Accepting New Clients and providing telehealth-only services. 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.

My ideal client is a person looking to improve their communication and mental health. They may have issues with accurately understanding and responding to other people, engaging with other people, or effectively analyzing and utilizing language commuinicaton skills. Their needs include efficient and accurate mental health, as well as the ability to integrate their coping skills capabilities into their existing systems and workflows. Their goals include improved satisfaction, increased productivity and efficiency, and the ability to make decisions. They want a reliable therapist to help empower them to grow.

With seventeen years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, I have worked in schools, residential treatment centers, and outpatient settings, as well as on-site, in-home, and community locations. I enjoy working with all ages and specialize in children's mental health. My role as a therapist includes offering you (or you and your child, or your family) active listening, reflection, encouragement, helpful challenges, and constructive feedback. I use a positive relationship to support you or your child as you explore and express yourself.

I'm a depth psychotherapist who facilitates healing and transformation through gentle but honest mutual work with emotions, behaviors, imagery, grounding, memory, story, presence, and hope. It's an honor and a privilege to be a partner in my client's journey toward deep inner healing. In my practice, I help individuals and couples dive beneath the surface issues, discover the underlying sources of distress, and re-emerge into a more fulfilling life. I'd like to join you on your journey where you already are, and help you find opportunities for symptom relief, growth, and healing.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Let's be real… parenting is hard and admitting that it's hard doesn't mean you love your kids any less. It's hard to watch them struggle at home, at school, and in the community. It’s hard to feel like you are being judged as a parent and your child misunderstood, attending hours of appointments, and slowly feeling more isolated because of your child’s “behaviors”. It's hard because you're not sure how to help them. You know that your child wants to do well, but they struggle with meeting the world’s expectations. No-one seems to really get what it's like for them, or for you, and you feel alone in your quest to better understand.

I have heard from so many people that they have tried therapy before, or they are afraid to, because they don't want to talk to someone who is "stuffy" or "technical". I love working with people who aren't afraid to let loose and just be themselves in session. I love working with people across all ages with a sweet spot for young adults as well as those with alternative lifestyles and or spiritual beliefs.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have practiced for the last 9 years in Washington. I graduated with my Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Washington University (2015). I have worked with families in many different situations and settings (in-home, community and schools). I am also a clinical supervisor for a team of therapists. My background includes working with families involved with the child welfare system. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family issues, family conflict, and parenting concerns.

My clients seek a therapist who is anti-racist, body-positive, kink and identity-affirming. I specialize in working with survivors of childhood abuse, folks with complex trauma, and queer & trans folks. Often the work is around self-awareness, life patterns, identity development, stress responses, self-image, trauma release and around trans identity. I work primarily within the IFS model of therapy, incorporating attachment, psychodynamic and DBT therapies where approproate. I approach all of the work I do with an anti-pathologizing, harm-reduction and gate-opening lens. I offer Telehealth only, and I do not take insurance.

I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced grief and loss around relationships, illness and life transitions. As someone who has experienced my own grief and loss I understand that we as individuals need space, empathy and support from others. I honor your experience and will partner with you on your journey toward healing. I believe that from loss can come renewed strength and hope. You are supported in a safe and nonjudgmental space with me. Through pain can come great clarity around your priorities, goals and what is most important to you. You will discover how you have survived and can thrive moving forward.

The most important thing you should know about me is that I am passionate about life. If you're ready to stop existing and start living. Allow me to help you resolve the issues that prevent you from reaching self-actualization and living up to your full potential. If you're unable to cope with difficult issues & want to make changes contact me.

All clients are ideal clients. We are not individuals who are broken that need to be fixed, we are humans having a human experience and we are constantly in a state of change and transitions that have sometimes served us and sometimes not. Clients who seem to work well with me are ones that are motivated to make changes and comfortable with awareness of self. I work from a developmental trauma, attachment theory and shame basis of therapy. I offer emotionally focused therapy towards childhood trauma. I am currently only offering telehealth.

Allow yourself to experience changes through the seasons of life! As a counselor, it is my delight to come alongside clients and encourage them to transition through life's challenges. I believe that people can transform, weather the storms of life, and gain tools and insights to help them do so. I provide a safe environment, filled with compassion and empathy, in which clients can share their hearts, their fears, their dreams, and their stories.

The greatest gift you can give your child is a healthy you . Whether you are a parent or hope to be someday, whether your children are grown and have kids of their own, this statement has value to all of us, let it motivate you to start working on a healthier you. I am a therapist specializing in Talk therapy, Neurofeedback, and EMDR. I believe that integrating these modalities makes treatment more effective than traditional talk therapy alone.

I have a heart to help equip women and teen girls who are hurting to live a life of growth, acceptance and, ultimately, healing. My passion is to help you identify destructive behaviors and grow in self-awareness, learn healthy ways of processing and communicating, establish healthy boundaries in your personal life and in relationships, grow in self-worth, and create stability in your life.
