Soothing Harp Counseling

I hold a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space for clients to comfortably express themselves. I use a client-centered approach, tailoring sessions to meet individual needs. I practice active listening, integrating multiple perspectives, and using evidence-based interventions to help clients heal past trauma and establish a meaningful, balanced life. A Little About Me: I earned my Bachelor of Music in Harp Performance from Boston University, traveled extensively as a professional harpist, and eventually earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington. I enjoy counseling adults at every stage of life, and my specialty is counseling adults who have ASD and identify as neurodivergent. I provide a culturally sensitive, strength-based, trauma-informed-care approach to mental health and counseling. I celebrate diversity and respectfully acknowlege that clients are the experts of their lives. Here are some of the ways I support clients: - Explore personalized self-care activities and coping skills as a path to healing - Consider your life journey and discover who you are now - Improve communication skills and interpersonal effectiveness using evidence-based practice interventions - Help you to manage social anxiety and sensory sensitivities - Recognize empowerment through advocating for yourself and people you care about - Help you intentionally set sustainable healthy boundaries and maintain them - Introduce and practice DBT skills, including mindfulness and radical acceptance Finding ways to relax and reframe your thoughts can help you get unstuck from negative cognitive loops. Therapeutic harp music may support clients in letting go of anxiety and embracing tranquility. Clients may find peace of mind through listening to live therapeutic harp music or by exploring gentle, resonant sounds on a musical instrument of their choice. I accept self-pay clients and most major insurances. If you think we may be a good fit, please reach out to me directly through phone or email.
