Hi, I'm Rin. I’m a Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington state. My goal is to provide you with a strengths-based, collaborative, and focused environment in which you can feel free to be your whole self. I integrate modalities like EMDR and art therapy to support deeper self-awareness, self-appreciation, and meaningful healing guided by your nervous system.
My approach is also informed by compassion-focused and parts-based modalities. Together, we can explore the different thoughts, emotions, and inner “parts” that may be shaping your experience, with an emphasis on developing a more compassionate and understanding relationship with each of them. Rather than pushing parts away or trying to change them too quickly, we work together to listen, build trust, and create a greater sense of harmony within yourself.
In our first session, my goal is to get to know you—what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what’s been working (and not working) for you so far. We’ll spend some time exploring your background and life experiences, with the focus remaining on what changes you’re hoping to see in your life.
I’ll also introduce some of the approaches I use, and we can begin identifying a few early goals together. There’s no pressure to share everything all at once—this first session is about setting a foundation and beginning to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and aligned with what you need moving forward.
Looking forward to meeting you!
