About Narrows Counseling

Trauma-informed telehealth therapy across Washington for adults and couples seeking deeper healing, stronger relationships, and meaningful change.

About the Practice

Narrows Counseling is a private-pay telehealth practice serving adults and couples across Washington since 2020. The practice was built to offer thoughtful, depth-oriented care for people who want more than surface-level coping and are ready for focused support that leads to lasting change.

Our work is especially suited for clients navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, burnout, grief, and long-standing patterns that continue to affect daily life and connection. We also offer therapeutic intensives for clients who want a more focused format than weekly therapy alone.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide specialized telehealth therapy across Washington that helps adults and couples move beyond stuck patterns into deeper healing, stronger connection, and lasting change.

Founder's Note

"Narrows Counseling was created to offer the kind of care that makes room for depth, steadiness, and meaningful change. Too often, people carry painful experiences, emotional overwhelm, or relational struggles for a long time before finding support that feels both safe and effective. My hope in building this practice was to create a space where adults and couples could receive thoughtful, trauma-informed care that goes beyond surface-level coping and supports deeper healing.

I believe therapy should be grounded, compassionate, and clinically skilled. It should help people understand what is happening beneath the surface, work through what feels stuck, and move toward healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Whether someone is seeking weekly therapy, couples counseling, or a more focused intensive, the goal is the same: to provide care that is steady, meaningful, and responsive to the whole person.

It is a privilege to do this work and to serve clients across Washington through Narrows Counseling."

Approach to Care

Therapy at Narrows Counseling is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based care and tailored to each client’s needs. Depending on the client and the goals of the work, therapy may include Brainspotting, EMDR-informed trauma processing, somatic and nervous system-informed care, attachment-based therapy, and emotionally focused work with couples.

The goal is to support greater clarity, steadiness, healing, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

What Makes This Work Different

At Narrows Counseling, therapy is not approached as a quick fix or a place to simply talk through the week. The work is designed to create space for deeper understanding, meaningful processing, and lasting change.

Many clients come here after trying to manage things on their own for a long time or after gaining insight without feeling real movement. Narrows Counseling was built for people who want thoughtful, trauma-informed care that helps address what is happening beneath the surface, not just the symptoms that appear on top of it.

This work is grounded, relational, and paced with care. The goal is not to rush the process, but to support healing that is steady, intentional, and able to reach the places where people often feel most stuck.
