It takes courage to ask for help. Life seems to throw us one challenge after another and we can feel weighed down by the stress of daily living. Sometimes we can lose sight of what makes us feel special and valued. I am here to work with your individual needs. Feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, and loneliness can leave us feeling disconnected from others. If we do not take the time to understand where these feelings stem from and how they affect us, we cannot begin to heal and feel whole again. I value you as an individual and want to understand your unique experiences. I want to help you to feel safe and accepted at all times.

Dr. Tutty and his clinical team provide evidence-based testing and expert testimony for divorce proceedings and associated issues, such as child custody, relocation, and reunification. In addition, testing is provided for neuropsychological (e.g., traumatic brain injury), personal injury (e.g., medical malpractice, auto accidents, abuse), immigration (asylum hardship) and work product reviews. Testing outcomes help inform medical treatment providers, counsel, and the court system on best interest/practice recommendations.

At the edge of your comfort zone is where your journey begins. Challenges are part of life and although we navigate most with courage and confidence, there are times we feel powerless and stuck. By exploring new strategies for understanding our difficulties, we construct a different lens for viewing hardships and subsequently discover our unique capabilities and emerge stronger and wiser. Whether you are a parent struggling with the evolving dynamic of communication with your children, or a partner grappling with the ebb and flow in one's relationship, these are our most essential opportunities for a life changing transformation.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to make sense of the problems that have brought you in, and work towards mutually established goals. Psychotherapy involves verbalizing your thoughts and feelings, exploring relational and behavioral patterns, and learning how past experiences may impact you now. Through this process we strive to gain greater awareness of how both conscious and unconscious processes play out in your emotional, intellectual and relational life. Ultimately, therapy can help individuals come to better understand themselves and exercise greater choice in their lives.

Many clients come to therapy for multiple reasons; most clients are seeking when the "anxiety" is too much to endure. I provide therapy for individuals-(children, adolescents and adults), couples, and facilitate process groups. I also am a multicultural educator. I help individuals cope with mechanisms that will help find ways to make different choices and re-invent ourselves; so we then become the architect, the planner and the builder of our lives, throughout our lives. I provide workshops and presentations that deal with undoing multiple oppressions in both queer and communities of color.

I work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, a history of trauma, grief and loss. ​ My approach to therapy is positive and client-centered. I believe self-discovery and solutions reside within wisdom drawn from your own life experiences. .

People seek therapy for many reasons. Sometimes, a feeling of overwhelm or crisis dominates. Alternately, one may feel "stuck" in one's life -- trapped in long-standing patterns. In our work together, we will address the issues bringing you to therapy and uncover the larger dynamics which are influencing the situations at hand. We will utilize a variety of psychological tools and techniques aimed at cultivating a "greater self"; one better able to navigate life's ups and downs through increased self-acceptance, enhanced natural creativity, a heightened capacity for relationship and an increased ability to contain difficult emotional states.

Working together we can help you with what gets you into trouble, being stuck, a loss, difficulties in a relationship, and achieving your goals. If you are a parent, we will work together to reestablish optimal development and family functioning. Therapy works in many ways. It helps us surrender unhelpful ways of protecting ourselves, learn how to be increasingly self-reflective, develop greater capacities to repair ourselves and our relationships, and augment resilience and happiness. I believe that the deepest understanding and change comes from knowing oneself better, becoming increasingly self-reflective, and experiencing oneself differently in the context of a relationship.

I have been working in the mental health field for over twenty years. Throughout that time I have worked in a variety of settings, all of which have given me a wealth of experience to draw upon. I have always had a passion for the work of psychotherapy, which I feel is ultimately about inner exploration and transformation. Most people come to psychotherapy because they feel like they are stuck in some way. Having another mind and perspective can help to get things moving where they once were stuck. With a spirit of curiosity and collaboration I work with my patients to seek out what may be obstructing their continued growth.

