Find a Therapist in Newcastle, Washington.

As a therapist, I strive to establish a safe, empathetic connection with my clients and to foster a space of nonjudgmental curiosity with a splash of playfulness. We will start wherever you are and explore your goals for yourself, your relevant experiences and the ways I can best support your journey. I do my best work with clients who are motivated to see change in their life and desire to connect more deeply with a place of wholeness and peace within themselves. Additionally, I strive to be aware of the dynamics happening between myself and my clients to ensure that I am creating a space which is experienced as trustworthy, non-judgmental, helpful, caring and non-hierarchica

Psychotherapy is an avenue for you to gain the skills and support you need to make the changes in your life that you want. My therapeutic focus is to get you some relief from your symptoms then address the underlying issues and trauma that at the root of those symptoms. We will tailor the mix of tools that we use to meet your particular goals. I often use elements of mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and trauma focused modalities such as Lifespan Integration and Trauma Resiliency Model with the ultimate goal of an integrated self.

People change through relationships. Whether it is the relationship with a parent, a partner, or a therapist, our interactions with others provide the safety and security for our deepest growth -- or the context for our deepest pain. I offer an environment in which you can explore how your relationships have made you who you are and how to heal the wounds of the past in a warm, inviting space.

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

Therapy is honest, cathartic, truth-telling, relational work. It's facing your story. It's feeling things long pushed away and ignored. It's being heard. It's hearing your own voice. It's coming into relationship with yourself. Psychotherapy is a lot of different things and ultimately it's about the relationship and rhythm you find with your psychotherapist. I would love to meet to see if it is a good fit.

While life can good and satisfying at times--you also know that life can also deal some really tough blows. You may feel exhausted from dealing with the pain of your past...or you may be experiencing inner-struggles that leave you feeling paralyzed...or literally feeling sick and tired of the same conflicts over and over again in your relationships. Our counselors at Mill Creek Family Services come alongside you during these dark and overwhelming times. With care and compassion, we specialize in helping you with proven strategies to help you move through the pain and create the life and relationships you're hoping for.

Psychotherapy is a process of deep exploration that seeks to create a greater understanding of the self. Once you understand something, you will learn skills to create more options so you can make the decision that will enhance your view of yourself, tour various roles in your life, and your relationships. Skills learned in psychotherapy can improve how you assess things (decrease shame, guilt, anxiety, for example), how you understand what others are doing (such as depersonalizing their behaviors, decreasing our reactivity to things they say or do), and improve your ability to communicate your wants and needs clearly and effectively.

My approach to Psychotherapy is client-centered, collaborative, and individual to each client and the issues they are struggling to overcome. I use an attachment based, depth psychology focus with clients, including children and couples. Some of my clients may choose to use Sand Tray Therapy, which is a non-verbal form of expressive therapy. Sand Tray therapy can help to access and heal the deeper, non-conscious aspects of current life struggles.
