At Barzey Consulting and Counseling, you will have a safe and peaceful space, and a person you can trust to speak your truth and tell your story.

Therapy outdoors is grounding, expansive, and empowering. We meet in forests and on beaches where our connection to nature can enhance your growth and healing. If you’re feeling stuck in anxious and depressive, possibly trauma-based patterns, or if the changes you want to make have been confined by the therapy room or the computer screen, therapy with/in nature has something for you. Research and wisdom shows that our bodies and minds settle when we are mindful of nature. This healing is grounded in anti-oppression and anti-racist values, and offers respect & gratitude to the Lummi, Nooksack and Coast Salish people.

Does it feel like something just isn't quite right in life? Oftentimes, we can feel burnt out by the expectations and pressures from our lives. I work with teens, adults and couples living with anxiety, PTSD (C-PTSD), depression, perfectionism, challenging parent relationships and ongoing life stressors. We can work together to heal these symptoms and understand the root of your pain to find freedom in your true self. Together, we seek to have a deeper connection to your life that is compassionate and promotes agency in order to restore and create safe relationships with others.

In relationship with counseling participants, my approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and I draw on somatic and mindfulness-based interventions. This means that you can expect a non-judgemental environment to increase your understanding of self with the belief that each participant has their own force for therapeutic change within themselves.

Accepting TWO new couples counseling clients / Individual client caseload is full. You and your partner are regularly exhausted by eachothers emotions. You feel as though you have no space in your life. You are so hesitant of "going there" because you're afraid you'll get swallowed up in the process. You are drained from carrying so much for so long. You’re not even quite sure who you are and you don’t know where to start. Despite all of this there is a faint voice inside you that hopes for something more - from yourself and from your relationship.

Have you ever wondered why a misunderstanding or hurtful experience with someone important in your life produces such strong, painful emotions? Do you have memories of past traumatic experiences pop up and bite you on a regular basis? Would you like to have more fulfilling relationships? If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” I specialize in relationships and trauma. Relationships are the single most common reason we experience strong feelings and reactions. If you want to feel close again to your significant other, and/or end the merry-go-round of chaos from traumatic memories of your past, we may be a good fit!

I entered the profession of counseling because I believe, despite the worst circumstances experienced in life, people can find hope. Maybe you have found yourself or your child struggling through a difficult experience such as a loss or a trauma and you need someone to come alongside as you learn to live again. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, hopelessness, or shame and are not able to manage this on your own. Maybe you struggle with an eating disorder or an addiction of some sort and have been unable to overcome this by yourself. I am here to help.

I love working with the seekers - the ones who are feeling stuck in relationships or patterns, who have as deep a desire to understand as to move beyond. I am here for the psychologically curious - those who want insight and meaning while they strive to create a life that isn't painful all the time. Your pain needs to be tended to, but your capacity for joy and fun and play must simultaneously be cultivated. Life is complicated and problematic. Our power lies in our creative and flexible responses to our setbacks.

As a licensed counselor in Washington state helping clients learn how to understand and bring more clarity to their mental, emotional, and physical, challenges.

Over the past 15 years, I've helped hundreds of couples and individuals create emotional security, happiness, and connection through evidence-based and empirically validated therapy methods.

Sometimes it is really hard to persist. Making change or accepting reality can be confusing. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary. With empathy and an anti-oppression approach, I can help you examine what's keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, frozen, or confused. I specialize in working people who move through the world differently, particularly trans and queer people.

Our subconscious mind holds the memories and perceptions of every experience from childhood to adulthood. As we continue our journey, the unresolved past continues to affect our bodies negatively and influence our thoughts, behaviors, and everyday life on an unconscious level. We may not understand why we feel or react as we do to certain situations or why the same patterns show up every time and unexplained symptoms and circumstances keep repeating themselves. Often this prevents us from moving forward with our lives, achieving clarity and authenticity.

I Am Currently Accepting New Clients. It can be hard to find the right counselor! Where does one begin? I have helped hundreds of clients overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and a variety of complex issues in a private practice setting for over a decade. I appreciate authentic and honest clients that are interested in a safe space to do the hard work to change their life. Therapy is always designed to get you to your goal.

I specialize in facilitating the transformation of acute, complex and developmental trauma through honing and honoring intuition and connection with body, mind and spirit. The way back from emotional overwhelm occurs through reconnecting to our vital self, community and awakening or deepening our connection with the more than human world. Together we will work to identify the root causes of negative behaviors and beliefs, while learning to regulate the nervous system and rewire the brain for maximum vitality and coherence.

You’ve felt different from others most of your life. You’re tired of being told you are too sensitive. You feel too much. You require so much more alone time and downtime than most people. You have struggled to fit in, trying to please others, but this has sometimes caused you to feel deeply hurt. It’s exhausting and lonely being the person others often seek for support without reciprocating. You’re an old soul and you see the world differently. But the world seems so unkind in return. You’ve given so much and worked so hard but continue to feel unseen by those you care about. I see you.
