Therapists Beginning With S in Washington

**My practice offers telehealth delivery of service for clients (both phone/video sessions). Many insurances cover these.** I have over 20 years of experience helping people with their broken pieces, obstacles or stuck places in life. When your life changes and you don't know how to face that change, I can help. When you want to create a change but feel lost in how to create it, I can help with that too. Relationship obstacles, scary new beginnings, healing old wounds, dealing with stress, anxiety, and sadness- all of these are things I can help you navigate and heal.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

I'd love to help you learn new ways to relate to others, care for yourself better, and overcome past pain, in order to have a healthier more peaceful life.

I offer both traditional and Christian-based counseling, and would be honored to be a part of your journey. I specialize in couples work and have a passion for increasing connection and better communication. I also work with individuals ages 18 and up on past trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes and offer help getting out of destructive patterns and abusive relationships.

I believe good therapy is a bit like alchemy. As in alchemy we work to turn lead into gold: the heaviness of a weary psyche into the brightness of the luminescent soul. And like alchemy, even the most thorough rational or scientific understanding of the process is insufficient to account for psychological metamorphosis. I work with people who would like to use their capacity for memory and imagination as a force for change in themselves and their circumstances and I help people manifest their vision within the context of everyday life.

As a therapist, I am committed to individual and collective healing, operating from the belief that people change in the presence of other people. This is what makes the therapeutic experience so transformative – the relational work of therapy provides a new context where, together with a safe other, you can seek to understand and unlearn old patterns that no longer serve you, while learning to navigate through your inner and outer world with more courage and comfort. I work to create shared experiences based in curiosity and safety, speaking to the parts of you and your story that may feel stuck or alone.
