"You want to see so many ways in your life, to know your true identity, to find relief, and to start to enjoy life again? You are one step closer to get there after you decided to take the first step to seek counseling. The next step is to knock down the blocks by working with your therapist. Based on my own personal life experiences confusion, pain, and wounds can heal up and recover with effective care and treatment. By working hand in hand with professional you'll find the skills and tools to run a better life! "

"Your decision to enter the process of therapy is an act of trust that I take seriously and respectfully. I've had the privilege of assisting women, men, couples and youth as they work through the variety of experiences and challenges that make us human. Although I was initially trained in psychodynamic and attachment theory, we may incorporate any of several clinical approaches. What suits the client's needs and preferences is key. Together, we create a supportive atmosphere where what matters to the client can be expressed and explored. More satisfying and effective ways of moving forward can be nurtured."

"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."

"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 have an internet-based practice using the "WECounsel" portal for video sessions. My practice focusses on assessment & treatment of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Spectrum, Work & Life Issues, Family Problems. I enjoy seeing both adults and adolescents. I start with a full evaluation of your concerns so that important issues are not overlooked. This information allows us to work together to prioritize your concerns. I have a warm interactive style that many people prefer because I believe it is helpful to share my impressions and experience with you. In this way we can develop a collaborative process and work as a team together."

"I provide psychotherapy to individuals and families to promote growth and empowerment through supportive listening, mindfulness, and examination of past experiences, allowing clients to cultivate insight and bring about lasting change. I use a collaborative and dynamic approach that incorporates multiple theoretical approaches and techniques to meet both individual and family needs and preferences. I believe that insight alone does not bring about change; rather, we must do something different to become something different. I offer compassion, humor, honesty, and straightforward feedback while I empower individuals and families to explore their own goals and work toward growth and healing."

"Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief? Sometimes life happens and we feel stuck. Unmanageable thoughts or feelings might take over and what used to feel okay begins to feel out of control. When everyday life seems like too much, if you feel overwhelmed, alone or isolated in your thoughts, seeking counseling is a courageous and kind step towards groundedness, relief, and ultimately healing."

"Therapy is a powerful vehicle of self-discovery. It's an opportunity to deepen understanding of our patterns and behaviors - and cultivate a more authentic relationship with ourselves and others. I work with individuals to successfully meet life's challenges, navigate change, and develop practices to grow into our best selves. From a place of collaboration and warmth, I assist clients to uncover the strengths, clarity, and resources needed for lasting change. I customize therapy for each person and provide an affirming environment for clients of all religious, ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds and sexual orientations."

"I believe in empowerment and expanding our strengths, which we may not always know we have. The therapeutic process can be difficult and I strive to provide a safe space for comfort, insight, and positive changes to occur. Each session is structured around your needs--your personal experiences and how you choose to express them are what make these sessions unique from others. You should not feel as if you have to struggle alone or come up with the solutions by yourself. I will help guide you through this journey to achieve the emotional well-being you deserve."

"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."

"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."

"I specialize in helping people feel better about themselves. I support individuals and families recovering from eating disorders, substance abuse, and trauma. I also enjoy and am experienced in couple's counseling. My approach is direct and active. If I am doing my job well, you will feel comfortable enough to speak openly about what troubles you so that we can help you better enjoy yourself and move towards the life you desire. I bring honesty, kindness, and humor to our work together."

"Finding the right therapist is not an easy task, especially if you are queer, trans, non-binary, gay and lesbian . For the last 8 years, I've been primarily working with LGBTQIA folks. Many of us experience depression, anxiety, intense self doubt, even self hatred. In my practice we can use both talk and art therapy to maneuver through these tough and confusing emotions."

"Every person has a story. My role is to help make sense of it. I see individuals and couples who seek change or who are in the midst of emotional pain and confusion. While I often utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I start where you are, with an integrative approach that allows space for your experience to guide the process. I am an active and curious listener. Together, we will determine the route you want to take in therapy, and in your life."

"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."

"Perhaps you are feeling lost and overwhelmed. Stuck in feelings of sadness and dread with a sense that something terrible is going to happen or that it will never get better. Perhaps your outward life is going better than ever--and still, there is a persistent, internal voice that leaves you awash in feelings of shame or doubt. Maybe you have been holding secrets. And maybe you are having difficulty moving on from an abusive or an emotionally turbulent relationship--haunted by the betrayals and the lingering questions."

"You may feel unhappy or stuck in relationships because others don't seem to understand you. My groups are "process" groups. In a process group, we talk about the feelings that come up during the group time. This lets group members get an honest reflection of their behavior from their peers, rather than something watered down by a therapist. This is a great way to build what I call "Emotional Muscle." With Emotional Muscle, you gain more self-control. You still feel your feelings, but you choose how you respond. Some people call this the ability to "self-soothe.""

"In my experience, things can start getting better fast, long before the problem is solved. Rated in the top 1% of psychotherapists on LinkedIn, I'm warm, practical, experienced & hard-working. I'll help you tackle problems related to trauma, difficult childhoods, bad bosses, relationships of all sorts that just don't work well, and the distress of having repeated disappointments in life. I'm interested in helping make real change, and not just developing interesting insights (although they can be useful too.)"

"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."
