Meet Peter
Areas of focus: Career Coaching, College Prep, Premarital & Couples Counseling
I work with college students, adults, and couples in person and via Telehealth. I provide talk therapy through various lenses, drawing from elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused approaches. My style is relaxed, practical, and growth-oriented. In our counseling relationship, my goal is to help you move forward to engage in life more fully with courage and clarity. I love bringing a collaborative spirit to our work together and am passionate about sharing new skills, tools, and insights for the journey.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy being outside, trying new coffee shops with my wife, running and cycling, and finding new cooking recipes at home.

Meet Courtney
Areas of focus: Women’s Issues, Premarital & Couples Counseling, Depression
It can be easy to feel hopeless and stuck in our difficult circumstances. Asking for help is a brave step, and it’s my hope that from the moment you ask, you would know that you have someone with you as you navigate life’s many challenges.
I use an integrative approach to counseling combining elements of attachment theory, family systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and interpersonal psychotherapy to care for both individuals and couples, as well as drawing on my own life experiences. My style is empathetic, down to earth, and growth-oriented.
When not counseling I enjoy traveling with my husband, going on walks with my daughter, and exploring the beauty of the PNW!

Meet Lindsay
Areas of focus: Trauma, Anxiety, Relationship Concerns, Perinatal/Postpartum Care
Because we are created for relationships, we can’t heal alone. We need others to come alongside us to offer empathy, insight, support, and hope as we navigate a way forward through our challenges. I seek to offer you a safe and trusted space to process the vulnerable parts of your story. We will collaboratively explore relationships and patterns influencing current behaviors, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. The goal will be to uncover the root causes of your concerns and address past wounds that keep you stuck and hold you back from the wholeness you were created for.
I use a relational and trauma-informed approach, drawing upon evidence-based models such as attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, and internal family systems theory.
Outside of work, I love being a mom, spending time with my family, cheering my daughters on in their endeavors, connecting deeply with others, and outdoor adventures.

Meet Esther
Areas of focus: Child & Adolescent Counseling, Behavioral Issues, Coping Skills, Family Counseling
Progress > perfection. 🌱
As a counselor, I believe that everyone is capable of growth, and that therapy can provide some additional support to help you meet your goals. With every client, I blend person-centered care, behavioral strategies, and reality therapy to create a plan that fits their age, strengths, and needs. I meet people where they are—across all ages and backgrounds.
I’ve been a counselor for 10+ years and support ADHD, anxiety, social skills, behavior challenges, and more.
Off the clock, I’m probably exploring somewhere new with a good cup of coffee in hand. ✈️☕️

Additionally, my prior experience working with children and teenagers provides me with unique insight into the struggles that come up in parenting.

Starting therapy does not make you weak, rather–it shows that you are strong enough to ask for help.
