Therapists in Snohomish County, WA

In an overly connected world, we sometimes just need to be heard. Meeting with someone who listens deeply can uncover the answers that live within our hearts. The therapeutic process allows you to navigate life's transitions (identity, relationships, career, relocation, retirement, grief and loss) with grace. In time, you can bring your whole self to all of your relationships (intimate, family, friends, colleagues). You can also pursue purposeful action in your education, career, community and spiritual life. Living is the process of enduring change. Building resilience allows us to be enriched by that ongoing change process.

I strive to provide an open and inclusive space for folks to explore who they are and any challenges within their world. This exploration can be difficult, which is why I hope having a support to guide you in this process will create a sense of safety and foster growth. Together we can work on things like coping skills, exploring trauma, interpersonal conflict, radical self-acceptance and more.

So many therapists to choose from...! My practice is simple and old-fashioned. Sessions are in person and I don't bill insurances. There is nothing simple, however, about life's bumpy roads. Between our personal concerns, family, and relationship problems and the current state of social, political and climate pressures, there is plenty to account for the rise in anxiety and even despair.

I help families, couples, and individuals work through difficult emotions and dynamics to find healing. I fundamentally believe that all people are resilient and have what they need to face the inevitable challenges in life and relationships. By helping my clients build security within themselves and in their relationships, I believe change in possible. Anything can be renewed; there is always hope.

I am a Christian therapist trained in the interpersonal/relational psychoanalytic theory. I've also engaged both object relational and cognitive behavioral theories through varied clinical experiences. I've mostly trained under Dan Allender. I am trained well to serve clients that desire to face issues of sexual abuse/trauma, narrative, and relational dynamics within relationships. I'm also able to help clients think through potential cultural issues that can also have impact on ones dealing with issues of abuse, story, and relationship.

Hi, thanks for being here! If you haven't been feeling like yourself & are in need of additional support, you're in the right place. I'm passionate about helping those struggling w/ anxiety, depression, high stress/overwhelm, & trauma. I am ADHD-affirming. I will work with you to help you regain a sense of balance, find peace and joy in your life again, while reducing shame/guilt & confusion surrounding your current life challenges. We will also work towards creating a growth mindset through self-compassion & the use of tangible coping skills.

Hope is what carries us forward in life. We need it to feel like there's a purpose for living. I work with individuals who deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relational problems, existential issues, cultural issues, and other mental health issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be the starting place where hope is restored. Through the therapeutic relationship, I believe that people can start to trust, accept, and love who they are, and as a result, change the outlook and circumstances of their lives. We can do this together; you do not need to be alone while you are struggling.

There are many different reasons people spend time seeking the help of a professional counselor. Some have a specific targeted problem they wish to overcome. Others need a safe and comfortable space to talk to a nonjudgmental person outside of their usual friends and family. While still others may need help navigating their interpersonal relationships. Whatever your reason is for seeking counseling, it is my goal to help you overcome those issues in your own journey to healing.

I believe that a solid, collaborative relationship between client and therapist makes a powerful difference. As a team, we will find the parts of your history that hinder you, and the strengths that you may not know. With this understanding, I can help you write a new chapter in a far better story. Clients tell me that they feel genuine care and understanding from me, plus insight that creates meaning from the past and hope for the future.

The process of seeking and making the decision to come to counseling can be a challenging one. Through a warm and caring approach, my hope is to ease some of these concerns around starting our work together in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship that will aid you in progressing towards your goals. Since each person is unique, I strive to collaborate in a way that best meets your presenting concerns and goals for therapy, acknowledging the barriers that can impede you from being the person you’ve been wanting to be.

It is hard for many of us to reach out to someone for help. It may be embarrassment, or being unsure how therapy would help heal you. Our journey together will be a compassionate, nonjudgemental classroom where you will learn more of your pure self and its ability to heal. It is important that we both see clearly in our work together: "There’s one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community, university or nation — the ability to see someone else deeply, to know another person profoundly, to make them feel heard and understood.” David Brooks, New York Times

I am excited to announce our next Hold Me Tight couples workshop: October 5 & 6, 2024! Check under Groups for more information. I enjoy working with individual adults and couples. I meet my clients with warmth and acceptance, and provide a safe, calm, and grounding space that supports them in dealing with issues such as grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and depression, distance or conflict in relationships, developing personal identity, working through trauma, and parenting issues.

Our uncertain times has likely increased stress and the “What if’s” into your or a loved one’s life. The constant change and uncertainty can foster stress and other emotional reactions. This may look/feel like feeling isolated, frightful, irritable, outraged, sad, guilt or even exhibiting maladaptive behaviors (e.g., substance use, risky behaviors, eating habits, sleeping habits, etc.). While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, having a harm-reduction approach, focusing more on what we can control and less on what we can’t, decreasing stress, reducing your triggers and focusing on our strengths and supports can help.

I work with people who are motivated to go deep because working on the surface has not brought results. If you are seeking therapy, it's likely that you are in some sort of pain and are looking to move through and beyond that pain to a place of greater safety and trust. Together we can commit to walking a healing path. We can address your needs for a fulfilling life in the here-and-now while processing old issues that perennially impact your ability to freely and joyfully relate to yourself and others.
