift for seeing the strengths in people to assist the client in finding their genuine self. Past clients have described me as “caring”, “empathic” and “helpful”.

If you are struggling with multiple complex issues and haven't been able to figure out where to start or which end is up, we can work together to figure out how it all connects and what you would like to address . I appreciate the interconnection between physical and mental health issues, relationship struggles and the complications of addictions and habits. At our initial appointment, I will take some basic history, learn more about your current situation and your goals and then introduce the Cognitive Behavior Therapy TEAM model that I utilize to structure treatment.

Whether it is situational stressors or more long-term issues that you are dealing with such as a chronic or pervasive mental illness, let me assist you as you walk the path of life. We can identify where there is room for healthy changes and develop a well-rounded supply of coping strategies that are tailored to you specifically to deal with those issues that cannot be changed.
