Therapists in Seattle, WA

Welcome! You've already taken the first step of searching for a therapist for yourself or a loved one. I want to acknowledge how difficult that can be and am here to help support you through the rest of the journey. I see adolescents and adults for a variety of issues such as family conflict, depression, anxiety or peer relationships. I find it deeply rewarding to provide therapy to those who identify anywhere on the LGBT spectrum. Building a trusting relationship is my first priority. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space together where you can meet your goals.

My clients are primarily women. Whatever calls you to therapy can be the beginning of new possibilities. The pressures of external stressors, anxiety, depression and patterns of living can let us know that deeper changes are trying to happen in us. But how does an inner world reveal itself and offer its un-lived resources? A therapeutic relationship initiates a process of experiencing more about oneself. Many of my clients have been in therapy before and know that such a process can help release new energy and awareness. Listening to yourself sometimes begins with someone really listening with you.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and with diverse backgrounds to address issues of depression, anxiety/stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship struggles, and adjustment to life changes. I have particular interest in late teen/young adult development, trauma recovery and growth, and supporting those who work in other “helping” professions (healthcare, childcare, education, etc). I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to share in each person’s journey, providing encouragement, asking questions, and helping them identify and connect with what adds value/meaning to their lives.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults. My approach to therapy integrates evidence-based practices and patient preferences/needs. I believe in a collaborative and personalized approach to therapy to help clients reach their goals. I hope to provide a safe space that fosters positive change and alignment with the client’s individual values.

You’re an over-giver, over-achiever, and over-thinker. This pattern leaves you exhausted and lonely. You may doubt yourself or constantly worry about the future. You fear disappointing others, and you feel deeply disappointed in yourself. You desire the confidence to trust your intuition and decisions and to wake up each morning with a sense of purpose and value. You desire to make a significant impact on others and to have deep, enriching relationships.

I welcome people who are facing any number of challenges including life transitions such as divorce, job loss, illness, death of a loved one; all shifting the ground beneath us in dramatic ways. What worked no longer works. My trMy training as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher complements training and practice in psychotherapy addressing a dysregulated emotion system resulting in various symptoms such as anxiety, panic, depression, and identity disturbance and sometimes even a desire to die or hurt oneself. There can be a painful sense of isolation and feeling unmoored. There is a way out; first understanding, then tools to heal.

Just about everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. Sometimes these are temporary, such as during or after a life transition, and sometimes these are more chronic where we become stuck. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work or school concerns, or something else, I imagine you are seeking help because you are not feeling the way you wish to feel. I also imagine that you have hope that it can get better.

Are you creative? In transition? Depressed? Different? Parenting? Re-discovering YOU? Are you wanting to make changes in your life or to heal from old wounds? Do you want to develop self-compassion? Do you want to learn how to be present for your life, to learn mindfulness to help you through the tough times? If so, let’s see if we can create a compassionate, interactive and authentic therapeutic relationship to work collaboratively towards healing. In therapy, I can help you identify your goals, look at what is and isn't working for you, explore your stories, emotions, and experiences (past and present), develop new skills, and embrace your learning styles and talents. I also provide consultation and supervision to therapists.

I have experience providing individual and group psychotherapy in private practice and University settings with adults between the ages of 17-65 since 2004. I have expertise regarding relationship & family dynamics, life transitions & identity, mood & anxiety, and stress & trauma. My approach to counseling is dynamic, collaborative, & Humanistic. I enjoy supporting people to learn new ways to relate through self-awareness and experiential exercises. I work with individuals to reduce symptoms that impact life, work, and relationships and encourage growth by exploring untapped potential and enhancing overall functioning.

Sometimes we can sense that something isn't quite right in our lives and it can be somewhat nerve-racking to reach out to a therapist for guidance. With this in mind, I do my best to provide a warm and welcoming environment. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing the emotional sequelae of chronic stress and workplace burnout, including feeling overwhelmed, depleted and exhausted, pessimistic, detached, anxious, and depressed. Other areas of focus include adjustment difficulties, relationship and family-of-origin issues, grief and loss, chronic physical health conditions, and interpersonal trauma.

I firmly believe that each client should be the leader in their treatment, and my objective as a therapist is to equip you with the tools needed to harness your strengths. I aim to establish a therapeutic space for you that cultivates trust, comfort, and collaboration. I enjoy working on issues related to Anxiety/Depression/Stress/Transitions, and Teen Issues, Parenthood (including fostering and adoption of youth), Perinatal mental health, Racial/Ethnic identity development, and Trauma recovery- historical and familial.

I am known for my unapologetically fierce and compassionate anti-stigma approach and take pride in my east coast empathy, humor, and drive. I have worked in Washington on the front lines in mental health throughout the pandemic. I’m thrilled to incorporate my west coast love of the great outdoors, inclusivity, mindfulness, and culture into my practice for a well-rounded and empowering client experience. I deeply believe in the power of therapy, vulnerability, and validation. I provide safe space where you may speak your truth without fear, expect to be truly heard and seen, and know that you are valued.

I want to offer you more than scratching the surface, or putting a band-aid on your pain. Let's get to the root. This work is about you - how you relate to yourself and to me. It's about the pain that you've carried (consciously or unconsciously), the grief that has shaped you and the coping mechanisms and defenses that you have adopted in order to live your life. I will bring my curiosity and my awareness to your thoughts, your feelings, your behavior. Together we will get to know the true you.

Whether you feel deeply stuck in a dark place, or just need a boost to get back to enjoying life again, I will provide focused, caring attention, utilize my expertise to respectfully offer suggestions, and make a step-by-step plan. I specialize in treating trauma (with a range of proven approaches); most commonly with sexual assault survivors, childhood abuse, and vicarious trauma. I also work with most anxiety and mood disorders, stress management, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is client centered utilizing evidence based therapies and customizing treatment to the client. I specialize in couples and individual treatment.

I am an independently licensed clinician aiming to provide many clients with care. I am passionate about providing excellent care to vulnerable communities and individuals who traditionally have not have access. I'm here to walk with you on your path to well-being. As a mental health professional, my practice centers around evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I specialize in providing support for anxiety, depression, and disordered eating, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs.

Sometimes life can feel a bit overwhelming and cause you to feel alone. I believe that asking for help takes courage and is a powerful move in making a difference in your life. You do not have to go through the struggles of life alone. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where you are the master of your life, and I am joining along for the ride. I hope we can work together to find the answers you may be looking for within you. I am here to help with any life challenges you may be going through.

Healing happens when we are able to connect and feel truly seen by another human being. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a mechanism for healing. It is my aim to co-create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can reflect, grow, gain insight, challenge ideas, and come to know who you are in a deep and meaningful way. I work with individuals navigating relationships, life transitions, anxiety, self-doubt, identity development and purpose. I work with anyone looking for support while struggling with being human in this sometimes scary, exhausting and overwhelming world.
