BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Vancouver, WA

I work with children, adolescents and families. This includes family conflict, reunification therapy, and divorce. I work from a strengths based perspective, using the skills and strengths that an individual already posses to assist in managing current challenge(s) and identified goals. My work is brief in nature, I believe that most people possess the skills they need to improve their lives, but can use some guidance, education or simply some support in order to apply those skills correctly.

I help men and couples overcome porn addiction, sex addiction, infidelity, or betrayal trauma. You are not alone. There is hope. You can conquer this, it just takes a lot of work. I will help you start new habits, change your thinking, and deepen your connection to others as ways of healing from your pain, whether it is self-inflicted or from your partner. Recovery is a long, hard road. We will get you unstuck from old patterns of behavior, emotional self-medicating, and insecure attachment. You can feel proud of who you are and what you offer to the world and the key people in your life.

At one time or another, we all find ourselves stuck and struggling to move ahead. We have learned to cope and move through our lives using tools and coping mechanisms that have worked in some ways, but have not allowed us to feel grounded, comfortable, or fully happy with our lives as we progress through them. My job is to work collaboratively with you to create safety and trust through which we can help you develop skills and gain insights, allowing you to reclaim happiness and comfort in your life. I am most passionate about supporting people dealing with Anxiety, Grief, and Life Transition issues.

Do you feel like an outsider? Do you want to feel secure letting someone else help carry your worries? Are you ready for help with organizing the slurry of overwhelm, burnout, shame, trauma, bullying, stress overload, or anger? Many of us - myself included - aren't inherently good at knowing "how to human," and many of us weren't taught how to feel safe with our emotions - big or small. Let's work together to tackle the hard stuff in a validating and warm environment with no judgement.

What does it mean to prioritize your mental health? I ask this question to help shed light on one of the most effective ways to handle life's challenges and unresolved trauma. Therapy opens doors to unlimited possibilities, your ideal self. I focus on helping my clients step outside themselves and explore hidden aspects of who they are. The fear of the unknown is real and therapy allows you to traverse that journey with a facilitator, someone you can reach out to in a crisis.

Welcome! I am glad that you’re choosing to prioritize yourself by looking for ways to create the change that you desire and deserve. It would be my pleasure to partner with you in your journey and assist in finding the path to change that is fitting for you.

My approach to counseling involves a direct and socratic style, employing various cognitive-behavioral methods to challenge clients and equip them with enduring tools for success. I’m dedicated to helping clients understand that our well-being is intricately linked to our beliefs and choices as we strive to fulfill our fundamental needs for survival, love, importance, and variety. Collaboratively, I work with each client to determine the most effective means of supporting them in meeting these needs through the power of choice.

Providing caring support tailored to each person's needs is always my focus for therapy.
