"Someone you love has died, and you have no idea how to move through the sorrow. You feel like you're supposed to be strong, and get through the "stages of grief" as fast as possible. You're told your loved one would want you to be happy, and you suspect your sadness makes other's uncomfortable. However, you can't deny the unshakable feeling that life, as you knew it, is never going to be the same, and you have no idea how to live with that reality."

"I am an experienced Seattle psychotherapist with a practice in Madrona counseling couples, individuals, including adolescents, and families. I create a supportive, accepting environment for people to regain hope and create positive, lasting changes in their lives. I believe the key to life-altering therapy is an honest, warm and trusting relationship with your therapist - a place both laughter and tears are welcomed. Most of my clients come to therapy to reduce the suffering in their lives, connect better with the people around them, and cultivate passion and purpose. We work together to develop healthier coping skills and relationships and ultimately more contentment and peace."

"If you are reading this, chances are you find yourself seeking a therapist. Choosing to engage in therapy can be daunting, especially if you have never engaged in the therapy process before. I excel at helping people feel comfortable engaging in therapy. While I do facilitate the therapy process, my clients drive the sessions; I want to ensure you are getting what you need out of therapy and are meeting your therapeutic goals. Individuals, couples and families I enjoy working with include those struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I specialize in serving clients experiencing life transitions and am LGBTQ competent."

"My work is designed to bridge the gap between your desired experience and your current experience. You can begin to feel--and live--differently starting with the first session. Through our work together you gain a sense of connection to your true desires and the energy to create the life you really want. Rather than just talking about something, you will have the opportunity to experience something different that then extends to daily life. My practice combines modern nueroscience with ancient healing arts and somatic psychology. I believe it's the tailored combination of creative approaches that achieves your goals."

"My healing begins from a place of connection and an appreciation of your potential and the power we have to impact each other. I will support you in your search for greater meaning, emotional awareness and empowerment in a world that can be stressful and isolating. We will begin a thoughtful exploration of how your past experiences and relationships impact you presently. Together we will uncover and co-create new meanings out of your experiences, these new understandings will give you the power to relate differently to yourself and others. "

"From all appearances, you've got it so good. Lying in wait, just under the surface, are the life traumas that wounded you deeply but were never addressed. And those secrets have you turning to substances more and more. One weekly drink becomes a daily bottle, and you're making excuses to your boss, your friends, your family. Do you want to quit but you don't know how? I can help you find your way out of this despair and into the life you want. You can do this. Let's talk."

"Whether your goal is to achieve greater self awareness, build stronger personal relationships, heal past wounds, or just feel better about yourself, a therapeutic relationship can help meet that goal. I would like to join you on your journey of self discovery as an advocate, partner and guide. My particular approach is help you discover your own natural resources by tapping into your subconscious to uncover blockages to healing and actualizing your fullest potential. This approach is especially useful with trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, addiction and habits that are hard to break - such as smoking and over-eating."

"We all find ourselves in circumstances at one time or another that call for adjusting to change or making decisions, whether it's charting a path through grief and loss, developmental transitions, job loss, recovering from trauma or the challenges of parenting. Therapy can be helpful in sorting through confusing thoughts and feelings, gaining insight, establishing a course of action amongst different choices, and building confidence through experiencing a deeper understanding of yourself, all in the context of a caring relationship."

"My practice focuses on helping children, teens and adults address chronic issues. I work primarily with individuals who are experiencing mood issues or concerns, including depression, anxiety or recurring negative thinking. I also have considerable experience in helping families who are struggling with behavioral and/or communication issues and working directly with teens who need additional support."

"I am a nationally certified school psychologist, education specialist and licensed mental health counselor. I specialize in evaluations for learning disabilities, attention and emotional difficulties, and any other issues affecting a student's functioning and behavior at school and at home. Based on the evaluation I write 504 Plans for accommodations, or make recommendations for an Individual Education Plan. In addition I provide consultation for intervention plans to both families and schools. I also evaluate students for the Highly Capable/Gifted programs, as well as entry into private schools. I work with individuals age 5 to 29, and am proficient in Spanish."

"I help empower individuals to create meaningful change in their lives by providing the relationship, container, and opportunities for clients to transcend trauma, anxiety, and depression. In doing so clients are able to live more full, authentic, and genuine lives free from the past and grounded in the present. I have a wide range of experience working people of all ages with a variety of symptoms. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are dealing with or have experienced trauma, loss, oppression (internal and external), sexual identity, anxiety, and depression."

"My practice specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and mood disorders. I provide individual treatment for adults and late adolescents. My goal is to provide individualized, compassionate, effective, evidence-based treatment for individuals with anxiety and mood disorders. My approach has its grounding in CBT but when appropriate I also use mindfulness techniques, components of Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy to enhance the treatment and support the client's movement toward accomplishing treatment goals."

"Welcome everyone to my practice!! I have been working with children, teens, families and couples since 2001 at non-profit agencies and private practice here in the Seattle area . I specialize in family relational issues, adolescent struggles, crisis interventions, loss and grief issues, depression, anxiety and fears, and general unhappiness and desire for growth. With my experience and education I have been able to hone my skills to create what I believe to be a positive, caring atmosphere necessary for the growth and change that can occur in a therapy session."

"I am a clinical psychologist dedicated to compassionate care and a balanced approach based in psychological science.

"Whether you are struggling with a specific issue, or a more general feeling of being "stuck," my goal as your counselor is to help you navigate these challenges so that you can create the life you want to live. My counseling approach is based on the unique needs of the individual, and together, we will determine how therapy can be most useful for you. We will identify goals that align with your values and work to develop the tools that will help you to reach your desired changes."

"The strength of my approach lies in my ability to help empower my clients to know their truth and take charge of their lives. Many come to me overwhelmed and isolated; they lack energy, feel "paralyzed" by decision-making or wrestle with judgmental inner voices. At the heart of this is a struggle to find and accept themselves. I offer an integrative perspective, combining talk therapy with mindfulness techniques, psychological principles with spiritual traditions. I help you connect to yourself and the world around you; work with challenging emotions; and cultivate greater self-love."

"I comprehensively treat individuals and couples with sexual/relationship issues. I address communication/intimacy problems and all sexual concerns, including inhibited or low sexual desire, male erection and female arousal problems, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, vaginismus, lack of orgasm, sexual and emotional skills, sexual "addiction," and sexual trauma. I also fine-tune sex lives. I am a cognitive (CBT) therapist. AASECT and five other national boards certify me as a sex therapist and a sexologist. I help clients get rid of distorted and negative thinking, which has a positive effect on emotions, behaviors and relationships. I assign homework/home-play!"

I offer a mindfulness-based approach to provide you with holistic therapy that encourages mind, body, and emotional awareness."
