About Sybil

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle where I have been practicing since 2016. In 2015 I received my masters degree in Existential Phenomenological Therapeutic Psychology at Seattle University, a program which uses philosophy to ground the therapeutic relationship in ethics that honor the whole person. It also facilitated a deep respect for the here and now, the embodied emotional, mental, and spiritual experience of being.

I am passionate about integrating parts of self that have been lost or are stuck and helping them to find space in one’s life as they re-emerge. I believe strongly that we each have deeply rooted wisdom that helps us survive and grow. By coming to reconnect with and trust our wisdom and intuition we establish a strong foundation of learning to navigate an ever-changing world. My role is to witness and enter into this process with you as a guide into the unknown through healing exploration, conversation, play, and art.

I studied for 3 years at the Seattle School of Body Psychotherapy. There I began learning somatic healing interventions through experiential learning and direct instruction that truly honor the functional integration and unity of body, emotion, psyche, behavior, and spirit.

Until the fall of 2020 I also worked as a clinician with A Positive Alternative (APA), an outpatient alcohol and substance abuse treatment center in Seattle, Washington that provides a non-12 step model of rehabilitation and recovery. I currently hold a trainee certificate in Chemical Dependency (CDPT).

Prior to this, I worked in Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization (PHP) levels of care with adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with different forms of disabling experiences of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, and PTSD.

When I am not working as a therapist, I am cooking, playing with my dogs, coaching youth soccer, and standing in awe of magnificent trees!
