Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or disconnected? You’re not alone. Each and everyone of us has our own stories and lived experiences of pain, trauma, disconnection. Life’s challenges can be overwhelming and it is crucial to have the support you need to navigate life. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and body-led. Healing is a journey, and I will meet you on the path exactly where you are with compassion and non-judgement. Together I join with you on the path toward your healing and fulfillment and together we embrace the messiness of the human experience where you are free to explore what is alive for you.

Welcome! Namaste! Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with your day-to-day life? If so, I encourage you to reach out today by phone or email. Let us embark on this therapeutic journey together. I understand that seeking therapy can feel strange and uncomfortable, and it is okay to experience those feelings. Acknowledging them is an important step, and gently moving forward is the beginning of healing. As a therapist, my goal is to serve as a compass, guiding you toward the direction you desire. I offer tele-health therapy within the state of Washington.

My approach to therapy is humanistic and relational. I believe that pain and suffering are an unavoidable part of the human experience, but they do not have to be a permanent, all-consuming state of affairs. We all get stuck from time to time. Finding a way forward can seem unimaginable or downright impossible at times; we can become immobilized by fear, confusion, and indecision, or stuck in lifelong patterns of behavior that have outlived their usefulness. But through dialogue with a caring, curious, and compassionate other, we can find new ways to heal, to grow, and to move forward with our lives.

Hi! The first step is acknowledging that you need more support & I am proud of your bravery. Are you looking for a therapist that will treat you with respect, listen with compassion, & always have your back? I will do this for you every time! I offer a safe & non-judgmental space that will allow you to feel secure, heard, & supported. I will not shy away from asking you the tough questions & being honest with what I observe. You deserve to heal & I promise to help you do just that. I specialize in anxiety, eating disorders, depression, and pregnancy but I work with a variety of concerns! I support children, adolescents, and adults.

Some days, maybe even most days, you feel at war with yourself. You burn through all of your mental (and physical) energy just by convincing yourself to do the tasks that make you a “productive” person. Some days, you win that war and accomplish what you wanted; other days, you feel like you lost it and beat yourself up for not doing better. You may not know where to start because everything feels overwhelming and maybe failure feels inevitable.

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 curiosity; a belief in your worthiness and capacity to flourish; and confidence that you are capable and deserving of healing and change. Together we will explore the experiences you are finding troubling or ways you are trying to understand yourself better.

Are you taking care of you? You’ve worked so hard to care of others, and now you aren’t sure that your life is what it should be.

Hi there! I’m Megan, a fellow parent who knows how hard it can be. I’m also deeply committed to understanding what underlies the behavior in our children that hinders their growth into the resilient, confident, and kind adults they have the potential to be. I have 15 years of experience working with children and families in all sorts of capacities and settings. I know all too well how kids with challenging behaviors or high anxiety can slip through the cracks, get labeled “defiant,” or just start to internalize the belief that they’re a bad kid. The truth is there’s no such thing. Kids do well when they can – and so do parents!

You are ready for a proactive approach and want to make positive change. With connection and trust we will use a combination of skill building, motivational enhancement and personal exploration to calm crisis, and increase coping.

My approach with clients is warm, compassionate and collaborative. In addition to relieving pain and symptoms, I strive to help clients make changes that bring them happiness and greater satisfaction in life. Areas of expertise include treatment of PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse, along with problems stemming from relationship issues, divorce, parenting issues, empty nest, career change, relocation, major illness, chronic pain, or grief. I use complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized approach for each client, building on strengths to achieve the changes you want.

Confidential, interactive tele-therapy for LGBTQ people & women of all ages. My experiences, education & empathy inspired me to become a psychotherapist. I strive to create safe, trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationships and encourage clients to: work at their own pace; question, reveal & express feelings stemming from depression, anxiety, isolation, self-esteem & life transitions. Emotional support is essential for coming out, gender/sex issues, parenting, family conflicts, aging and loss. I am committed to helping people identify & overcome barriers to personal, relational, academic, professional and creative pursuits.

I love working with individuals looking to make changes in their life. Its a big step to recognize we are stuck and need some help. I enjoy working with folks that don’t feel they easily fit in societal constructs. I have experience working with teens to adults using various modalities to address complex trauma, adoption issues, relationships, body image, parenting, and crisis stabilization, I enjoy supporting folks in exploring gender and sexuality and I'm supportive of all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and family compilations. I am a queer cis woman and parent and strong advocate for queer and trans rights and autonomy

"How did I get here??” Does this question echo in your mind as you grasp at moments of normalcy and peace? Whether it is a relationship that you’re struggling to balance, parenting stress, becoming lost in your day-to-day or a pain you can no longer bear alone, I am here to walk that path with you. The quote by Charlie Mackesy, ““What is the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” Asked the boy. “Help,” said the horse.” perfectly demonstrates how difficult taking this first step can be; if this is where you are at, I welcome you to my office & am honored to sit next to you start to finish.

My counseling approach focuses on assisting clients to develop healthy relationships, to work through individual, couple, and intergenerational trauma, and to understand unknown aspects of the self. We work together for you to develop greater insight, self-understanding, and healing, helping to build a vital sense of consciousness, authenticity, and meaning.
