Therapists in Issaquah, WA

You Matter. You are not broken. You may be struggling with past or present trauma, abuse, religious trauma, failures, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, life transitions, or toxic family relationships – but this does not equate to brokenness. My approach to therapy is specific to who you are and what you need at this point in time. I love the work that I do and I am looking forward to helping you find your way to peace and comfort.

Everyone needs help sometimes. When it feels like circumstances and life-pressures are causing you to feel sad, hopeless, stuck, and/or afraid, counseling may help you regain emotional traction and move through the challenges of your life. I believe every person has great internal resources/strengths to uncover or discover solutions for life..I specialize in helping couples/families/individuals improve their relationships and also those who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, self-worth, divorce, blended-families, healing from infidelity, parenting, and many other individual and relationship issues. I work from a variety of theories, including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Gottman Relationship Therapy.

It takes courage, strength, and commitment to want to improve your life. Sometimes life presents us with roadblocks, we get stuck in difficult situations, and struggle to overcome hardships.

Welcome! Are you a young adult needing support? Or a parent needing additional parenting strategies, or guidance to better understand/support your child?

Creativity, science, and disciplined application are the tools in a cognitive behavioral, object relations approach that moves the client forward with responsibility, boundaries, and wise choices.

Help for adolescents and adults. Our attempts to connect with others or express our fears and worries are often met with criticism or a "let's fix it and move on" attitude. It is normal to feel shame and fear, frustration, anger, and at times stuck. In therapy I give you the space to freely speak, be heard, and sit with an idea, thought, or feeling at your own pace. I will give you practical assistance for the challenges you are facing.

I enjoy working with adolescents, teens and adults and couples struggling with depression, bipolar, anxiety, disordered eating, relationship issues, and adjustment to life transitions. I’ve worked in the middle and high-school settings, helping adolescents and teens address issues of low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, lack of academic motivation, bullying, peer pressure, anger management, and family problems. Having had personal experience with infertility, I have a passion for working with those struggling in this area, helping them with the feelings of frustration, stress, loss and relationship challenges.

As an empathetic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation.

I enjoy working with individuals age 15 and older as well as couples and families.
