Teletherapy for Washington

Life can be difficult, but having the right support along the way can make all the difference. I believe that everyone has the strength and ability to create meaningful growth and lasting change. I work with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-worth, burnout, relationship dynamics, and specific phobias. I am passionate about helping clients recognize and change unhelpful patterns while also healing the underlying trauma from the past that often shows up in the present.

You want therapy that doesn't feel like therapy. And rather than worksheets, breathing exercises, and affirmations you want actionable steps, guidance, and direction. Let's face it, anything you ever wanted to know about coping skills, mindfulness, attachment styles, and many other therapy buzzwords is readily available on the internet and social media. Someone to guide you through how to actually apply these concepts to your life in a way that makes sense for you-not so much. And finding a therapist that does more than repeat back what you say in a calming tone and tell you how "resilient" you are is even harder.

The fact that you're looking for a counselor means you're ready to start making some changes for the better. I counsel adult individuals who are dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to fears and counterproductive behaviors. If you're faced with grief and loss or other life changes, or struggles with relationships, I'm here to help you find the way forward. I want you to know there is hope. Always.

Sometimes life can feel a bit overwhelming and cause you to feel alone. I believe that asking for help takes courage and is a powerful move in making a difference in your life. You do not have to go through the struggles of life alone. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where you are the master of your life, and I am joining along for the ride. I hope we can work together to find the answers you may be looking for within you. I am here to help with any life challenges you may be going through.

Maybe you have an unexplained fear or sadness and you do not know why? Maybe you do know why, but that hasn’t helped you. Maybe you feel stressed and overwhelmed in your relationship(s) (wife, husband, partner, son, daughter, friend, or coworker). Maybe someone you loved has broken it off with you. Maybe someone dear to you has died. Maybe someone has hurt you. I know I have had such experiences. They are part of life. What you, I, or anyone else must do is to be able to live with it in spite of our hardships. This is where I come in. You do not have to go through hardship alone. We were never meant to.

Life is hard. We are all on a search for meaning and purpose. I work to create an open and comfortable place where clients can work through their struggles to better their lives and heal relationships. Therapy is challenging and I believe that growth is found in this challenge. The only goal is helping you move forward with fulfillment and joy. My personal worldview comes from following Jesus, but my goal is to be with you as you work through life whatever your background, faith, or life story is. My desire is to walk with people through hard times. We all go through them and sometimes we just need a hand.

We all experience struggles in life. I believe sometimes we just need a bit of help to overcome them. I am an authentic strength-based and solution-focused counselor who aims to assist my clients in them using strengths to find solutions and overcome whatever those struggles may be. I value staying open-minded, warm, authentic, and honest with my clients. I want to give you space to express yourself and feel safe. I see the world in "grey” not black and white. When facing challenges I believe there are many paths to improvement. As your counselor, I aim to help and empower you to explore them so you can move toward a better place.

Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing emotional pain or stress, even confusion about a situation or about yourself. Life challenges can pile up and seem overwhelming. Worry can interfere with relationships, work, and sleep. One goal of therapy is to relieve stress and every session should offer greater understanding of issues and relief in some way. Maybe you feel all alone with your concerns—it’s normal to feel that way. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place to be heard, and for you to feel safe with all of your feelings and thoughts, even those that you might feel are strange.

Please call 253-352-2480 or email me directly at inner.wellth@yahoo.com to schedule an intake or a free consultation for 15 minutes. It can be a scary thing to reach out for help and support! You might feel like there might be judgment or misunderstanding! Maybe you're puzzled as to why you haven't reached your goals, wondering what's holding you back? What are the barriers? I also offer EMDR and ART (accelerated resolution therapy) if we feel you're "stuck". Maybe you've never considered what you really want in life? Are you in a transition in life? I'd love to help you get to where you want to go!

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

I have collaborated both with people working to address co-occurring substance use and mental health issues & many others addressing only one or the other. I am motivated by people seeking to change the way they walk through the world and the lens through which they view their world and themselves in it. Using a cognitive behavioral approach and emphasis on mindfulness, I strive to meet my clients where they are in their lives and help them move forward to where they want to be.

My ideal clients are individuals grappling with mental health challenges, seeking to explore the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets as a metabolic intervention for symptom reduction. They are motivated to integrate metabolic, functional, and nutritional strategies with psychotherapy to address issues like mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and cognitive function. These clients are looking for a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to improve their mental well-being and meet their wellness goals.

Lately, life feels like an endless grind. You have lots of responsibilities and you don't see them vanishing anytime soon. You can identify with some or all of these feelings – depressed, anxious, emotionally volatile, flat, heavy, exhausted, nervous, depleted, unmotivated. It’s likely that you’ve tried a number of different things to help yourself – self-help books, “wellness” podcasts, yoga, medication, even therapy. While these things may have helped somewhat, you still find yourself struggling to feel joy, ease and contentment on a consistent basis. In fact, you hate to admit it but hopelessness is a familiar friend.

Do you struggle with not feeling happy, fulfilled with your life? Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-worth? Do you struggle with fatigue and low energy?

Do you struggle to feel fully present in your work and relationships? My passion in being a therapist is helping people who don’t feel good about themselves and/or their lives. They may struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, have challenges with addiction(s) and unresolved trauma.
