Therapists in North Bend, WA

I established my practice to provide sound therapy to those who are seeking to grow, heal, transition--to shift from established ways of coping that are no longer helpful and to heal from past pains that cause present distress. My approach is very engaging and practical and helps individuals and couples manage and experience their life and relationships in more stable and positive ways. I am able to help those with a myriad of life's stresses and complex emotions. For me, the client-therapist relationship is an honor and a privilege as we share this work together.

Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to help you navigate through the storms and find your inner strength.

Counseling is a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself freely, learn new skills, and gain new insights. You deserve to live a life that brings you joy and fulfillment.

I strongly believe that all clients are unique in their circumstances and needs. I believe that therapy is best done as a collaborative process between counselor and client. My goal is to build a partnership with you in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and ways of being in the world in a deeper way. I encourage my clients to find ways of being their best and most authentic selves and help them challenge beliefs and feelings that prevent them from doing so.

For over 20 years, I have gotten to do what I love every day. I believe the healing journey is sacred. Allowing someone to walk with you on this journey is always an honor and privilege. I provide therapy services for individuals needing behavioral health support to write the next chapter in their lives. This is done by assisting individuals in recognizing options, problem-solving, identifying and using resources, trying things a new way, encouraging them to discover and build on their strengths and supporting the people they care about. The first step on this journey begins with you.

The goal of treatment is to provide outpatient mental health services, which eliminate or substantially reduce communication and/or social/ cultural barriers. My treatment encourages the involvement of natural support systems available to individuals and families. The goal is the client should live in the community as least restrictively as possible an environment, with minimal Dependance on public safety and acute care resources. To enable patients to establish or maintain appropriate residences and or to advert crisis and re-hospitalization or more restrictive levels of care. The client has the right to refuse treatment.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to create change and gain skills toward aligning their behavior with their values.

Therapy is creative, gives us focus, loosens the grip of our problems, spins us around, and lifts us up.

Usually there is some aspect of Cognitive Behavioral therapy, because it is so helpful.

With productive self-awareness your actions will naturally become more effective and thoughtful.
