Therapists in Olympia, WA

A down-to-earth approach is often what is needed to get to the heart of the struggles in our lives... Psychospiritual growth, relationship issues and somatic (body) awareness are at the core of my working with people. I also offer communication skills to improve interpersonal or team dynamics within work environments. Together we will co-create a sacred space where the depths of your feelings and concerns can be safely explored, processed, and supported. My role will be to accompany and intuitively guide you on this unfolding, transformational journey.

We are all complex individuals, with thoughts, feelings and behaviors that arise from our everyday experiences. Sometimes life throws us challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. As a trauma informed and culturally sensitive therapist, I understand the importance of allowing space and time for healing in a non-judgmental space. I am well equipped to help people across the lifespan and enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

As an Asian American therapist, I have the unique perspective that comes with the BIPOC community and I take pride in creating a safe and judgement free environment. My "ideal" client would be someone who is willing to get out of their comfort zone to gain the life they want to enjoy and love. A client who is open, honest, and willing to ask for help. I get excited when clients talk to me about the changes they want to make in their life and It excites me to see the possibility of change! Come as you are and we will navigate the rest together.

The therapeutic relationship should empower an individual to regain ownership of their life, shifting negative self-talk and other impacts of trauma; allowing for holistic healing and growth. It is my hope to actively walk alongside my client as they work to create their peace; ultimately gaining an improvement in positive self-awareness and optimism, with a side of lasting security and emotional health.

I presently have two openings in my schedule for couples. If you have Premera or Kaiser insurance I encourage you to reach out and connect with me. If you have a curiosity about personal growth and healing, experience anxiety, depression, or are simply overwhelmed by the human experience at this time, talking about these things is my passion. I will support your effort to look inward and identify your strengths, understand and connect coping skills to patterns and your lived experience. I will partner with you to embrace more insight and clarity to accomplish your goals and see personal healing.

In therapy, I prioritize creating a space where clients can embrace the breadth of human emotions with compassion and respect. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and strive to foster a non-judgmental atmosphere that encourages genuine expression and creativity. My focus lies in supporting individuals and couples who are grappling with PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. As a family systems therapist, I explore how external systems (such as culture and family of origin) impact us, alongside our internal attachment patterns and meaning making processes.

MOVE FROM SUFFERING TO SERENE.....Whether you are distressed about career or depressed/anxious about life, I am here to help. I am a career specialist and family counselor, with a friendly, calm, open style. I converse back and forth with clients, often offering them feedback. Also, I frequently mention near-universals, ways in which other people might react to situations similar to those the client is experiencing. Clients frequently give me feedback that they feel comfortable, reassured, and understood when we meet and that they can talk easily with me. I have several special interests in my practice. They are the following:

I love couples, in the good times and the hard times, I am here to support and celebrate you. I approach marriage with a Christian worldview that makes space for your personal history with faith. I don't take sides, I am here to help you both be heard. The foundation of my practice is to work on improved communication and creating shared vision between you and your partner. I also have experience in cross-cultural relationships. If you are looking for premarital counseling, processing marital hurt, or adjusting to marriage with children- I look forward to hearing from you!

My counseling practice is structured toward treating each person as individuals. When I treat people who struggle with eating and body image issues and related challenges with anxiety, depression and relationships, every person is treated with their own, individual needs in mind. Treatment modalities range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mind-Body Therapy (MBCT), Energetic work using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Hypnotherapy and Subtle Energy work. Additionally, I provide individual, couples and family therapy for work-related support (including Career and Rehabilitation counseling) and troubled relationships.

Whether a major life event that has thrown you off track, or over time you have realized that you are not where you want to be in life, therapy can help. It is common to find yourself feeling lost, unhappy, overwhelmed, or disconnected at various times in your life. Therapy can provide you with insight to find new ways of dealing with things that bring about positive changes, quicker than you realize may be possible.

I am forever inspired by the resilience, innate wisdom, and healing capacity of the individuals, couples, and families with whom I work. My role in the therapy process is to facilitate the achievement of target objectives and to foster insight and skills to improve the experience of living now and into the future. With an educational background in marriage and family therapy, and specialty training in Sex Therapy, Sexuality Education, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (attachment theory), Emotion Freedom Technique, and Eden Energy Medicine, I work across cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and energetic dimensions to achieve solid, long-term results.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.

Have a relationship that's in trouble? Coping with a traumatic past? Overwhelmed by life changes? Struggling with depression, anxiety, or other emotional challenges? I have worked in the fields of psychology, education, and sociology for over 20 years. I've seen a lot in that time - from couples in crisis to veterans struggling with trauma to seniors facing grief, loss, and aging issues. I also have experience assisting youth and families involved with CPS, foster care, and the juvenile justice system.

I am currently accepting new clients, however I am prioritizing limited availability to specific clients. While gender and gender identities are constant themes in the transgender community, I am currently prioritizing working with transgender clients who have been actively transitioning for a number of years, and are engaged and connected with the transgender community. I am looking to work with first generation American transgender clients, indigenous and/or transgender people of color, and transgender teens.

Our life is a journey. The journey can present us with challenges we are unsure of how to handle. If you have ever been caught in a rainstorm you’ll know you just want to have a safe place to wait it out. Or you could want a safe way to get through the storm faster. Sometimes we just wish we had someone there to be in the storm with us so we knew we weren’t alone. You are not alone. We can experience that storm together. Therapy, just like life is a collaborative process. Together we can address the challenges you face.
