Grief Therapists in University Place, WA

We are wired for relationship. It shapes us into who we are -- for better or for worse -- and yet also offers the healing we desperately desire. As your counselor, I am committed to you and to fostering an authentic, genuine relationship that allows for such healing to begin.

My preferred method of practice and my professional strengths involve a combination of our work together, identification and change of negative thougt patterns, and an exploration of sensations and moods that are assoicated with these thoughts. From this and from the experience of understanding and connection, new and healthy patterns of relating to yourself and others in your life can begin to be established and can continue to grow. You can begin to feel a sense of well-being, meaning, and purpose in your personal and professional life.

Infertility, pregnancy loss and unwanted childlessness impact every part of our lives. Relationships with others, finances, connection to our bodies, dreams for the future - nothing is untouched by this journey. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist Associate, and I am passionate about walking alongside anyone within the infertility and loss community. As a member of this community myself, I am dedicated to holding space for all the complex emotions infertility and loss bring. I use a mix of Narrative therapy, DBT, (and sometimes humor) to foster resilience and hope for the future.

We each have the ability to adapt, overcome adversity, feel joy and sorrow, love, and reach our highest potential. Stressful life events, trauma, loss, conflicts, illness, and transitions can overwhelm our ability to cope. Healing becomes blocked. We become stuck. We protect and defend ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the traumatic wound is triggered, we experience intense emotion and distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover and remove the blocks to healing, transforming pain and loss into meaning, awareness, and choice.

Accepting New Clients: We all experience challenges that take us off course or leave us feeling "off." Sometimes, time is all that is needed; other times, we need more. If you are hurting, anxious, scared, or grieving, you deserve someone who will listen and offer empathy, understanding, and warmth. This is my specialty. Counseling is a collaborative process. The therapeutic relationship between you and me is essential in helping you find new and effective ways of navigating your challenges and reaching your goals.

I believe that the relationship to our self is the most important relationship that we will ever have. A bond with a therapist who witnesses and understands us in a nonjudgmental way can be a wonderful ally in improving that relationship and making positive changes in our lives. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and ancestral/family patterns are just some just some examples that can cause suffering that motivates someone to start therapy. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and other mood disorders that make it difficult to function in life.
