Hi, I’m Zoë. Welcome to Gathering Light Counseling.
About Me & My Approach
I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative. You’re the expert on your life - I’m here to help you make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences that may feel tangled or hard to navigate. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and Systems Theory - a framework that recognizes our struggles don’t happen in a vacuum. Our relationships, environments, and personal histories all shape who we are and how we feel.
At its core, therapy is about finding what works for you. I bring experience and insight, and you bring your lived wisdom. Together, we’ll figure out what helps you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to what matters most.
I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker practicing individual therapy in the greater Seattle area. My style combines practical tools with self-exploration, blending techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy. This gives us flexibility - whether you need coping strategies, help reframing unhelpful thoughts, or space to process and explore your values. I welcome adults across the lifespan, including LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC, and those from other marginalized communities. Whoever you are, whatever your story, you deserve a space where you feel seen and supported.