As a licensed psychologist, I have been providing therapy for over 20 years helping individuals and couples to heal, and to create joyful, meaningful lives. Informed by psychological theory and research-supported treatments, such as DBT, and EMDR, as well as alternative methods, such as yoga, spirituality, and mind-body approaches, I will help you access and utilize your own deep wisdom and understanding to address your unique struggles and needs. After treatment, my clients report not only a reduction of symptoms but also an increase in motivation, ease, purpose, and connection.

I am a passionate clinician who sees each client as a person with individual needs, wants, and goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I have experience working with mood, adjustment and anxiety disorders, as well as co-occurring disorder and individuals struggling with interpersonal issues. In the counseling process, I strive to help each client find their own voice to communicate their thoughts and feelings about what they are experiencing on a day to day basis. The aim is that the counseling experience becomes one of comfort in expressing and reconstructing ones personal narrative.

Welcome! Relationships anchor our lives as we experience life in relationship. Experiencing interpersonal and relational conflict is a shared human experience and it occurs at all stages of life. It is not an indicator that we are weak or unworthy, but a reminder that we are human. Freedom comes when we realize that we have the power to make choices that shape the life we want to live. If things in your life are no longer working for you, you can choose to start doing something different today. I welcome the opportunity to learn more about you and the experiences that have brought you to this unique point in your life.

My clients are high achievers by nature. They often come to me because they are climbing the corporate ladder, entering their first job out of college, or making career transitions. Many are experiencing anxiety and imposter syndrome, or even depression. Some examples of issues I specialize in: first generation college graduates struggling with imposter syndrome, new team managers and leaders adjusting to their new roles, and individuals wanting to improve work-life balance. While I do facilitate the therapy process, my clients drive the sessions. Together, our therapeutic endeavor is to help you achieve your goals.

Since the pandemic hit I have shifted to exclusively online video and phone therapy sessions and I find that these modalities work really well. I can help youth in adolescence up to elder-aged adults do the hard work necessary. I intend to be a witness and a companion while listening to you and your story. I am fascinated by the experience of severe anxiety and have had success treating it. I have a lot of experience to bring to bear particularly on the experience of US Military veterans who have been through war and combat trauma. I am especially interested in working with veterans with military sexual trauma.

You may be seeking therapy because you find yourself repeating the same unhelpful patterns – in your relationships, at work or school, or in how you feel and think about yourself – but you don’t seem able to change them. Or you may see and worry about the emotional or behavioral patterns that your child or teenager is developing, and not know how to help them.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Washington. I work with adults, couples and teens who are at a place in their life where they are wanting or needing to make a change, but sometimes not sure how to go about it. My approach encourages clients to take responsibility for their lives but also helps to uncover what obstacles have gotten in the way of them feeling powerful, happy, and in charge of their direction in life.

I work with people who separate their body and mind so that the body does the mind's thinking. But actions such as trichotillomania (hair pulling), over exercising, or second guessing speak an alternative language. They leave you feeling anxious and depressed when your 'will' is thwarted. Unwanted repetitive behaviors tend to complicate every relationship and often affect self esteem, disrupt social (and sexual) life, and interfere with productive and creative efforts. This type of hiding is protective and inhibiting. I believe it's possible to make sense of symptoms, especially if you're curious enough to know the truth.

I am a licensed psychologist with 20 years experience providing psychotherapy and consultation. My approach is gentle, respectful and compassionate, including challenge and encouragement as appropriate. I offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy, emphasizing the development of a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship. My treatment approach is integrative and most influenced by psychoanalytic, humanistic and developmental theories. Psychotherapy involves verbalizing your thoughts and feelings, exploring relational and behavioral patterns, and understanding how past experiences may impact you now. The needs and goals of the individual guide my therapeutic approach. My personal style is down-to-earth and interactive, with an occasional dash of humor.

I help people who struggle with problems that they feel are impossible to change, understand, or even think about. I work well with individuals who are sensitive and creative, and need someone to help them understand the roots of what they struggle with. I don't work well with people who want to be "fixed" without coming to a better understanding of themselves in the process. In my experience, working to understand who you are offers the best hope for lasting change.
