Self Esteem Therapists in Auburn, WA

Life can be overwhelming, and it can feel like your life is spinning out of control. Counseling is a way to work through life challenges in a safe and confidential way. Finding the right counselor and the therapy that fits you and your life is an important step. My goal is to co-create with you a trusting relationship and a safe space for you to experiment with and experience the growth and changes you are seeking. You can gain perspective, reclaim your strengths, understand why certain patterns arise and help to find ways change those patterns.

I am committed to providing respectful and client-centered counseling. My approach is a good fit for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, relationship issues, low-self esteem, grief, PTSD, OCD, daily stress, and phobia. Over 27 combined years of experience in my pastoral care and mental health counseling profession, I have worked with a diverse group of individuals and couples of various ages, cultures, ethnicities, racial identities, and socioeconomic statuses.

Everything from the anxieties of imposter syndrome, the unknowns of new relationships, to struggles understanding gender/sexual identity; life can be so difficult to navigate while staying true to oneself. It can be even more difficult to find spaces that don't stigmatize and shame. Inside us all, we carry a capacity for change and a unspoken need for growth. Therapy is a journey to develop a greater sense of self to move foward in more meaningful directions.

Clients who work with me experience less critical thoughts, regulate their emotions, and develop a sense of self that aligns with who they ultimately want to be.

Clients often see a positive change in their self-esteem, relationships, communication, and boundaries after our work.

Currently accepting new clients. So many people today are walking around, suffering in silence, beset with doubt, self-loathing, and self-recriminations. Especially now, as so many are being told their country is against them, self-compassion and self-love are very important pieces in our armor against the onslaught of negativity. A piece many are missing. I'd like to help you find it. Come to a place where you are seen and heard for who you are, without having to explain or defend your identity, lifestyle, or sexuality. Come laugh, come cuss, come cry. We can do this.
