Therapists in Olympia, WA

Accepting new clients Mondays. Relationships can be hard, challenging, and at times can feel truly hopeless. There IS hope! Learn to implement key changes and behavior shifts to overcome even the most challenging of obstacles. Rediscover the love and friendship that brought you together in the beginning. As a Therapist/Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I am trained in both psychology and theology, and provide psychological as well as spiritual guidance as requested by clients.

Accepting new clients who can be flexible in scheduling! Healing opens the space between stimulus and response. In that space, we have more time to process what's happening, which gives us more time to choose better responses. Better responses tend to bring much more happiness, and tend to lower the levels of stress in our bodies. For MUCH more about me, Please Visit my WEBSITE where you can EMAIL me via an encrypted link.

I am genuinely interested in guiding my clients to cultivate a greater degree of resilience to life's inevitable challenges. Among other things, I teach clients to utilize mindfulness practices to calibrate their moods, alter their attitudes, develop greater mental flexibility, and improve overall happiness and well being. This approach works as a positive foundation for most issues that bring clients to my counseling office: counteracting depression or anxiety, accepting grief and loss, parenting, improving significant relationships, addressing post-partum mood disorders, and dealing with the challenges of life in general.

If you notice yourself struggling with a specific area of your performance, such as confidence, focus, leadership, resilience, consistency, or you’re trying to generally grow and improve areas of your life, or even working through change, our work together will be transformative. I am a Mental Skills Consultant, meaning our focus together will be directed at improving your life through mentality in an Evidence-Based practice. It will not be clinical or focused on disorders, however, I will provide tools and support to manage, prevent, and cope with many disorders if needed.

Welcome and thanks for visiting!

Some of the work I do in my general practice focuses on managing and problem-solving stress management, anxiety/depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Hello! I applaud your efforts toward continued healing and would be privileged to be a supportive witness on your journey. I specialize in working with adults dealing with anxiety and mild to moderate depression who are motivated to take an active role in their own healing. I offer a safe, supportive, and empowering place for you to meet your current challenges and to make progress on your goals. A strong therapeutic relationship is vital for positive change. I value practicing authenticity, non-judgement, and empathy. I have also prioritized my own healing which allows me to be a more attentive and sincere helper for you.

Bringing your child into counseling can be an unnerving idea. All parents/caregivers want the best for their child, they want them to feel confident, joyful, playful, and most importantly to heal. And let's be real, they also want things to be going better at home or at school! But they're often not sure how to get started. I use a relational neuroscience approach to help parents/caregivers help their children.

Does life feel out of control? The winds of depression, anxiety, relationship distress, emotional and physical infidelity, grief, hopelessness and/or loneliness can make us feel like we don’t have any control over our lives. We cannot direct these winds, but I can help you learn how to adjust your sails. These adjustments will lead you to finding a sense of purpose and direction in your life. Recognizing your value and strength will empower you to be able to face whatever storms might rage. Change is facilitated by understanding our emotions and how they affect not only us, but our relationships as well.

A down-to-earth approach is often what is needed to get to the heart of the struggles in our lives... Psychospiritual growth, relationship issues and somatic (body) awareness are at the core of my working with people. Together we will co-create a sacred space where the depths of your feelings and concerns can be safely explored, processed, and supported. My role will be to accompany and intuitively guide you on this unfolding, transformational journey.

Difficult or abusive relationships leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and unsure of ourselves. You might be fed up with feeling triggered, on-edge, stuck, or like your past is interfering with your life today. You might feel guilty you're not able to show up in your relationships the way you'd like. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is certain: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to heal. Most of all, you’re ready to enjoy your relationships and your life.

Are you feeling stuck, confused...and don’t know how to move forward? I now offer A.R.T. or Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Brainspotting in addition to Clinical Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression. All are truly unique ways of healing and finding relief. Clients are reporting less anxiety, less repetitive thinking, and more calm. More ability to self-regulate and move forward in relationships, work and life.

My ideal client is ready to begin work with a trained professional to develop the mental, emotional and physical self-awareness and improved skills to more readily navigate life's changes and challenges. They want to better understand themselves and their relationships, to develop their own resilience and foster enjoyment in life. This ideal client is focused on healing old wounds so they can cultivating a stronger and more confident sense of who they are in the present. This person is interested in working to explore and discover meaning and satisfaction across the arc of their entire life.

I believe that we are each created to live a life full of hope, to be deeply connected to others through relationship, and live in restoration. However, during our journey through life, situations happen that strain our hope, relationships are broken, and restoration feels distant. My hope is that through therapy, you will begin to turn towards the future by looking at the past. While the journey may feel daunting, my desire is that together, we may find the path forward, one step at at time.

Life is an ongoing journey of growth and opportunity. Throughout these opportunities, we are met with challenges. Often these challenges are the catalyst for the growth opportunities we were not necessarily seeking. I believe it is in these moments that we get to dig deep, transform, and come out on the other side victorious, even if we had to get there kicking and screaming. We are resilient people, and sometimes we need to be reminded of that. My role as a therapist is to support my clients and challenge them to keep putting forth the effort and to claim the victory that is waiting for them on the other side of their challenges.

In my work as a therapist, I rely on: compassion, creativity, curiosity, honesty, patience, kindness, and humor. I am fond of working with Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and with whatever it was Carl Whitaker was up to. I consider my practice to be an invitation to work with people of all: ages, backgrounds, identities and expressions, which in part means I work with kids and teens. My pronouns are typically he/him.
