Therapists for Adults in Olympia, WA
My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help. Working with couples to save, restore, or provide maintenance is my passion. There’s nothing in the world quite like trauma and the way it impacts us as individuals on many different levels. I can help you deal with and navigate these painful memories and intrusive thoughts to live a healthier life. If you are a parent struggling with a child or family problems, I believe I can connect with and help teach both parent and child to help you be a more successful family unit.

I have been practicing since 2016 helping young adults and older clients manage various difficulties in life.
Life events and changes can bring waves of overwhelm, anxiety, uncertainty, and even a sense of losing direction. It’s natural to feel challenged, especially as you navigate new experiences and shifts in your personal identity. Despite doing your best to stay afloat, there may be a part of you that craves something more—a life with deeper connections, fulfilling relationships, and a stronger, more assured sense of self. You deserve to feel empowered—strong, self-reliant, and truly in control of your own path.

The people I work with in therapy tend to be ready to make profound changes in their lives. Most come to therapy wanting to change some part of themselves, such as old patterns, feelings, or limiting beliefs that keep them from feeling good and being the person they want to be. So, the aim of therapy is often to unburden and transform whatever is in the way of feeling calm, peace, patience, acceptance, forgiveness, clarity, compassion, love, joy, playfulness, excitement for life, confidence, trust, connection, optimism, purpose, gratitude, and freedom to be one’s authentic self.

Trusting yourself and exploring what is your own desire, rather than outsourcing it to others, is invaluable. Psychotherapy provides a space to reflect on what feels true, identify emotions in your body, and consider your relationship and behavior patterns that confusingly repeat despite efforts to change.
It is a space to honor your own complexity, in a container where it can be reflected back to you with compassion. You can make connections and have a deeper understanding of what it means to live within your own history and gain choice in areas that previously felt restricted. It is an adventure in what it means to be human.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
