Codependency Therapists in Maple Leaf, Seattle, WA

I believe in healing the whole person. There are many factors that shape who we are and affect our understanding of ourselves and our environment. I believe in working with my client to work through these factors to reach true acceptance of one self. My specialties include Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues and Codependency. We are all unique, in our personalities and in the way we process our emotions and environment. Therefore, I focus on building unique relationships with my clients to work towards self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth.

I have a conversational approach and welcome humor alongside the deep emotional work of therapy. I come alongside adults and relationships to support you in your healing and connection mainly through the lens of Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems, but most importantly, I pull from many wise teachers to find what works for you.

Hope often sounds like a wishful word in our culture - but I want you to leave therapy with more hope - the gritty, scrappy, resilient kind. This authentic hope grows as you embrace your life story with all its darkness and light. You don't need to talk about everything at once, but just give yourself a place and time to connect with your whole self and pay attention to your life as it is now. As you connect deeply with yourself you are able to carve out space to reimagine how your life and relationships could be.

We all know that life is full of messiness, but what if we didn’t have to hold it together. What if we didn’t show a version of ourselves or wear a facade. And what if we could be really honest about our experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Sometimes it’s hard to find places to allow our chaos, confusion and pain to come out of hiding and be seen. My hope is that you find comfort and safety to allow the mess to show up. I believe therapy offers us the invitation to do something different — to choose a new way. It can be an uncomfortable and powerful offer to be seen, known and heard for who you really are.

Are you navigating life and repeating the same patterns or struggling personally and/or in your relationships? Oftentimes there is big or little trauma impacting your feelings of "stuckness" today. I work with individuals and couples from a trauma-informed approach looking at what is coming up for you today in your struggles and what is influencing how these issues are presenting. Therapy can help work through and gain more understanding and insight to grow and change in the ways you would like to.

Pain is a sign that something needs our attention. When we are not aware of helpful ways to manage it, we look to what is available to us to cope as a survival tactic. We might numb our symptoms through food, social media, strained relationships, substances, negative self talk, excessive busyness--leaving us feeling disconnected or in constant conflict with others & ourselves. I believe in truth, empathy, & belonging. I vow to create a space where you will not be judged but held in all that you are. I view therapy as collaborative. You are the expert of your story & I am responsible to help you get grounded to anchor it.

It takes courage to seek therapy, and I commend you for taking this step. Are you looking for a safe space to process challenging feelings, thoughts, events and/or relationships? Do you want to learn tools to help you be more actively engaged and present in your life? Is fear or sadness preventing you from living in alignment with your values or accomplishing your goals? I believe that we all have an innate ability and desire to live our lives with intent, and sometimes we need support and guidance to connect to those values as we navigate our ever changing circumstances.

You feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Out of desperation, you cry out to the world - but its unresponsive face is hollow and emotionless. You ache to feel grounded and alive again, but life has robbed you of your ability to make any meaningful contact with it. In your web of relationships, you feel utterly alone. You know that relationships are supposed to be vital for your wellbeing, yet they have been the centerpiece in your suffering. In this absurd life, it is so easy to fall into the cracks of isolation, meaninglessness and all the things that bind us.

I work with adult individuals (18+) who are looking to find greater balance in their lives. I have found that therapy is most effective when practiced consistently, and as such, I choose not to see clients less frequently than once a week.

I believe that therapy is meant to empower clients to feel that they are capable of change and living a fuller, more integrated life. I work with individuals and couples dealing with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and family conflict. I utilize a systemic and bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach in therapy. This simply means integrating the many parts of a person into therapy. I also aim to explore the impact of significant relationships and the influence of larger social systems on client's sense of wholeness and ability to achieve desired growth.
