Regence Therapists in Normandy Park, WA
Endeavoring to improve your emotional quality of life takes bravery. I am happy to see the scales tipping in favor of mental health in recent years, however, we must acknowledge asking for mental health support has been culturally counter intuitive for generations. Reaching out for counseling and consultation is the first and most important step. As humans it really is ok to say that sometimes we "aren't always ok". Shame does not actually exist in the same space of asking for help.

As someone who has worked helping others in various capacities for over 30 years, I bring a great deal of experience to my work as a mental health counselor. In this time I have obtained great insight into the struggles inherent to both individuals and families. In my work as a counselor I utilize these skills and insight to help people of all ages, identities, and walks of life. My approach to counseling is not confined to one specific framework but incorporates a variety of modalities tailored to each client's unique needs. I am humanistic in style and often utilize mindfulness based strategies for increased insight and awareness.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in positive regard: I recognize that each client has a complex history and am committed to creating an environment where you can openly explore your internal and external experiences, free from judgment and criticism. I prioritize a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where you can retain autonomy and agency throughout the process. Above all, the quality of the therapeutic relationship can often be the biggest contributing factor to successful therapeutic outcomes, so it’s okay to be picky!

My belief is that we are all human trying to learn and grow in an ever changing environment. Change for some can be difficult to cope with and result in maladaptive coping skills and other mental health concerns when emotions overwhelm us. I believe that the therapy relationship should always be collaborative and I approach every individual differently to meet their needs with where they are in life. In the therapy process we will assess your different environments and relationships to help understand your current barriers you are seeking help with.

Anxiety is awful. Most people just do not understand how difficult it is to live with chronic worry, panic attacks, or obsessive thoughts and unwanted behavior. Gladly, most people will never have to know how horrible it is to have nagging obsessive thoughts, or fear panicking in public places. The variety of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) like Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are quite effective in increasing distress tolerance, reducing anxiety, and eliminating the dysfunctional behaviors that accompany it.

Life sometimes presents with challenges and obstacles that seem impossible to get through. One may often times feel alone and that there's nowhere to turn; but there truly is. I look at the whole individual and their experience as unique and focus on helping the person reveal their true self; the person they always wanted to be.

My approach involves meeting each individual person where they are when they start therapy and forming a warn collaborative relationship. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which people can explore the concerns that brought them into psychotherapy. Relationships are complex and people often want to understand more about how they interact with others and evolve in a way that promotes having better relationships.

I believe in tailoring the therapy to meet each client's individual needs. I primarily use psychodynamic therapy which helps the client gain self-insight but also use a variety of therapeutic techniques including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral methods. Being able to stand back from one's self and gain perspective about one's personality, choices and actions are important in helping an individual work through issues. I help the client explore what issues from the past or present may be contributing to depression or anxiety.

Inner work is essentially about reclaiming who we actually are - gathering back the parts of ourselves we have lost to trauma, addiction, people pleasing or even the sense of emptiness that can develop over time when life is not deeply lived. Perhaps you have a longing to know yourself beyond these patterns; maybe you are sensitive or a seeker, and struggle with depression and anxiety as a result, or you simply crave more meaning in daily life and relationships. Perhaps you sense that a great journey needs to be undertaken, but as with all great journeys, it helps to have companions along the way.

I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, particularly women who discover their ADHD later in life. For many, receiving a diagnosis is not about finding something "wrong", it's about finally finding an explanation that brings clarity, validation, and self-compassion after years of feeling misunderstood. As a late-diagnosed woman with ADHD myself, I understand both the challenges and the relief that can come with finally making sense of your experiences. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, advocate for your needs, and cultivate confidence, authenticity, and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
