Therapists Beginning With M in Washington
The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others. You are people who experience hardships in life transitions, struggle with identity issues, have relationship conflicts, seek healing from traumatic experiences, suffer from social injustice and people who seek personal growth.

As a therapist, I believe it is a great privilege and honor to be a part of the journey through an individual's most challenging and rewarding life experiences. It takes a great deal of courage to seek therapy and look inward to face the parts of ourselves we may be uncomfortable admitting exist. Within every individual is the power to heal themselves and working collaboratively in therapy will help facilitate that realization. My approach focuses on building resilience and hope through a blend of modalities including but not limited to Gestalt, attachment-based, emotion-focused, and existential therapy.

I offer faith-based, Christian counseling. However, I recognize and respect that you may not share all or any of my beliefs or values. Religion and spirituality are important facets of an individual’s personal and cultural identity, which can be sources of pain as well as healing. It is of utmost importance to me that therapy is a safe space where we show mutual respect for a diversity of beliefs, opinions, and practices. This is part of creating trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship and finding the skills and tools that work best for you.

Being alive in a complex and unknown world is difficult, as humans we are daily managing our emotions, instincts, desires, frustrations, confusions, and joys. This is no simple task, and difficult to do alone. That is where the work of psychotherapy comes in to provide a path forward. By creating a space of acceptance, presence, and honesty together we can move towards building more security and freedom to live and enjoy life.

You may be feeling unfulfilled or overwhelmed, or maybe you are beating yourself up with thoughts that you are a failure and to blame for where you are now. You’ve been stuck like this for some time and it’s hard to imagine things changing. Many of my clients are people who are ‘new’ to therapy, although they are not new to pain. Whether you have experienced neglect or abuse, are navigating major life changes or grieving a loss, or just struggling managing your emotions, I work with people who feel unworthy of love or struggle to feel compassion for themselves.
