Have you been seeking greater calm, clarity, and centeredness? Are you carrying deep traumas or stresses that continually hinder you from living life to the fullest? If so, I want to assure you that you are not alone. Seeking help takes courage, and I want you to feel at ease throughout the process. Whether you are dealing with trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, panic, anxiety, grief, depression, or relational issues, my approach is individualized, inclusive, and strengths-based. Every step of the way, I want you to feel deeply seen, heard, and empowered.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or your life’s purpose? Are stress and uncertainty making it tough to envision what you truly desire? I’ll work with you to better understand yourself, leverage strengths, and align with your most meaningful goals. I’m particularly attuned to working with creative, high-intensity, and out-of-the-box thinkers. Constellations of these traits often include aspects of ADHD, giftedness, high sensitivity, and other forms of neurodivergence. I also specialize in working with unique concerns that can emerge at midlife.

When coming into a session with me, you can expect to be met with warmth and nonjudgment and acceptance. I take an integrative approach to counseling with an emphasis on looking at the individual from a holistic point of view. Rather than concentrating on dysfunction, I strive to help people fulfill their potential and maximize their well-being. The therapeutic relationship I create with my clients is the most important part of this process, I collaborate with my clients throughout to find the most effective evidence-based treatments and create a personalized experience towards what wellness means for you.

You have worlds to explore within yourself, so much strength to uncover, feelings to connect with, and pain to heal. My intention is not to "fix" you, but to help you reclaim your power so that you can feel confident in your innate ability to work toward balance and growth. My aim is always for you to feel safe, seen, and heard. In a world that seems to constantly pull your energy outward in a way that doesn't serve you, I want to provide you with a space where you can turn inward, with intention and compassion.

I Am Accepting New Clients. Are you facing changes in your life, grappling with difficult decisions, or wanting to build better relationships? Are you looking for a therapist who will listen with compassion and without judgement, and who will teach you effective practical tools for your problems? An outside, neutral person to help you find a new perspective?

Like in music, sometimes in life we need to pause and listen to how the notes of our experiences resonate before moving on. The practice of pausing and reflecting offers a chance to consider the meaning of what has come before so we can more effectively engage this moment now to ultimately yield beauty and connection with life we might have never known. This is Fermata Therapy. Here we listen to the tune of your life, past and present. With pause and reflection we make space for you to discover and create what is needed—a different rhythm, key, or voice better suited to your melody—so you can live your most authentic life-song.

Seeking therapy is a courageous, empowering step. Although you are strong, you shouldn't have to walk through life's hardships alone. I provide individual and couples counseling with a mindful and compassionate approach around subjects such as grief and loss, depression and anxiety, reclaiming one's self esteem, relational trauma, conflict resolution, fertility struggles, and new motherhood, to name a few. I am continually amazed by our natural ability to heal and thrive given the right kind of attention and caring presence.

Are current events triggering feelings of worry and despair? Perhaps past traumas are coming up for review? Are you experiencing a shift in what really, deeply matters to you? I would love to help you reflect, sort out, and heal. I offer teletherapy sessions (audio, visual) to clients in Washington State in the comfort of your own home. I enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety and panic, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. Specialties include working with health care professionals, including physicians, with stress and work-related trauma.

As a couple, family, & individual therapist, I honor the importance of our inherent human need to be in fulfilling connection with others and ourselves. And I recognize how difficult this can sometimes be. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by the level of conflict in your day-to-day family interactions, going through a major life transition, or seeking individual therapy to explore how past hurt and current challenges are constraining you from more fully inhabiting your life, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth. I offer a free consultation to explore our possible work together.

I am passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space for people to process their struggles and their desires. Whether you are struggling with a specific problem (anxiety, stress, healthy sexuality, grief, marriage or relationship issues); questions about your work, career, vocation; or want someone to process life changes with, I will partner with you for hope, healing and change.

My passion is to help individuals and families discover their strengths and resources. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a post-graduate certificate in Medical Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University. I am a Certified Sex Therapist by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists. I am a Mental Health Professional, Brainspotting practitioner, Child Mental Health Professional, State and AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Asian and Pacific Islander Ethnic Minority Mental Health Specialist.

The ideal client is an individual ready to make active change. Change is subjective and can be both big and small therefore, we start where you are and not where others think you should be. This is a collaborative approach in which you receive support and guidance towards the growth that you would like to see. I am fully invested in my clients and take the time to apply factors that can also hinder and promote success. My artistic background also allows me to be open to thinking outside the box when needed. I encourage you to think and explore both challenges and probable solutions as you continue in your therapeutic experience

Every interaction is a step somewhere. Every movement, no matter how small, is our way of evolving, affecting, creating. I’m confident that our meeting will be part of discovering what resonates with you, what speaks to you – connecting to that inner voice that is yours alone. This really is all we have. We are meant to discover how we are made, the truth of who we are, and to live from this place. This is the place of peace. This is the place of love. My hope is for you to discover a space with a therapist that has resonance. This is where life expands. New energy, new breath, new possibilities. Find out if your place is with me.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and behavior change, I will help you identify and implement the changes you need to reduce your suffering and truly thrive. While you can't control what life throws at you, you can improve your ability to respond to the present moment in a skillful way, find your balance again and get back up on your feet. From a present, strengths-based perspective, we can look ahead and explore where you would like the path ahead of you to lead. I will walk alongside you on that path to celebrate what we uncover and to support you through any obstacles you may encounter along the way.

Hi, my name is Lina. I am a queer, latine(x), white, femme therapist offering support in the greater Seattle area. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and attachment challenges, especially folks who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with a wide range of clients from children with FASD, young adults working through childhood trauma, and teenagers coming out as trans. Each one of us has a unique set of needs, so I am here to meet you where you are and walk with you at your pace.

I welcome adults (18+) of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and disabilities. I work with and have helped individuals who experience: anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, difficulties in relationships or career, meaning/purpose, feeling “stuck”, people in recovery from substance use, academic issues, and more. Many of the clients I’ve worked with want a deeper understanding of themselves and a more fulfilling life in addition to relief from the aforementioned symptoms.

If you’re experiencing shame, guilt, or crippling perfectionism, I would like to help. You may feel stuck, wrestling with constant self-criticism or struggling with the same damaging ideas for years making self-acceptance impossible. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to endure it alone. I hope to create a space where you feel safe to share your story, support you in navigating the most painful parts, and ultimately help you find healing and wholeness. While we can’t change the past, we can shape its impact on our present and future.

Sometimes our old patterns and beliefs (arising from earlier unresolved experiences) prevent us from living our present-day life and relationships with the creativity, peace, and joy we desire. Perhaps we are missing one of our best resources, our capacity to listen and respond to our body's story (autonomic nervous system) with compassion and support. When we learn these updated listening skills, our whole being feels more seen, heard, and "welcomed home" by us!
