I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 40 years of experience. My greatest strength as a therapist is helping clients to be aware of what they feel and to make decisions about how they are going to express those feelings in their daily living. I am a highly interactive therapist, guiding exploration within a session, challenging restrictive beliefs and unproductive behaviors clients may have held since childhood, and offering direction for behavior beyond the session. My book, "The Freedom Handbook; How Being True To Yourself Can Set You Free" was published in 2021.

I believe we are all created for connection in relationship, and that all relationships have the potential to bring great joy and great struggle. Through our therapeutic relationship, by addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy, a process occurs that produces healing, transformation, and growth. My approach to counseling varies, but is rooted in trauma-informed, relational psychotherapy, focusing on key attachment relationships, and exploring the moments, social and cultural constructs, and ideologies that have shaped you.

Life can be challenging. Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, or stuck. Maybe the things that used to help you feel better aren’t helping so much anymore. Perhaps you are experiencing a sense of disconnection from who you want to be or from people important to you. Know that what you are feeling is valid, and you have the capacity to change. I welcome anyone seeking help, and have experience serving individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and as members of various ethnic and cultural groups. I also recognize that as a white, cisgender, hetero male, my life experience may be quite different from yours.

My ideal client might want to work on anxiety, depression, relationships, work stress, existential fears, trauma, overall self-development and emotional regulation, skill building.

Welcome to Creative Guidance, PLLC. I believe that our ability to stay in the moment, especially when things are difficult, can be tough.

I am here to help you become present and unfold the YOU that has always been there from the start.

I'm a culturally informed therapist committed to helping people develop new approaches to difficulties so they leave therapy more at peace and connected. In addition to what brings them to therapy, many of the people I work with feel like they don’t quite belong. They worry about other people's judgements. They may believe that they are not as competent as the people around them. Or they question their ability to be a good partner, parent, or friend. Sometimes they just feel lonely. Therapy is a place where we can make sense of all these experiences and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and integrity.

Are you struggling with loneliness, conflicts, burdens from the past, troublesome behaviors, and cultural baggage? Maybe there are strong feelings you long to process or you are in the middle of a relationship that seeks reconciliation. These experiences can leave you with anxiety, confusion, and stress.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be uncomfortable, as growth and change happen outside of our comfort zone. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to be curious about themselves and want to create a collaborative relationship with their therapist. I place a high value on working to understand where each person has come from, to validate their experiences, and then work next to them toward their goals. Change is difficult and I deeply honor the growing pains that can come with change. Therefore, I also enjoy empowering and supporting clients to find the correct tools that can help foster their wanted growth.

Hello, I'm Samantha. In my clinical practice - I work with clients to discover their strengths, hold space for hope, and build personal agency. I believe in talking about where you're at, where youʼve come from and where youʼre going - helping you heal and return to a sense of wholeness.

Many clients come to therapy for multiple reasons; most clients are seeking when the "anxiety" is too much to endure. I provide therapy for individuals-(children, adolescents and adults), couples, and facilitate process groups. I also am a multicultural educator. I help individuals cope with mechanisms that will help find ways to make different choices and re-invent ourselves; so we then become the architect, the planner and the builder of our lives, throughout our lives. I provide workshops and presentations that deal with undoing multiple oppressions in both queer and communities of color.

I am a Chinese transracial adoptee raised in the Midwest. I moved to Seattle as an adult and am honored to be living on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish people past and present. I enjoy hiking in nature, eating good food, and spending time with my dog. I believe that everyone can benefit from and deserves to participate in therapy. I see therapy as a process of reflection, self-discovery, and healing. My goal is to create an environment where you can see your own path forward, as well as look at your path so far. I am interested in working with adoptees, their families, and people of color.
