Life Coaching Therapists in Tumwater, WA
My specialties include working with individuals who are in major life transitions, clients who are in helping professions, entrepreneurs, and BIPOC.
I offer land-based therapy. This work entails an embodied experience of healing through a collaboration with nature and myself. I believe wholeheartedly that our wellness is interwoven with the health of our environment and remembering we are also nature. My office is outdoors, on land being stewarded to enhance the prairie ecosystem and support sustainable food practices. A typical session will include mindfulness practices to regulate the nervous system, activity that supports a relationship not just with self, but also connecting to land, typically through gardening and other land stewarding practices.

I provide support and coaching for people who need more balance and health with their emotions and in their personal connections with others.
Almost everyone at times needs some support or coaching on their life journey. As a seasoned therapist I'd be happy to sit down with you and compasionately listen to your story and lend some hope and support. I see "crisis" as an opportunity to face and overcome the dangers around and in us and a time to open up to the radiance and mysteries of Life.

Returning to our child-like nature, eco-art therapy is deep, powerful and meaningful play that can change your life.
I am passionate about helping clients heal and transform through an eco-art therapeutic approach that combines art, nature and play. Working and playing in a natural setting, I offer a variety of mediums to encourage growth, both indoors and out. This allows an emergent and imaginative approach to therapy that adapts to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple, family and group. Moving from sand tray to clay, collage to art journaling, clients can walk outdoors on paths that meander past waterways and through old growth forests. With labyrinths, meditative walks and an enormous sound chamber, I offer many creative outlets.

I work with adults teaching parenting and life coping skills, and with adolescents helping them develop perspectives and skills leading to successful entry into adulthood.
I am newly licensed but life experienced. I have been married for over thirty years and have one adult daughter and two grandchildren. I was an officer in the US Merchant Marines until 1996, and I have owned and operated a Farmers Insurance and Financial Services Agency for the past twenty-six years. I have been involved in coaching male and female athletes of all ages in baseball, basketball, soccer, and fast pitch. My interest in becoming a therapist grew out of this sports and business background. Assisting others to identify their strengths and weakness, and to empower themselves, has evolved into my next career.

The journey through life brings many great privileges. Experiencing life also means dealing with complicated circumstances such as divorce, the death of a loved one, work-related stress, and more. It is common for adults to struggle with mental health issues such as depression, mood disorders, and anxiety. Life can begin to feel “heavy.” Activities that one used to enjoy may now feel like a chore. Relationships begin to strain. One may ask themself, “where did it all go wrong?” Getting counseling helps you deal with major life issues and overcome your feelings of being overwhelmed.

Free yourself from the anxiety trap! Anxiety, panic, worry and stress can hold people back from performing in life. It can hold people back in school, from getting the job they want, getting promoted, and flourishing in relationships. Trying to escape anxiety can lead people to doing things they wouldn't normally do. When people are frozen with fear they are not living life fully as their authentic selves. Working with a therapist can break you free from anxiety. I've helped so many people work through these feelings to go on to be more successful in their lives.

My practice focuses on empowering adult individuals and couples, with special focus on: sex, sexuality, intimacy, infidelity, poly/open relationships, trauma, grief, career development, communication issues, and life adjustments.
My overall approach is collaborative and client-centered, with a commitment to anti-oppression in every facet of my work. I believe, with warm, respectful, authentic support, every person has the ability to identify inner resources and acquire skills that will empower them to find healing and fulfilling relationships to self and others. My style is compassionate and appropriately direct. While I find exploration of the past useful, I prefer to use the 'here-and-now' to realize and effect change.

I believe women benefit from the support, encouragement, and guidance from another who is able to genuinely hear her for who she is, able to lend their life experience, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually to best benefit the insight, healing and direction of the client.
Now accepting insurances, including Medicare. Liminal is the Latin word for "threshold". A time where we are no longer where we were, but do not yet see where we will be. It is the in between time. Most of us experience times like this in our lives; at the end of a relationship, between jobs, certain developmental stages like mid life -elder, empty nest, any time our roles or sense of identity are changing. We may experience uncertainty, unease or even fear. We may simply not have a clear vision for where we want to be. It is a time we often reach out for help in sorting through what was, is, and may yet be.

My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help. Working with couples to save, restore, or provide maintenance is my passion. There’s nothing in the world quite like trauma and the way it impacts us as individuals on many different levels. I can help you deal with and navigate these painful memories and intrusive thoughts to live a healthier life. If you are a parent struggling with a child or family problems, I believe I can connect with and help teach both parent and child to help you be a more successful family unit.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
