Therapists in Washington

As a therapist, my goal is to help you lead a meaningful, fulfilling life. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experience and that your values, beliefs, and background have a powerful impact on your life and worldview. I view therapy as a collaboration where we will work together to identify what matters most to you and to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. To do this, we will define specific treatment goals and targets as we begin to work together. We will also check in throughout the process to ensure that therapy continues to be helpful and enriching for you.

Are you struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or having difficulty coping? Do you feel stuck or triggered by past trauma? Is trauma holding you back from the life that you desire? Maybe you don’t feel able to connect with those you love, experience joy, or feel present in your day. You are not alone. I’m here to collaborate with you and help you find the hope and peace you are looking for. This is not traditional talk therapy. I create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. I will aid you in developing the coping skills you need and helping you process the experiences of your past.

I believe that everyone has an inner strength and that you are the "expert" of your life. We will work together to find and enhance your strengths and identify areas in your life that you would like to make changes.

I am out-of-country 12/14-12/31. I will not be scheduling intakes nor consults during this time. Please include in an inquiry name, number, insurance and availability. I will schedule consults when I return. Thank you! I help busy women, moms, First Responders, those living with chronic illness, and trauma to live fuller lives, process trauma, decrease anxiety and depression, thrive, and find Joy again! I work in CBT, CPT, and ACT therapy protocols for PTSD, anxiety and depression as well as chronic health. I also coach high-performing women to go from burnout to breakthrough in their careers, with less stress.

You want to appear strong, but deep down you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and doubtful of yourself. You’re someone who works hard and is intentional in all that you do, but you still find yourself facing the same issues from your past again and again. You want better for yourself, even if you’re not exactly sure what that might look like. So, you are ready to make a change. You’re ready to experience relief from your past. You’re ready to build rich, meaningful relationships with yourself and others. You’re ready to face your future, connected fully to yourself, with complete access to peace, joy, and hope.

With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I help individuals and couples discover, create, and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. However, I have worked with many mental health issues over the years and frequently work with stress, addiction, motivation, intimacy issues, family conflict, life changes/adjustments, grief, communication issues, emotional regulation, parenting, self-esteem, and personal growth and discovery. I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, couples and families.

Are you living the life you desire? Are you paralyzed by anxiety or depression? Do you want to find more peace, fun, and intimacy in your personal relationships? Anais Nin once said, "There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This quote underscores my belief that change and growth are available to us all; we simply have to be willing for the process to unfold. You can create the life that you want. I will help you get there.

Hypnosis creates a natural bridge between mind and body, and it's a proven method for relieving pain, improving sleep, releasing anxiety, and replacing self-sabotage with new choices. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention creating a heightened openness and awareness. This state allows the mind to gently access deep creative resources, and in clinical hypnosis, we can then apply these resources to your goals for change.

My passion lies in supporting people to learn the skills necessary to live their best life at every stage. There are times in life when a professional perspective is needed, and my goal is to provide for psychosocial and emotional healing, helping to navigate difficult circumstances and provide for a supportive environment where each individual can achieve growth and fulfillment on their terms.

As a metaphysical psychotherapist and holistic healer, my work lies in the intersection of spirituality and the embodied human experience. I offer a loving space for high-vibrational healing – healing that honors your lived human experience, as well as your divine, intuitive knowing. I help clients get back into their bodies to reconnect with their innate wisdom and intuition, and attune to their own inner guidance system. When we cultivate an awareness of both our divinity and humanity, we become who we intended to be: whole, authentic, embodied. We gift our unique beauty to ourselves and the world.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by habits and mindsets that you can't seem to get out of? Have you tried all the techniques but still can't seem to shake the anxious thoughts that invade your mind? Do you often find yourself triggered from a past experience or relationship that keeps surfacing and stopping you in your tracks? Do you continue to return to relationship patterns and relationship choices that you told yourself you would never engage in again? Do you struggle with self worth and body image? Do you feel overall stuck and like there is deeper work that needs to be done?

Welcome! My practice starts from a strength-based, solution-focused approach & utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to best support your needs. I work with a variety of issues such as trauma, attachment issues, anxiety & depression, relationship issues, women’s issues, and self-esteem/worth challenges.

My strength is in making you feel supported and accepted, by using a person-centered, collaborative approach to help you find a way forward out of habitual but ineffective ways of coping with life events. Coping with inevitable life change can be painful and difficult, resulting in anxiety, depression and other forms of distress. My specialty is facilitating and guiding the process of developing an understanding of the varied life influences that have brought you to this point and to help you change habitual but unsatisfactory patterns of behavior.

Finding a "good fit" is essential when looking for a therapist. You should feel safe to be your authentic self without feeling judgment. I believe the client/therapist relationship is primary for healing and effective work. Within that relationship, I consider you the expert on your own life. While thoughtfully listening, I will also offer insights, invitations to try something new, and help you in building new skills and finding solutions. People tend to find me warm, accepting, and engaging.

Welcoming New Clients- Change is difficult, I understand that and want to help. If you are feeling overwhelmed or distressed in life, it is important you know you do not have to carry this load alone. Seeking help in times of need demonstrates strength and a desire for growth. I would be honored to be your ally as you take that important first step towards healing and change. Currently, I work with adults who are experiencing life stage transitions (i.e. becoming a new parent, empty nesting etc.), coping with anxiety, depression, navigating difficult relationships, grief and more. I see clients both in-person and online.

An turas is Irish for the journey. It is an honor to join you on your path toward healing and wholeness, integration, and healthy relationships with yourself and others. There are many things that can bring us to counseling - stress and anxiety, life transitions, relational challenges, experiences of trauma or loss, and a desire to live in more authentic and meaningful ways.
