If you are looking for someone to help you sort through an issue or situation, I have been accompanying people on their personal journeys for 15 years. I believe deeply that part of how we navigate life is by being seen and heard well. Whether you are going through a transition personally or professionally, wanting some insight into a situation or feeling, and/or facing an obstacle to growth, we can work together to bring some sense of resolution to your immediate issue. As Therapist (I am also a Certified Life Coach), I work in Shorter Term Solution Focused ways to accompany you in the next step of being your best Self. I have MA in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and a BA in Psychology from Wheaton College. I am also a Certified Life Coach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Olympia, WA
Searching for therapists in Olympia starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for therapy in Olympia for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to focus on. Some bios may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, which can help you decide who may be a strong fit.
Olympia is a smaller city, so local office availability may vary across Downtown, Capitol Hill, Eastside, and nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Washington. Consider practical details like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their work with concerns like counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or couples therapy in Olympia, WA.
Therapy in Olympia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan, with cost estimates shown upfront after you enter your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
