About Sommer
She aims to make sessions straightforward and relatable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps can make life feel more manageable. Sommer helps people name difficult feelings, spot patterns in relationships, and practice ways to reduce overwhelming anxiety or low mood.
Her background includes nearly two decades of professional work in mental health across Washington. That experience informs a steady, patient approach when addressing complex concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment, and family of origin issues. She also helps with practical problems such as communication difficulties, codependency, and managing control and perfectionism.
In session she breaks down problems into concrete pieces. For people struggling with obsessive thoughts, body image, or compulsive behaviors, she helps create clear plans to interrupt unhelpful cycles. For those facing divorce, midlife questions, or a search for life purpose, she supports steps toward greater clarity and forward movement.
Sommer speaks English and does not work with international clients at this time. She encourages anyone ready to begin to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.
