Seeking help is brave
You don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns — and you’re not in this alone
Let's explore what’s been holding you back and help you create a life that feels calmer, more connected, and truly your own.
Specialties
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is an effective treatment for a number of emotional and mental challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, and PTSD/trauma. Individual therapy can help increase your understanding of your thought and behavior patterns, which leads to healthier behaviors, communication, and an overall greater sense of well-being.
Learning how to manage stress, interpersonal difficulties, and troubling situations with effective strategies creates harmony in your life and your relationships with others.
EMDR Therapy
If you're feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, overwhelmed by past experiences, or reacting more strongly than you'd like in certain situations, EMDR therapy might offer relief.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed approach that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. You don’t have to retell your trauma in detail — instead, we use gentle techniques like eye movements or tapping to support your nervous system’s natural healing process.
Many people turn to EMDR to work through:
- Trauma or PTSD
- Childhood emotional wounds
- Anxiety that feels rooted in the past
- Emotional sensitivity in relationships
- Persistent low self-worth
I offer EMDR as part of ongoing therapy, and also provide adjunctive EMDR for clients who have another primary therapist but want focused trauma work. If you’re curious, I’d be happy to answer questions and explore whether it’s a good fit for you.
About me
Hi, I'm Robyn
I specialize in treating individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, grief, and maintenance counseling after treatment for eating disorders.
Counseling is a collaborative process. The therapeutic relationship between you and me is essential in helping you find new and effective ways of navigating your challenges and reaching your goals. Seeking help is a brave step, and I will meet you where you are with empathy, compassion, acceptance, and appreciation for the uniqueness that makes you who you are.
It is my pleasure to serve as a Board Member for the Washington Mental Health Counselors Association (WMHCA), a "professional organization working exclusively to meet the needs of Licensed Mental Health Counselors in Washington State."
Education
I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Puget Sound and my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Saint Martin's University. My graduate education follows the CACREP standards, ensuring relevant and high-quality mental health counselors standards.
I’m an EMDR-trained therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), with specialized training in trauma-informed care and nervous system regulation. I'm committed to ongoing education and stay current with research-backed approaches so I can offer clients the most effective, compassionate support possible. Continuing to learn and grow as a therapist is an essential part of how I show up for the people I work with.
Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is flexible and personalized — I integrate different methods to create a way of working that fits you and what you’re going through. I see you as a whole person — not just your thoughts or feelings, but your body, your emotions, and even your spirit.
Lasting change happens when we understand how all these parts connect and find a path that feels right for you.
Outside of Work
In my free time, you'll find me reading, meditating, working on home improvement projects, spending time with my family and friends, or taking a walk with my Labradors.
