Counseling
How I Can Help
I utilize an integrative approach to therapy which means I integrate a variety of different counseling theories along with spirituality. These include Cognitive-Behaviorial Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).
I primarily see clients seeking counseling in the following areas:
Anxiety
OCD
Depression
Faith issues
Church hurt
Relationship issues
I am also able to provide counseling for couples.
Session rate is $140/session
I do not take insurance at this time.
All sessions are virtual.
My Approach
I do my best to take a Christ-like approach to working with my clients.
This means that I aim to listen non-judgmentally, believing the best in you, while showing empathy towards your suffering. I consider myself a wounded healer and utilize this to enter into your pain with you. You are not alone.
I view it as an honor to enter into your story.
"My hope is that you feel genuinely seen, known, and loved."
Spiritually Informed
Your life with God is important and I want to honor that. If you desire to incorporate this into your healing journey it would be my pleasure to do so.
Oftentimes, spirituality is forgotten when it comes to healing journeys. I believe this is the "glue" that holds us together and should be attended to.
However, if spirituality is something that has been abusive for you, it is my promise to you that this will not be a repeated process.
If spiritual abuse is a piece of your journey, it would be an honor to sit with you in the confusion.
Policies
Confidentiality: Everything that is said in the session is completely confidential except in the cases of mandated reporting. This is imperative for our time together.
Care Coverage: I am licensed in the state of Washington and am able to work with you if you reside in Washington State.
Medication: I do not prescribe medication but can work with you to explore whether medication is a good fit for you, or if you are taking medication, work with you to find the best fits in conjunction with your Doctor.
Insurance: Choosing not to accept insurance stems from my conviction of giving you the best care possible. Often, insurance requires counselors to provide required diagnoses, or mandated treatments. My approach is that this approach facilitates a more customized and cooperative therapeutic journey, allowing us to focus solely on your unique concerns and goals without external constraints.
First Session: After your free consultation, our first session together will be 1.5 hours. This is so we ensure that we have enough time to get to know who you are and what you desire to accomplish in counseling. This first session is $200.
Crisis: Should you find yourself in a crisis call 911 or 988 (Suicide Hotline).
