Find a Therapist in Vashon, Washington.

Psychotherapy is the process of talking intentionally with a trained clinician who has trained and worked hard to help you think through whatever is troubling you in a different, more useful way. Often times we get focused on thinking and feeling about our personal issues in certain ways and no matter what we do, we can't break out of that rut. Psychotherapy will help you to know more about the problems you face and how to do something different to address them and solve them.

Individual therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. It is a unique relationship that offers support, perspective, and new skills that can help a person confront barriers that interfere with emotional and mental well-being. Patterns and habits that were once effective may no longer be working and could be preventing you from being where you want to be. Therapy can increase positive feelings, self-esteem, and provide a renewed sense of self that is strong and clear.

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.

Psychotherapy is a big investment in yourself—and it has to pay off and reach beyond the hour you spend in the therapy room. Your unique needs and wants will shape our approach, rather than a one-fits-all method. This is your time to identify what you want for yourself, unburden, get support, gain new perspectives, tools, and skills. My approach is caring, curious, and active, with occasional humor sprinkled in. I want you to find the solutions that will work for you and the skills and insights to implement them.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on creating lasting change both inside and outside of sessions. I provide a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to develop their own solutions. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, I help clients identify unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress and replace them with healthier patterns. Sessions are active, goal-oriented, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

My approach to psychotherapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are doing the best they can, given what they have lived through. Using Internal Family Systems therapy, I help people understand and care for the parts of themselves that carry pain, fear, shame, self doubt, or protective patterns. Rather than fighting these parts, we bring curiosity, acceptance, and self compassion to them. As deeper wounds begin to heal, people often feel more calm, clarity, confidence, connection, joy, and freedom to be themselves.

Psychotherapy is a powerful process that helps you understand yourself, heal emotional wounds, and move forward with purpose. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship struggles, or simply want to grow, I provide a supportive and collaborative space where you’ll be empowered to make lasting change. Together, we’ll identify goals, build insights, and strengthen your emotional resilience.

Psychotherapy is relational. It's about feeling safe with your therapist where you can express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I provide a nurturing and structured space where you can get to the root of your issues in as short of time as possible. While I believe in the benefits of long-term therapy, I also know many of you want solutions. Consequently, my approach is solution-focused with cognitive behavioral techniques and even assignments for clients to help them reach their goals more quickly.

People look at you and think you have it all together, but inside you are falling apart. You find yourself consumed with thoughts about food and your body, and it's exhausting you.

You want to find a new path to viewing your body and freedom with food. I'm here to help you create a thriving life. Contact me now.

Mental Health Counseling services is a subfield of psychotherapy. Counseling is designed around specific client goals and needs that enhance the client's wellbeing and overall functioning. Support networks are considered as well as wraparound services as needed. This practice promotes a collaborative relationship with other services in the area as needed, provided such collaboration assistance is permitted by the client. Treatment/service plans can be developed for more structured counseling services.

Therapy is a process where you are provided a comfortable space to build trust with a competent professional who knows how to help and will take the time to really understand you and your goals. As the process develops, we will work together to uncover emotional blindspots, give you the support and tools you need, and help you replace unhelpful thought and feeling patterns with those that are more suited for a balanced and fulfilled life.
