Hi there! My name is Israella, but you can call me Issy. I know how crucial finding the right therapist is for your mental health journey. I want to recognize how hard it can be to take the first step. I'm so proud of you. My mission is to provide vital support to couples, families, and individuals of all ages and backgrounds seeking top-tier mental health care in Washington. I empower my clients to gain profound insights into their strengths and weaknesses while developing effective coping mechanisms and communication skills. However, life often presents us with unexpected challenges, leaving us feeling unprepared.

Are you tired of the same argument, different day? Each argument results in one person shutting down, the other person feeling alone, and both partners feeling misunderstood and hurt. Things don't have to be this way. I assist couples in developing safety and vulnerability to strengthen the relationship bond and learn how to talk about the complex issues of the relationship. Many of us never learned how to have our emotional needs met, or how to respond to someone's emotional needs. It can feel like speaking a foreign language.

I support families, adults and elders in navigating difficult times more gracefully. As we rush through our busy lives, we can feel lost and disconnected from our best selves. We can even become so immersed in our negative culture that we feel a deep sense of hopelessness. We can forget that we are smart, strong, tenacious and resilient. I can help you bring a greater sense of purpose and hope into your life.

My practice specializes in gender identity development and sexual orientation. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults (as well as adults beginning to question their identity). Therapy focuses on anxiety management, gender dysphoria, coming out, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and the process of transitioning (if desired). Whether someone is exploring new feelings or has identified as LGBTQ+ for years, the challenges they face may bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, confusion, and even anger. Working with an experienced therapist trained in gender and sexual minority issues can help.

I believe that people have the answers to their own questions inside of themselves and work in tandem with clients to discover their own solutions in respectful partnership. I have over 30 years of experience and work with people from all walks of life. I work with adults and youth (age 14-65). I have encountered people who have experienced trauma of many types and endevour to walk beside them as they revisit their experience and express their truth. I work with those who have diffiuclty with anger, anxiety and depression. I have training and experience with people in LGBTQ, Trans, Poly, BDSM and other marginalized communities.

Email is the easiest correspondence, I am often unable to answer phone calls. Are you having difficulty finding balance or meaning in your life? Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's day to day challenges? Are you struggling with your relationships or parenting? Are you suffering the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression? Does healing feel impossible? Sometimes, we might know something has to change, but not know where to start. While the counseling process can feel scary, you are not alone. My goal is to empower change by providing a safe, healing environment that supports self discovery and understanding.

Anxiety, panic, worry and stress can hold people back from performing in life. It can hold people back in school, from getting the job they want, getting promoted, and flourishing in relationships. Trying to escape anxiety can lead people to doing things they wouldn't normally do. When people are frozen with fear they are not living life fully as their authentic selves. Working with a therapist can break you free from anxiety. I've helped so many people work through these feelings to go on to be more successful in their lives.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, self esteem, SUD, and struggles related to life transitions. I help clients find the solid ground they need to support forward movement and a more positive trajectory. I begin by working with clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves to arm them with the knowledge necessary to address their problems and make changes necessary to develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve the quality of their lives. I am non-judgmental and work to create a space in which clients can freely explore, uncover, and accept themselves more fully to live fuller, more meaningful lives.
