Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in Seattle, WA

Engaging in therapy is an act of bravery and self-love. I have immediate in person, telehealth, & weekend availability. I offer a safe and sex positive place where you will feel seen and heard. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental and gently direct. I work with clients who may be healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, exploring their identity, or grappling with anxiety. I tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients. If you suffer from awful panic attacks, I'll give you strategies to tolerate and manage them so you can stop canceling plans at the last minute and gain control over your anxiety

**Not currently accepting new clients. Please contact me if you'd like to be added to my waitlist.* Some of my clients find me after a lifetime of perfectionism and self-judgement, working (too) hard to make everything seem okay from the outside and paying (too) high a price for doing it. Some find me because they have experienced, or witnessed, something horrific or traumatic. Some find me because intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are starting to take over their lives. Some find me because the stress of their job is becoming too much. And some find me because they feel shame and anguish around sex or their bodies.

Everyone experiences challenges to varying degrees in their lives, and it takes strength and sometimes trying different strategies to manage them effectively. Therapy can offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to work through the difficulties of life. As a Clinical Psychologist I work to help identify the elements contributing to your suffering and then provide tools and strategies to help overcome that suffering. I aim to help you to move forward in your life in the direction of your choosing. I provide services via Telehealth (Zoom) during this time in Washington, Tennessee, Florida, and all 39 PsyPact participating states.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

Guided by my client’s needs and issues, I use a variety of theoretical orientations to work WITH each individual. My primary approach to therapy is Person-Centered, meaning emphasis is placed on creating a safe environment where clients are supported as active participants in exploring their experience and developing personalized goals. After the initial evaluation and developing a collaborative relationship, patients are supported in developing skills that allow them to move forward in confidence, not that all problems are solved but, in understanding they have what they need to manage their unique struggle when it shows up.

I provide individual therapy to older adolescents and adults of all ages. I am drawn to working with individuals who want to resolve issues stemming from childhood and or adult trauma adversities. The areas I most work with are trauma and somatic related disorders, depression, mood and schizoaffective disorders, ADHD and learning difficulties, interpersonal relationship skills, narcissistic abuse, phase of life issues, and spiritual concerns/issues. Furthermore, I am passionate to assist individuals who are suffering with health issues, traumatic brain injury, and strokes to overcome mental and physical barriers.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

I have experience in helping clients with Trauma (acute/Chronic/complex), stress and anxiety, Narcissistic Abuse, Premarital/marital/relationship issues, chronic pain, depression, and most mental health conditions. I work with my clients and believe in authenticity and transparency to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Learning coping strategies and skills to manage life stressors is great, but my goal ultimately is that you actually heal and grow in the abundant life.

Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Are you exhausted from trying to hold things together? Do you often feel like you are on the outside looking in? I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism. I also specialize in supporting women with ADHD to overcome barriers and connect with strengths.

I strive to create a therapy environment that is authentic, warm, and free of judgment so that you can get right to the important work of self-discovery and self-improvement. I provide both individual and couple therapy for adults, operating a fully Telehealth practice (all sessions are done via secure video calls).

My treatment approach is rooted in my relationship with each individual, and blends client experience, clinical expertise, and evidence-based practices to move toward identified goals. It is collaborative, client-centered, and practical. My aim is to provide a context for healing and growth, so that clients can move toward what is most important and meaningful to them. I bring my personal values of compassion, curiosity, & present-centeredness to sessions. I am gentle & supportive, yet direct & goal-oriented. I am passionate about helping people suffer less and fully live their best lives.

Anyone can benefit from therapy, whether you are struggling with a specific issue or have a desire to learn more about yourself for personal growth. Sometimes we need a supportive and objective person to guide us so we can uncover and break down any barriers that interfere with our happiness. My goal is to provide the space for you to do just that - to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns in a safe, judgment-free environment. I am especially interested in working with those dealing with adoption related and gender identity related issues.

I am excited to work with you to find more effective ways of coping with personal struggles and give you the tools to thrive. You can expect me to be actively engaged and taking a collaborative approach when working together. I typically see clients who are motivated and eager to make changes in their lives.

Changes and transitions in our lives can provide opportunities for growth and insight. My approach is tailored to each client's need- whether you have a specific goal or are simply in need of a supportive space. Everyone has inherent strength that can be drawn upon. Our work together will center around diminishing the struggles that you feel and increasing your enjoyment of life.
