Spirituality Therapists in Renton, WA

I believe that the client is the expert of their own lives. I find great importance in taking into consideration the historical and current social, political, economic, and cultural impacts on each client. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space for each of my clients where they feel received whilst working toward their definition of healing in the process. My goal is to support clients in stepping into their most authentic and empowered version of themselves using a strengths-based approach. Treatment includes a collaborative, individualized plan for therapy using a humanistic, person-centered approach.

I am a marriage and family therapist associate licensed in Washington State. I have been providing psychotherapy for the past eight years. I work with diverse populations, including but not limited to refugee communities, schools, community clinics, and hospitals. I also work with those struggling with mood disorders, relationship problems, and addictions. I have specialized experience and training in assisting those overcoming trauma, including child sexual abuse. My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide all my clients with a safe environment where they can comfortably share their experiences.

I have discovered that a sense of belonging, security, and peace is found within our being.

Currently screening for "Real Solutions for Managing Anger" men's group! Each moment there is the opportunity to find a new strength in yourself. Your goals may be undefined, feel too far to reach, or may not even be on your mind. That is alright. What matters is that you are here, looking for support, understanding, empathy, or whatever else may alleviate your pain. You are not your mental health issues. You are complex, unique, and strong. Life is like a roller coaster of experiences and emotions, and sometimes, we need support with all the chaos.

I help individual men grow their mental and relational health and couples interested in increasing emotional connections. I have experienced many of the issues my clients struggle with, including marital crisis, the loss of a child and professional disappointments. I provide pre-marital counseling, support for parents, leaders and have helped people face addictions, recover from abuse and betrayal and explore spiritual growth from a Christian perspective.

You can succeed in life especially in love, marriage, and family! Even though you may be experiencing great pain because of personal trauma and/or relationship conflicts, you can turn things around. However, you may need assistance from a trained, compassionate professional to help you, either as an individual or with your loved ones, to restore trust, friendship, joy, and deep love.

As a queer or questioning person, you’re going to face some decision making and maybe even challenging of old belief systems and values. You may be in need of a safe, judgment free place to talk, explore, and navigate life choices without pressure or expectation. I don't believe in one size fits all programs; let's figure out what makes sense for you and tailor therapy to your needs.

I love helping clients explore their sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. I specialize in Sex and Intimacy Therapy, LGBTQ+ therapy, Kink/BDSM and consensual non-monogamy. Many clients want support in creating intimacy and connection within relationships or navigating differences in sexual desires. Some folks need help with sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, healing from sexual trauma, low/high libido, and creating healthy boundaries in non-monogamous relationships. All sexual challenges, interests and questions are welcome!

​From early childhood, we are surrounded by expectations - from family, friends, culture, society.  We internalize those expectations and experience their impact on our health, career, finances, relationships. Sometimes it manifests as perfectionism or Imposter Syndrome…sometimes as anxiety, grief, depression and stress.  In the effort to please everyone, we are often left exhausted, defeated, feeling like a failure. So maybe it’s time to rewrite that script imposed upon you…or the one that you imposed upon yourself.

People come to RCC to improve their mental health, increase life satisfaction, and gain self-awareness. The human experience is a complicated one and most of us, at one time or another have found ourselves overwhelmed. When we respond to life's struggles in ways less than successful, we may experience depression, anxiety, or other symptoms. Psychotherapy along with medication is an effective treatment for the relief of these and many other psychological symptoms.

I enjoy working with adults and teens (and the parents of), as well as couples, families, and individuals. Helping others overcome their current difficulties and function better in their life and relationships is my goal. Life can be difficult at times for all of us. I'm good at listening to your concerns, offering support and compassion, and then working with you to find ways to sit with and work through the feelings you're having. Together, we can find a pathway toward enjoying life again.

Therapy can be intimidating and may bring up many different emotions, feelings, and thoughts. Each of these unique responses to our own individual experiences are what make the process of therapy so special. I value building a connection and safety in the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist to be one of the most valuable tenets in the therapeutic relationship. I believe in creating a nonjudgmental space in which I can encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, exploring identity, and managing relational and personal challenges.

As an LMFTA working with couples and families, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I prioritize understanding the unique dynamics and needs of each relationship, and work collaboratively with my clients to identify and address the root causes of any issues or conflicts. My goal is to empower my clients to build stronger and healthier relationships, and to develop the communication and problem-solving skills necessary to maintain these relationships over time.
