Find a Therapist in Picnic Point, Washington.

Psychotherapy is a process of deep exploration that seeks to create a greater understanding of the self. Once you understand something, you will learn skills to create more options so you can make the decision that will enhance your view of yourself, tour various roles in your life, and your relationships. Skills learned in psychotherapy can improve how you assess things (decrease shame, guilt, anxiety, for example), how you understand what others are doing (such as depersonalizing their behaviors, decreasing our reactivity to things they say or do), and improve your ability to communicate your wants and needs clearly and effectively.

Psychotherapy is a big investment in yourself—and it has to pay off and reach beyond the hour you spend in the therapy room. Your unique needs and wants will shape our approach, rather than a one-fits-all method. This is your time to identify what you want for yourself, unburden, get support, gain new perspectives, tools, and skills. My approach is caring, curious, and active, with occasional humor sprinkled in. I want you to find the solutions that will work for you and the skills and insights to implement them.

I employ a holistic approach that bridges the worlds of shamanic healing, contemporary psychotherapy, and life coaching. The blending of these modalities recognizes and works with the invisible energies, the non-ordinary realities (however we each individually perceive these forces), and the physical world experiences and choices influencing our wellbeing. I bring to this work deep integrity, compassion, fortitude, intuition, and over 3 decades of shamanic practice in support of mine and others' journeys of healing, personal mastery, and authenticity.

My approach to Individual Counseling is really quite basic: We engage in honest and direct dialogue about life and relationships. During counseling sessions we examine the thoughts and feelings that create difficult circumstances and unsatisfying relationships. We begin to self-reflect. As our awareness deepens our worries and problems decrease and eventually dissolve completely. With greater focus and enthusiasm we channel our energy into realizing our heart's desires, allowing joyful experiences to naturally arise. A depth of meaning and satisfaction is seated within ourselves. We experience greater compassion and joy in all circumstances.

If you've been struggling with a mental health condition, whether diagnosed or suspected, getting proper treatment is often a crucial part of improving functioning and quality of life. Through questionnaires and your intake, I'll assess the symptoms you report and provide a diagnosis. Assessment continues throughout our time together and the diagnosis I initially suspected may change as I learn more about you or an additional diagnosis may be added. What's important to know is a diagnosis can provide direction in therapy and some answers, but life is much bigger than that. What you value and want out of your life are crucial to explore and just as important to your wellness and happiness.

Being more in charge of the choices you make and the relationships you enter into will be the result of our sessions.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I believe that people get better when they are motivated for change, they learn the skills, and they practice the skills regularly. My part as a therapist is to help you feel really understood and to give you tools,, to give you hope and to cheer you on. The longer I work with people (20+ years), the quicker I am to help you find the solution and help you move to a better place. I like to see changes with each session and some major change in 4 weeks. Most of the time, I want you to leave happier and better than you walked in. Focusing on what works in your life will crowd out the problems. Example: focusing on more safety and peace will displace fear, anxiety and panic.

Psychotherapy is the process of talking intentionally with a trained clinician who has trained and worked hard to help you think through whatever is troubling you in a different, more useful way. Often times we get focused on thinking and feeling about our personal issues in certain ways and no matter what we do, we can't break out of that rut. Psychotherapy will help you to know more about the problems you face and how to do something different to address them and solve them.

Therapy is a process where you are provided a comfortable space to build trust with a competent professional who knows how to help and will take the time to really understand you and your goals.

Everyone needs a non-judgmental ear to listen to the struggles that we go through in life. Psychotherapy is a great, safe, confidential way of expressing yourself, challenging beliefs, and understanding who you are and where you want to go in life. People often feel stuck and don't know where to start to get their momentum back. Psychotherapy will help you figure that out and help you identify ways that will lead you to where you want to be.

Psychotherapy is relational. It's about feeling safe with your therapist where you can express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I provide a nurturing and structured space where you can get to the root of your issues in as short of time as possible. While I believe in the benefits of long-term therapy, I also know many of you want solutions. Consequently, my approach is solution-focused with cognitive behavioral techniques and even assignments for clients to help them reach their goals more quickly.

My approach to Psychotherapy is client-centered, collaborative, and individual to each client and the issues they are struggling to overcome.

Sand Tray therapy can help to access and heal the deeper, non-conscious aspects of current life struggles.

I help individuals and couples get what they want out of life. Great lives are possible, but somehow we're not always taught how to get them while growing up. The reason for that is that everyone's "great life" is different from everyone else's and it's achieved differently from everyone else. Focusing on you and your life is a direct route to figuring out what has been bothering you and why. And moving forward, we figure out how to effectively make happen what you want to happen.

I started as an intern clinical mental health therapist in a psychiatric center in 2007, and continued to practice therapy in elementary and middle schools, and in a community mental health center. Together, we will find the strengths of you, learning new coping and relaxation skills, and re-organize past traumas emotions into a harmless and neutral position. It is possible for you to feel valuable and joyful.

Therapy is honest, cathartic, truth-telling, relational work. It's facing your story. It's feeling things long pushed away and ignored. It's being heard. It's hearing your own voice. It's coming into relationship with yourself. Psychotherapy is a lot of different things and ultimately it's about the relationship and rhythm you find with your psychotherapist. I would love to meet to see if it is a good fit.

As a therapist, I strive to establish a safe, empathetic connection with my clients and to foster a space of nonjudgmental curiosity with a splash of playfulness.

Additionally, I strive to be aware of the dynamics happening between myself and my clients to ensure that I am creating a space which is experienced as trustworthy, non-judgmental, helpful, caring and non-hierarchica

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
