"My patients are usually hard working adults who have run into some tough times or are experiencing difficult emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems or professional stress. I also help patients identify and treat addictions. My style is warm, collaborative and supportive, but also forward-moving and goal oriented. My work encourages healing, growth and making practical, lasting and positive change in your life. I primarily use evidence-based cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapies such as ACT and DBT. My practice is culturally inclusive and LGBTQ friendly."

"I am currently on extended medical leave and will not be able to accept new clients."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist treating individuals, couples and families with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual concerns and career challenges. I work to establish a place where people can disclose and pursue their most personal challenges openly and truthfully."

"I strive to be down-to-earth, attentive and compassionate and believe a strong collaboration between therapist and client can lead to deeper healing and connection. A fundamental component to my work is my continued trust and respect for clients' intuition."

"If what you are doing is no longer working then it's time to do something different. Research shows that clients have therapeutic success with multiple approaches and theories. Therefore my approach integrates different therapeutic styles and techniques. I specialize in sexual addiction, spiritual direction and spiritual and person-centered therapies. I will help you understand yourself better so you may have happier relationships, communicate better, build true intimacy and restore trust. I will provide a safe and sacred place for you in which to explore your needs, frustrations, fears and as importantly your joys and successes!"

"I am a Washington licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in psychodynamic and relational-interpersonal psychotherapy. I also provide psychological assessment to individuals across the lifespan. I believe that coming to therapy can help you address the roots of your mental and emotional struggles, which in turn can help to manage your symptoms. It is my aim to provide you with a place where you can get to know yourself better, explore your strengths and challenges without judgment, and find support to identify over time which patterns may be serving you and which may be getting in your way."

"My background balances research-driven and scientifically minded psychology with a holistic, systemic, and presence-based approach to therapy. I use this background to help my clients expand their understanding of self by tuning in to the notes of their experience they may not be used to hearing. For some that may look like guiding a highly cognitive person into their emotional world, and for others that may look like guiding a highly emotive person into a new way of thinking. But whatever patterns you find yourself in, I can be a guide in expanding your range."

"Are you going through a major life transition, such as a recent move to Seattle or a change in the status of your -or a loved one's-job, relationship, or health? Major transitions in life, whether seen as positive or negative, can stir up a lot of mixed emotions and bring up old issues from the past. I am experienced in helping people during times of confusion, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and of struggle with old traumatic injuries. I can help you find compassion, open insight, and create value and meaning from this time of transition."

"I work with people who are feeling stuck or at a crossroads. I know what a difficult and scary place that can be. As a therapist, I meet you just where you're at, with openness and compassion. We'll work together to help you better understand what is getting in your way and how to find your way to a place of greater freedom and possibilities."

"If you have struggled to find a therapist who understands the intersection of race/ethnicity, culture, and sexuality can have on your life and your mental health. If you're feeling lonely, depressed, and lost and confused about who you are. I want you to know that there is hope for you and you can make changes towards understanding all of you. You can boldly discover your inner self and find healing through discovery of your personal strengths and embracing what makes you unique."

"Maybe anxiety, depression, and self-defeating thoughts are all trying to communicate something important. I offer a space, a process and an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities to help you listen differently. Letting go, giving yourself what you truly need, and allowing change is often easier said than done; but it is possible."

"I help people emerge from patterns of inner chaos. Beyond coping, we can work together to support meaningful transformation from the nervous system up. Previous overwhelming or under-nourishing experiences can leave you feeling divorced from your body and distant from the present moment. I can help you come out of the stress cycles of fight, flight and freeze and gain a new sense of self-knowing and self-trust. As your nervous system settles and resilient rhythms return, you can enter the wilderness of your inner life with less fear and more curiosity."

"I am a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Fellow of the International Board of Hypnotherapy (IBH). IBH maintains the highest level of initial and ongoing certification in the field of hypnotherapy. I work on issues relating to stress reduction and anxiety, phobias, smoking cessation, and weight loss, as well as medical support issues realting to pain managment. In addition to my private hypnotherapy practice, I am pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (PsyD). My doctoral research focus is on therapeutic models that combine both cognitive behavioral and hypnotherapeutic modalities in treating stress-related disorders."

"My therapeutic practice focuses on helping people from all walks address a wide range of issues including adult ADHD, grief and loss, relationship struggles, depression, and recovery from past trauma and heartache. I have extensive experience working with youth and families and have had considerable success working with young and middle aged adults. My work with individuals involves facilitating awareness and insight on how the influences of the past impacts present behavioral, emotional, and cognitive patterns. I focus on interpersonal dynamics, attachment issues, and the function of one's personality type/relational style as it relates to the issues presented."

"You're independent, driven, and you don't often ask for help. You like to tackle your problems head-on, but you don't know how to fix this problem. You've always been your own harshest critic, and that has helped you succeed in the past, but now that voice has turned on you and is tearing you down. On the outside, everything looks fine, but on the inside you're drowning. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to control your feelings. You don't know how to make this better."

"Marital and family relationships are often the source of our greatest joys, fears, pain, hopes, and aspirations. These relationships also have tremendous power to create meaningful and lasting positive change. My role is to collaborate with the couple and/or family system in ways that help reduce the distress and co-create meaningful changes in clients' lives. Successful therapy effectively shifts the communication, roles, and relationships with those who matter most in your life."

"I want to help you find the depths of your character and personality, to learn about your inherent lovability and to help you find your appreciation of beauty and meaning in your life. What gets in the way of that is often trauma from our past and the beliefs we built out of less than perfect events and even day to day experiences. Through an eclectic combination of a variety of therapeutic techniques, you and I will work together to remove the obstacles that get in your way and to appreciate all that life has brought to you."

"My approach to counseling is evidence based and client-centered. I hold the belief that every person is inherently good, lovable, capable, and resilient; thus, I draw upon the client's perception and wisdom to inform the use of interventions. I believe in the importance of meeting each individual where they are at, and working collaboratively with clients to reach their goals."

"The decision to pursue psychotherapy, counseling or life coaching is an important and personal one. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to help you decide if the services that I provide will meet your needs. As a therapist, I will offer you an objective perspective and a safe environment for you to explore the aspects of your life that are challenging or creating you hardship. My primary goal is to help you to internalize your optimal values & innate strengths to empower you and enable you to live the life you desire and deserve."
