Therapists in Normandy Park, WA

I am a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative therapist. My goal is to build trust with you by creating a safe and supportive environment. You will always be the expert of your life story. I work with a systemic lens. I believe that everyone is impacted by the systems that surround them, which can include their relationships, family, community, and society-at-large. My hope is to partner and collaborate with you to better navigate the challenges you face and support you in your healing and growth journey.

Experienced and insightful, I help clients find their way back to themselves and their relationships by increasing curiosity, compassion, and insight through the ability to self-reflect. Employing mindfulness, emotionally-focused and body-awareness therapies along with traditional talk therapy, I share ways to recognize ineffective patterns, increase somatic and emotional intelligence, understand and develop new coping skills, and enhance empathy and positivity.

Currently accepting new patients, Saturday and evening appointments available. My practice focuses on working with individuals who are processing significant transitions within their lives, particularly those related to developmental processes such as career change, retirement and family care-giving challenges. With an emphasis on creating meaning and exploring new potentials, our work together will help you act intentionally rather than reacting in response to old patterns that may no longer fit the person you are becoming.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

We are taking new clients! View our website to schedule an appointment on our live calendar. Working as a husband and wife team gives you the benefits of both perspectives in a relationship. This eliminates the question of whether should we see a male or female counselor. As Therapists/Life Coaches, we help you reach understanding and compassion in your relationship, heal painful experiences, find new ways of coping with stress, and interact with others. We serve couples in the areas of relationships and sexuality. We offer couples counseling for all relationship issues. We use research-based Gottman Methods.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling in your relationships, dealing with ongoing stress, depression, or anxiety? You're not alone. Life can be incredibly challenging. Taking the step to seek support is tough, and I understand how crucial it is to find the right therapist for you. Our greatest struggles and deepest joys happen in relationships. The quality of our relationships, including those with family, friends, partners, and colleagues, impacts our mental and emotional well-being. Recognizing the complexities inherent in human connections (family, community, society) is central to my therapy practice.

You tell yourself that if you just do everything perfectly, you’ll feel okay. As long as the house is spotless. And your family is ideal (or at least looks that way on social media.) If you always say yes, constantly keep a smile on your face, and never complain about anything – then everything should be fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake this feeling of dread. And all of your efforts to appear perfect are taking a toll. To-do lists never end. No one seems to know the real you. You’re terrified that at any moment, there’ll be a crack in your mask and everyone will see you for who you truly are; this cant go on.

As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation.  Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship.  The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

I've over 20 years experience helping couples and individuals with relationship issues, depression, sexual issues, including porn and sex addiction, and stress management. I have a holistic approach, helping clients examine what they do from when they awake to when they go to bed - what is helpful for their growth and well-being and what would be a better way to handle the challenges of their lives. Life is very challenging. It can be a hard school. Give yourself the gift of receiving compassionate, straightforward guidance.

My heart's desire is for everyone to connect with their innate love, joy, and peace. I believe love and joy are always present within us, they are just often hidden under layers of pain and misunderstanding. Together, we can peel back the layers and bring back your vitality. I love to listen and ask questions, which helps clients get clear on who they are, what they want, and where they are going! You are safe to share your complete (sometimes tangled) truth with me. Tears, laughter, growls, and silence are welcome.

Life does not always flow smoothly. The past, the present, or the future can seem unclear or full of obstacles. People can get stuck, feel trapped, and the road forward is not always in plain sight. There is always a way forward. In my counseling work I am dedicated to helping people advance towards being their optimal selves, towards self-acceptance, and towards achieving their most impossible goals. With experience and specialized training in couples counseling, with mental health disorders, families, and in crisis situations, I utilize the therapeutic relationship in all of my work.
