Therapists in Lake Stevens, WA

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

In all stages of life, we undergo changes, transitions can be difficult. Lauralie can assist in smoothing out the anxieties or depression from loss with these changes.

Life was not meant to be a struggle with chronic pain, don't let pain stop your activities and pursuits.

As we adapt to the ‘new normal,’ many of us are experiencing increased feelings of anxiety, grief, and loneliness. You're not alone if the details of recent events (e.g., climate change, COVID, and socio-political unrest) have you feeling lost and overwhelmed. You're also not alone if it's more challenging to invest energy towards your self care and personal growth - or if it has become more difficult to focus and complete tasks at school and/or work as a result. Restoring a sense of balance in your life and reconnecting with your best self is within reach - and you'll soon learn to navigate our 'new normal' with a renewed purpose.

My practice is Buddhist psychotherapy which uses deep inquiry, self awareness and meditation. My goals for therapy are, first, to alleviate suffering and second to deal with symptoms. Then we can address personal growth and existential issues. Most of the work is done in the present moment and is little dependent on our past. The work usually goes quickly and very directly... but sometimes we need to go slow. A typical successful series might be 10-12 meetings. Spiritual matters are usually an important area of concern...What's really important? Is our behavior congruent with those values? So, tell me about that...

Monday at 4:00pm available in person or online- Thursday at 3:00 in person or online ———-I’ve found that therapy is most powerful when there is a combination of traditional western methodology and eastern philosophy practices. Together, we’ll discuss who you are. I’ll form questions that provide insight into your systems, and patterns. We’ll discuss family of origin. Time and time again. We’ll talk about diet; we’ll talk about love. We’ll discuss death. Together we’ll uncover aspects of your human experience and award you the opportunity to look further inward.

I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences, reacquainting yourself from Covid isolation, or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your emotional needs aside in this process, or you just haven’t had the time, desire, understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I’d like to offer a safe space to truly slow down. A space to make for yourself where you can allow yourself to be seen and heard even if just for an hour a week.

I am most skilled at working through trauma and helping clients understand why they have the issues they do. I can help you identify the real source of your issues, so you can begin to transform your life. I also do a lot of work around gender exploration.

For me, “psychotherapy has to do with…people playing together.” My therapeutic approach is grounded in practicality, metaphor, and paradox. Whether you want to examine your relationship to archetypes and epic tales, investigate the mundane and extraordinary beauty in doing the dishes, or delve into your style of relating to another being: bring all of it - it is welcome and deserving of your attention. Fundamentally, I am fascinated by people - our stories, our journeys and our capacities for grace and awe.
