Priscilla

Hello, my name is Priscilla.  I am a graduate student attending Saint Martin’s University’s Master of Arts in Counseling program in Lacey, Washington. 

I believe in meeting people where they are, with compassion and respect. I tend to utilize a combination of therapeutic approaches such as Person Centered, Internal Family Systems, and self-care strategies through the lens of cultural competency while creating a collaborative relationship with clients. I want to create a space where people feel truly seen, heard and accepted. I believe empathy, understanding and some humor (because sometimes laughter can be just as healing as deep conversation) can create a healthy therapeutic relationship. 

Expressive arts (sketching, colored pencils, painting), literary activities (storytelling, poetry) and book recommendations are a few modalities I recommend when working with clients. My special interests include Neurobiological Development and Family Systems.

Works with ages: All ages. I am especially passionate about working with clients who are navigating anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and life transitions. 

Enjoying nature and gardening are a few of my go-to relaxation activities. In my free time, I enjoy culinary arts, whether that’s trying out new recipes in the kitchen or hosting food-themed gatherings that bring people together. I also enjoy game nights with my family and friends, puzzles, and reading. 

I look forward to meeting you, and I am beyond excited to be a part of this journey of healing and growth!
