Therapists Beginning With G in Washington

Once in a while everyone could use another set of eyes on an issue... or a better perspective from 30,000 feet. An experienced marriage & individual therapist in private practice since 1993, I provide highly productive, solution-focused short-term counseling, communication training, conflict resolution, and business coaching. In a nutshell, I am addressing the National epidemic of elongated adolescence, expectations, entitlement, and children raising children, one client at a time. And the weak become strong. I welcome your inquiries and would be honored to be part of your life, if even for a short while as your Counselor.

Do you feel stuck but also don’t quite know where to start to make positive changes in your life? Most of us have been there. In this increasingly complex world it can be difficult to create moments of peace and contentment, and listen to our inner voice. We are constantly bombarded by different types of stimuli. Despite so many ways to communicate with people, sometimes it feels like no one is really listening to what we have to say. How are we supposed to foster joy, gratitude, have satisfying and meaningful relationships like this? If you have had these thoughts a little too often, maybe it is time for us to work together.

Life can be challenging. Whether it's loss, change, death of a loved one or uncertainty of life's direction, we all hit roadblocks and obstacles. During those times it's important to be heard. I am here to listen and to inspire hope. I believe in my clients' abilities to change. I nurture their inner strength until they can believe in themselves. Change is powerful. It can be transformational, scary and exciting. When I worked in Palliative Care with patients who were at the end stage of their lives, I was witness to the power of being present. In the quiet presence of acceptance, a deep healing can occur. PLEASE EMAIL FOR CONSULT

Are you finding yourself stuck? Hopeless? Is your relationship struggling with communication, intimacy and connection? You are not alone. You have taken a courageous step in reaching out. My approach to therapy is collaborative, systemic and strengths based. I am interested in the meaning made from your stories and life experiences. I find it is often in these stories, told to us and by us, that we find meaning and purpose. Unfortunately, not all these stories are desirable.

Are you suffering from broken communication and/or conflict with your spouse/partner? You can reestablish communication and respect. Struggling to find your identity, mission, and purpose in life or facing a major life challenge? You can create a personal roadmap for survival and success. COUPLES: I help couples learn how to communicate with respect and to address specific challenges including: deciding to re-commit, surviving an affair, navigating blended family issues, setting financial priorities, and parenting adult children. Gender stereotypes are dangerous but I often find myself helping women set boundaries and speak out; I often help men learn to listen.

Every person has a story that influences the thoughts and feelings they currently experience. The past cannot be changed, but the future has yet to be written. By seeking therapy, you are taking an important step in bringing about the change that produces healing. My approach to therapy is tailored to fit the unique needs of the individual, using evidence-based practices to bring hope to those who are looking to build a life with meaning and purpose.
