Adults Therapists in Woodland, WA

I am an experienced Marriage and Family therapist who has worked in mental health for over 20 years. I have worked with patients who have displayed ADD, ADHD, ODD and GAD symptoms and adults who have been dealing with severe major depressive and anxiety disorders, at this time I work exclusively with adults. I have worked with psychotic behaviors and disorders, suicide and self-harming behaviors. Recently I have encountered many patients that have been severely impacted by the COVID epidemic regarding deficits in all areas of their lives.

I see adults, teens, and children in my practice. Trauma, addiction, and burnout/vicarious trauma are my primary areas of focus with adults. The adults I see are typically looking to resolve childhood trauma, develop healthier relationships, or manage anxiety related to high-stress occupations (first responders, social workers, nurses, teachers, etc). The children and teens I see are often impacted by depression/anxiety, coping with divorce or loss of a caregiver, and/or living with the impact of substance use by a family member.
