Therapists in Hough, Vancouver, WA

I see a wide range of clients, although I specialize in childhood trauma and CPTSD, relationships, anxiety, ADHD, and LGBTQ issues. I work with adults, children, and adolescents, individually or as couples/family. Therapy focus may include relationship conflict, anxiety control, satisfaction in both your personal life and work, focus and motivation, and building a sense of "feeling whole" or "complete." I've helped countless clients move from a place of feeling stuck and dissatisfied, to one of happiness and flourishing. I also offer specialized care to transgender and questioning clients, including transition-related counseling.

As someone who used to be a nurse, I have a special interest in other healthcare professionals and burnout/moral injury, vicarious trauma, and COVID-19 related stressors. I also work with clients who have experienced any kind of trauma in their lives, anxiety, depression, substance use, or disordered eating. I believe in a collaborative, integrative, and holistic approach to support and encourage recovery goals. I strive to help others overcome obstacles through mental health education, psychotherapy, community advocacy, and self-empowerment.

I love to aid individuals, couples and LGBTQ+ relationships, and families with achieving the change they desire through a tailored and integrative approach. It is a privilege to see my clients flourish through treatment and to provide a safe, nonjudgemental space where self-discovery and personal growth can be achieved through a strong therapeutic relationship.

Welcome! Making the choice to prioritize yourself and invest in your well-being is a big step and I am glad you're here. I have a passion for and primarily work with women who are looking to reconnect with themselves. Women who are leaders in all aspects of life, be it concurring the school drop-off line, being a boss or managing the day to day. Women who are looking for tools or to develop coping strategies to manage anxiety, life transitions, communication and more. I also enjoy working with healthcare workers in the areas of stress management and identification or refresh of the “why” related to the work that they do.

I practice a dynamic style of therapy that is rooted in creating a supportive, caring environment where we establish a good working relationship that fosters self-awareness and insight. I work in-depth with you to discover how past family experiences may (often unconsciously) influence present day issues. We work to understand how difficult situations of the past contribute to longstanding frequently dysfunctional behavior patterns or negative self-perceptions. Therapy can help heal painful emotional wounds and relieve symptoms, improve self-acceptance and coping, improve relationship quality and overall life and work satisfaction.

I enjoy spending time with clients who are interested in learning more about themselves and their inner world in order to step into their full potential. Growth, healing, and truth-seeking are important aspects to counseling. Clients invested in focusing on solutions by altering their mindset and actions to create a more peaceful, sustainable, and productive life for themselves are ideal and welcome in my space.

Relationships are what bring us joy in our lives, but sometimes despite our best efforts we come upon a stumbling block. We find ourselves struggling or unable to connect to those we love and sometimes even to ourselves. Maybe issues from past relationships get in the way, maybe there is a trauma to the relationship (such as illness, job loss, or simply entering a new stage of life such as parenthood or midlife). There may have been an infidelity, loss of job, or emotional issues such as depression / anxiety. Often we just feel a lack of connection we once had.

Resolving relationship, cultural and communication issues can increase your self awareness to bring opportunities for growth and enjoyment. If you feel lonely and unsure why, let’s explore how to bring joy to your life, starting at our first meeting. I work with parents/families, couples and individuals. My main focus is RO-DBT, an evidenced based approach to help with issues related to "overcontrol". I also use supplementary techniques for changing habits, improving communication and reducing inner conflict.

Are you struggling to form deep connections or find fulfillment in your relationships? Whether trauma has impacted your ability to connect or you're facing challenges in dating, I offer a supportive and empathetic approach to guide you on your journey. My work is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, with a special emphasis on using EMDR to address underlying issues that may be affecting your relationships. I also have a keen interest in helping individuals navigate parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and the emotional toll of infertility.

Welcome to my page! I appreciate therapy because it is a way to learn and grow. Each of us has a mind, heart, and emotions so it makes a lot of sense to learn about how our mind and body work. It is also a courageous act. It takes courage to reach out, courage to feel uncomfortable emotions and courage to embark on change. The foundation of my therapy approach is self-compassion; it is the desire to understand ourselves from a place of curiosity rather than criticism. As we begin the change process it can be easy for clients' self-criticism to increase therefore, we will develop your ability to treat yourself with kindness.

Accepting New Clients! I work with adults (18+) who are looking to overcome challenges, define their identities, and unlock their potential. I have a soft spot for serving the 'outsiders': LGBTQIA2S+ folks, kink and fetish enjoyers, sex workers. I'm also a believer in the power of relational healing - we're not meant to go through this life alone. With a mix of somatic therapy practices, I aim to help you find your own path and growth.

As a queer therapist and current PhD student in clinical sexology, I bring a deep understanding and specialized expertise to my practice. My areas of focus include LGBTQ-related issues, men's issues, sex, substance use disorder, trauma, and working with sexual offenders, both juveniles and adults. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, ensuring a safe space for healing and growth.

I have a passion for working with young adults 18-35 and adolescents 13 and older, who are exploring their identities and trying to create their place in the world. Whether this includes healing past trauma, increasing coping skills or changing relational patterns, our work together can address a variety of topics, like increasing healthy coping strategies for anxiety and depression, breaking the cycle of perfectionism and self-judgment, increasing self-compassion, LGBTQIA+ identity exploration, family of origin issues and learning how to set healthy boundaries in relationships.

I have a deep passion for helping trauma survivors, combat veterans, and people who are struggling with addiction to accomplish and sustain meaningful recoveries in their lives. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe therapeutic space to help them achieve their goals. The most rewarding thing for me as a therapist is helping a client work through and heal from the trauma and shame that is so commonly the underlying cause of their substance use, addiction, or mental health challenges.
