Are you struggling to put down the burdens of your clients/patients, loved ones, the state of the world, career demands and just let yourself relax and recharge? Maybe you had too much responsibility in childhood and are having a hard time allowing yourself to prioritize doing enjoyable things. Or, you are in a transition and struggling to figure out what brings deeper meaning and joy to your life. I can help. I support adults who were parentified children, adults in transition (midlife, empty nesters, career change, retirement) busy parents, burned out therapists, nurses or other healthcare providers. Coaching and tools provided.

It is common to feel loneliness and heartbreak when experiencing relationship difficulties (sexual concerns, poor communication, conflict without repair, lack of intimacy, codependence, wanting different things, working through a betrayal such as infidelity). I work with individuals, couples, and intimate partnerships who are experiencing relationship and sexual difficulties or mental health concerns, supporting each partner’s growth in self- and other-intimacy by helping each of you identify and skillfully communicate what you think, feel, and prefer and listen with curiosity and compassion as your partner does the same.

It can be difficult to seek help and can feel even more difficult to choose a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and connect. You are here because a part of you is ready for change and growth. Therefore, I welcome you as you begin your journey to better yourself.

Do you have anxious thoughts that keep you on a loop that spirals and feels exhausting? Maybe you struggle with indecision and confidence in your life. Anxiety shows up in many ways and without realizing it we often find ourselves coping in ways that distance us from who we are. Maybe that looks like avoiding social situations, obsessive thinking and actions, disorder eating, or perfectionism. Or maybe you find yourself exhausted first thing in the morning and struggle to get out of bed. Depression can feel like an invisible rain cloud following only you around, leading to feeling alone, hopeless, and angry at life.

We are accepting new clients. My name is Hannah Khablein and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington.

We all long for intimate human relationship but for many of us, we can't seem to shake this dull aching loneliness that resides in the pit of our souls. However, the inherent human need for meaningful relationships has remained elusive. Often, it feels easier to isolate than to face the intolerable reality. We have become experts at stifling our needs and desires. But when we enter into the presence of another, when we begin to tell our stories of heartache and pain, healing begins. We need a witness to our grief, someone to join alongside us as we lament. Above all, we need a place to experience belonging.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or are you having difficulty in your relationship? I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from counseling at one point or another.

I am accepting new clients. My clients are children, adults, and families. Adult clients are usually motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. Children often present internalized or externalized behavior problems and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore psycho dynamic issues and collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.

You never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you are falling short. You've spent the last months or years trying to keep everything together, but it’s exhausting and you don’t think you can do it anymore. Most days you feel so anxious you can barely breathe or you can’t stop crying. Friends reach out but you would rather pull the covers over your head and numb out to social media, food, alcohol or other things you know are not healthy for you. You can’t motivate yourself to do the things you really want to do. “What’s wrong with me” is a thought that goes everywhere with you.
