Therapists in 98040

I am available to help you heal, navigate relationships and transitions, and discover why you may face the same challenges again and again. If you feel trapped, uneasy or stalled in making decisions, I can help. The stresses of life squeeze our ability to think clearly and feel at the same time. As a result, our emotions rule us, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence based practices, such as ACT and DBT to help clients regulate their emotions and reach their goals.

I strive to provide a safe place for all women to heal in the context of a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I work with a wide variety of individuals, including those struggling with the effects of motor vehicle accident, sexual assault, social rejection, attachment injuries, family of origin injuries, medical trauma, disturbing memories, phobias and more. I treat anxiety and depression. I regularly work with other helping professionals, such as counselors, nurses, and teachers, navigating their own trauma histories. I focus on stability and safety before beginning trauma work with all new clients.

As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation.  Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship.  The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

With a background in education, life certificate in school psychology and neuropsychology and training at the University of Washington Medical Center and Children's Hospital Los Angeles, I work with all ages 6-96. My unique interests include Non Verbal Learning Differences and family interventions that assist for a lifetime. 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.

Welcome, I'm truly grateful you're here. Choosing therapy, whether alone or with a partner, shows courage and care. In a world that often expects us to hide our imperfections behind a facade of success and happiness, therapy offers a refreshing alternative. It's about giving ourselves permission to occupy the space that is rightfully ours, acknowledging and moving through the twists and turns of our journeys with compassion and curiosity. It's about exploring the questions that keep you up at night: What do I want? What am I doing with my life? Why is parenting so difficult? How can we make this relationship work?

Accepting New Clients in MAY 2024. Are you looking for a compassionate and socially conscious therapist who provides trauma-informed care? Then we might be a good fit to work together! Sometimes we need guidance to resolve our conflicts and difficulties. Talking through our thoughts and putting words to our deeply held emotions can give us a sense of relief, clarity, and direction. This is what I offer in therapy.

I am passionate about working with women who are looking for balance in their social, emotional, physical, spiritual and vocational needs. Women have many roles and the complexities of those demands are difficult to manage. My goal is to provide an individualized approach to your needs. I can employ a faith based approach if you prefer. If you are a parent, our work together may include parent education and coaching. Parents consult with me when they are facing challenges with their children. I provide individualized information, practical skills, support and inspiration to enrich the parent-child relationship and help families flourish.
