Aetna Therapists in Sequim, WA

I believe you hold the answers to the challenges that bring you to counseling. It is my job to support you finding them. I aim to work with acceptance, respect, and trust - allowing our work to be guided by you. In session, I listen both for what is said, as well as process – the often unspoken patterns and strategies of relating. I see mental health and well-being as a sense of wholeness. In this state, the many parts of ourselves are in agreement. I firmly believe that even the most disturbing or distressing experiences are potentials for growth and learning.

I believe the most successful outcomes in counseling and psychotherapy include the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach to this is having genuine acceptance, respect, and empathy toward those who are looking for help.

Depending on what your needs are, I can help you navigate this experience of working on what you want to resolve or change in your life.

I understand the importance of finding a counselor with whom you connect. When you reach out for help, you might be feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is to collaborate with my clients in ways that support their values and goals while honoring who they are and their experiences. While we are all doing the best we can with the skills and experiences we have, sometimes we need some extra support navigating life and relationships, to learn new skills, or to have a safe space in which to process experiences, explore who we are, gain insights, or rebuild our sense of self and meaning.

I am a person-centered therapist who sees adult individual clients in person & presently expanding my hours so there may be openings now. My approach integrates a number of perspectives, including the connection of mind, body and emotions, and empathy-based communication. As one example, I sometimes use motivational interviewing, positive psychology, non-violent communication, and mindfulness to help clients make deeper contact with feelings, identify needs, and find expression. This can help to alleviate anxiety or depression in some people, towards increased connection and satisfaction. Feel free to contact me to explore more.
