Therapists in Lower Queen Anne, Seattle, WA

We carry on our day to day lives, hope for change, work hard and at times still feel like nothing is working; we feel like these challenges make it impossible to move past or live the life we intend to live. I provide counseling for individuals, and couples of all kinds dealing with challenges that leave them feeling stuck. It is my privilege to work alongside you to provide you the space to experience, examine and process what is going on in your life right now.

“Children don’t get traumatized because they get hurt. They get traumatized because they’re alone with the hurt.” -Dr. Gabor Mate. I am a therapist specializing in the challenges faced by children and parents. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages (and their parents) as their teacher, coach, and counselor. Many of my clients are teenagers. They struggle with academics, learning differences, or pressure to succeed and achieve. They are navigating relationships with their peers, teachers, parents, and other adults. They may feel anxious, depressed, stressed, or withdrawn. (YES, I have availability!)

As a Couple and Family Therapist, I am honored to collaborate with clients in deciphering what may be holding you back from the freedom to live a more whole, robust life. A concentration of mine is in working with those who have attentional difficulties or learning differences such as ADHD, whether in a couple, family, or individual setting.

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 am a therapist with ADHD, so I love working with clients who have ADHD. I think our similar brains strengthen our understanding of each other and therefore our therapeutic connection. I will never tell you to just “try harder” or “buy a planner” or other things that neurotypicals have said to you (although I do love some good office supplies). Everyone with ADHD is different and deserves personalized exploration of their needs and barriers to help manage symptoms and achieve functioning goals. I also love working with couples who have ADHD, including mixed neurotype couples who are working to better understand one another.

I love working with adults with varying backgrounds doing crisis work or deep transformative therapy. I operate from a social justice perspective and believe that our environments and our many identities deeply impact our well being.

Our clients are high achieving millennials, identity-developing gen-zers, people in transition, and people who think deeply about themselves and their growth.

Do I have bipolar? Am I on the right medication? Should I take a break from work? How do I manage difficult relationships?

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.
