Teletherapy for Washington

Individuals of any age struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and difficult life transitions may improve with treatment that accesses the creative side of the brain through a safe and therapeutic method of emotional expression. No artistic skill required! Children and youth who have trouble talking about their thoughts and feelings due to developmental, emotional, or English language skill reasons can use the creative process to learn how to understand their world, build social and coping skills.

Talking to a new person about the hards parts of your life can feel deeply vulnerable! Whether it’s coming to therapy for the first time, returning after a break, or transitioning therapists, I understand the bravery and inner strength that reaching out for help requires. I aim to make the process of coming to therapy easy by making folks feel respected, safe, and understood. I provide space where people can be human, share truths, and practice new skills. I’m accepting telehealth clients ages 13+ and am an out-of-network provider. Clients under 13 in need of support are recommended to do parent sessions with me.

I specialize in helping deep feelers and thinkers heal past wounds, generational trauma, belonging wounds, and break cycles that feel overwhelming so that you can live a life aligned with your passions, dreams and values. We co-create a space together to work on a profound level so you can actualize your healing potential and experience the change and wellness you desire. If you value community impact and want to contribute to collective healing, we need to address our own wounds and patterns. It is possible to experience relief confidence and feel grounded and aligned in yourself, your relationships and life.

I focus most of my work on EMDR, Art Therapy , and Sex Therapy. My specialty populations are people within the kink community, people in polyamorous and alternative relationships, and those with trauma backgrounds, people who are LGBTQ+, and women, trans, and nonbinary folks with traumatic backgrounds. I also have many therapists in my practice who offer other specializations and work with other populations. Many of the therapists at FlowArt Therapy are taking new clients. Email me to be matched with a therapist suitable for your needs. Please see my website at www.flowartwa.com I am an Aasect Certified Sex Therapist.

You’re an ambitious, go-getter, loving mom. You love your family....yet somehow, despite "having it all" on paper, you feel like something is missing and you notice yourself slipping away. But the thought of saying that out loud or even doing something about it - because how dare you not be grateful for the life you have - stops you dead in your tracks. So you keep plugging along on autopilot, never truly enjoying the journey. Days turn into weeks which turn into months and you start to forget the last time you belly laughed. The last time you filled YOUR cup. The last time you truly enjoyed your time with your kids or your spouse.

In treatment, I use a solution-focused and cognitive behavioral approach. As a psychotherapist with over 17 years experience, I treat individuals, couples, and families. I also treat depression and anxiety disorders as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. As a nationally registered Art Therapist, I treat trauma-related disorders. I work with individuals, families and couples. I'm available to help clients who reside in NY, CA and the state of WA.

I know that finding a counselor can be difficult, so I want to give you a sense of who I am and how I approach therapy. This way, you can find out if we are a good fit. You can always call me too if you would like to know more. First of all, counseling is about you. I will do my best to create a safe, supportive, and caring space for us to work together to build the life you want. The primary focus of my therapy practice is teaching unconditional self-love, self-acceptance, and seeking joy in our lives.

I deeply value my connection with my clients, and I strive to create relationships, and an environment, that are client-centered and free of judgment. I approach our sessions with an authentic sense of curiosity; a belief in your worthiness and capacity to flourish; and confidence that, whether you can recognize it right now or not, we are all uniquely resilient and capable of healing and change. Together we will embark on a journey to explore the experiences you are finding troubling or ways you are trying to understand yourself better.

If you're unsatisfied with the status quo, then let's find your sublime. Adults looking for a creative outlet, a place to vent, or support for hard times are my ideal clients. I specialize in anxiety and depression, work stress and career goals, identity or relationship issues, life changes or traumatic events. Unusual tales and winding paths are welcome—there is no judgment for any stories you bring. You are accepted wholeheartedly with caring curiosity. Together, we'll help you find freedom of expression and the potential to grow.

We possess the ability to create a fulfilling, joyful existence, but trauma, emotional wounding, loss, life transitions, conditions while growing up, plus stressors of day-to-day living, can drown out our inner wisdom or intuition. I enjoy collaborating with the unique qualities each individual brings to therapy and provide an environment that is safe and conducive to deep reflection, validation and positive change. I believe that with the right type of support, one can transform painful experiences and life circumstances into opportunities for healing and growth.

I am an art therapist, artist and creative person who understands emotions and the body and how they work together. I am also a life-long learner who will always be honing her skills because I want to be someone who can serve every population I am working with in the best way that I can. Additionally, I am a human who believes in Spirit, so I believe there is a reason we come across one another's paths. We will teach one another and grow together if you choose to work with me.

Have you been dealing with challenging or concerning patterns that keep coming up in your life and in your relationships? Have you experienced times in your life that were very painful, and find them coming up again and again, even though you’ve tried to forget about it and move on? If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone!

My hope is that therapy will be a safe place to process life and better understand who you are. I work most frequently with women as well as teenagers, young adults and adults. If you are seeking support around challenges with fertility, postpartum, pregnancy and adjustments to parenthood, I'd be honored to walk with you through this season and the myriad of feelings that come with it. If you are in seasons of transition and working to better understand who you want to be, therapy is a safe place to get tools to help you own your voice and how you want to show up in the world. It's okay to ask for help and prioritize yourself.

Now Accepting New Clients! You crave conversations about the universe, meaning, and purpose. You feel most alive and at peace while creating. Discussing the weather kills your soul a bit. People keep telling you you're in the "prime of your life" and you still have no idea wtf you're doing, and kinda feel like a hot mess. You also secretly wish that iced coffee you get every morning is just going to magically solve all your problems...I get it. Young adulthood, while exciting, can be kind of a mess and it sure isn't talked about enough. If you're needing a space to figure out where you want to go from here, shoot me a text.

Accepting New Clients! I work with preteens, teens, and young adults moving through transitionary periods in life. This may look many different ways ranging from struggling to get through the day to feeling like your emotions are too much. My work focuses on creating a safe space in which individuals feel comfortable processing difficult emotions and developing coping skills to help navigate this hectic world we are living in. I believe in taking a person-centered collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals.

Underneath the disappointments and pain, you have more strength and wholeness than you may realize. It takes real courage to break out of our old ways of doing things into new thinking and behaving. I admire and respect anyone who has the willingness to start on this journey and am there to support you through that process, even if you don't know what needs to change. Together we will navigate these uncharted waters, bringing you closer to the fullest and most satisfying life possible for you. NOTE: Remote therapy ONLY (including EMDR) in Idaho, North Carolina & Kansas. Remote & in-person therapy available in Washington State.

It's safe to say there is no one-size-fits-all way to come of age during a global pandemic and Youth Mental Health Crisis. As a youth and family art therapist, I am here to help, young adults, teens, and preteens learn to harness their strengths and turn them into coping skills they can use everyday to maintain emotional balance during these exceptionally stressful times. I am experienced in the full range of challenges facing young clients, but have particular expertise with depression / anxiety/ bi-polar disorder, major life transitions and stress, suicidal thoughts, gender exploration, PTSD, and chronic illness/ pain/ disability.
