Therapists in Washington

I believe that healing occurs when people are given the space to explore their unique emotional experience to better understand how it colors their worldview, sense of self, and relationships with others. Within a safe therapeutic relationship, I work with my clients to make meaning out of both mundane and extraordinary moments, unlocking their ability to live a more fully present, authentic life.

Are you struggling with loss of identity and heightened anxiety? Do you experience anger and feelings of powerlessness? This can be a common experience for those with marginalized identities. I'm an ideal fit for those struggling with issues related to sexual health, neurodivergence, and/or systemic trauma…and those from marginalized backgrounds. In addition, I am a trained death doula who enjoys working with chronic illness and grief. Together we will reduce shame and guilt and increase self-esteem. You deserve to feel seen and heard - you deserve to take up space and to feel empowered.

I feel honored to collaborate with clients who are facing challenges, while understanding that we all need support in our lives. It takes a great deal of courage to reach out when you are struggling with life's challenges and emotions that are difficult to feel and work through. I work with adolescents and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, gender health, grief and loss, coping with chronic illness, relationship problems, and parenting, to name a few.

I offer individual, couple, and family therapy. I am a systemic therapist. I believe your community, your family of origin, and the greater world in which you live all impact your situation. My focus is on promoting your strengths to help you achieve your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions, but the common thread that links them is Mindfulness. In my work with couples, I apply Gottman theories to your preferred family structure. I enjoy exploring gender identity and also enjoy working with people to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others who are important in their lives.

With a decade of invaluable experience in collaborating with a diverse range of populations, my goal is to guarantee that individuals, families and couples from all walks of life have convenient access to exceptional mental health care services. Passionate about fostering mental well-being, I strive to provide top-tier support and guidance to those in need. I believe that creating a safe and open environment for a client to express their individual viewpoints and experiences is important in fostering therapeutic growth. The foundation of successful therapeutic relationships lies in embracing diverse perspectives.

I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, chronic illness, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, difficult life transitions, grief, burnout, and overwhelm. I believe discovering our authentic self, landing safely back in our body, finding the deeper meanings underneath our current symptoms, releasing patterns that no longer serve us, and identifying our fears, hopes and desires can help us find a renewed sense of peace and purpose in our life.

I have 30 years experience offering compassionate and goal-oriented therapy for adults with trauma/abuse histories and/or depression that are causing current mood problems, frequent upsetting memories, relationship problems, poor choices, self esteem issues, shame, numbness, sleep problems and anxiety. I specialize in EMDR and Lifespan Integration, two rapid trauma resolution techniques. Both can often quickly and effectively resolve past issues that are causing current life problems without re-traumatizing. I also use Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, which helps in gaining emotion regulation skills that will last a lifetime.

Do you struggle with your mood, a life transition, addressing addiction, managing a chronic illness, or recovering from trauma? Or do you feel overwhelmed, unable to help a loved one in the midst of significant problems? The good news is you are not alone. Deciding to reach out and get help is an important first step to changing patterns, healing wounds, and restoring relationships.

It's been my honor to work for the last decade with people struggling with eating disorders, and I'm passionate about exploring the expansive possibilities of healing. Recovery is "non-linear," so each person's process has its own complexities, timing, and map. But many courageous people have gone before in this process, so that we have an ever-deepening understanding of how to achieve lasting freedom from EDs. I offer ED care to adolescents age 13+ using the FBT model and to adults of all ages using an integrative approach. I also specialize in working with chronic illness, disability, and Jewish teens and adults.

Have you been feeling like it's time to make a positive change in your life? Maybe you want to experience more joy and happiness. Perhaps work on a past wound, improve a relationship, stop the cycle of doing the same thing over again. Counseling is a place where we can work on these issues together. This is a space where you become the author of your life. As an EMDR trained therapist, I can help you re-write your past experiences into stories of strength and resilience and work towards the best version of yourself.

After 5pm appointments are FULL; daytime appointments available. Hello! I work with adolescents and adults both in-person (my office is located in Everett), as well as throughout WA state through telehealth. I specialize in working with anxiety, eating disorders, childhood trauma, chronic illness, depression, professional burnout, suicidal thoughts, self harm behaviors, and those who may be exploring their queer and/or gender identity and expression. Some clients also come to me for general emotional support or want an outside perspective on a situation that is impacting their life.

There are moments in our lives where we can benefit from additional support. Whether you desire better personal or intimate relationships, you are going through a life transition, or you are adjusting to recent change in your health, you have taken the first and most difficult step by seeking support. I work from a strengths-based and collaborative perspective that focuses on helping people identify and develop the skills and tools they already have within. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach that draws from different modalities. I provide a safe, grounded, and compassionate space for processing, change, and healing.

Current openings! Many people think their problems aren't bad enough to seek help and continue suffering in the status quo - but if you're reading this, you must be getting exhausted! You might be wondering why you have such big reactions to minor inconveniences, or why things seem to come easy for everyone else. You've probably tried all the "self care" and are frustrated that you're still struggling. I have a particular interest in working with late or self diagnosed neurodivergent women and chronic illness sufferers. If your anxiety or pain is increasing, or you just have a sense that things are "off," maybe I can help!

The goals of therapy are directed toward providing a positive and collaborative forum to ease presenting difficulties; and draw on the individual's strengths and resilience to enable greater contentment and satisfaction in life. The foundation from which I view issues is from a systems approach. Thus, my focus is on the relational context that each individual resides within. Additionally, I borrow ideas from Attachment , Emotionally Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, and EMDR constructs when tailoring goals developed for each person's unique needs.

However you have come to find yourself pursuing therapy, welcome. Being human beings on this earth is a complicated thing, it is a chaotic time to be living life, and you are worthy of finding some space for care and support as you navigate through how to be a human.

You may be in a space and time in your life where you are ready to begin therapy for the first time or maybe you are moving toward it again. Whatever the case may be, you are brave to be caring for yourself by searching for support in this capacity. Collaboratively in therapy we will begin to create a window into seeing the narrative of your story. Navigating your own personal story is a way to begin to transition toward the life you desire and long for.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State. I have expertise in working with adolescents and adults experiencing change, behavioral health concerns, grief, chronic illness, pain, and disabilities.

Maybe you need support in navigating pregnancy or the newborn stage, or maybe you’re dealing with the pain of infertility, pregnancy loss, or childbirth trauma. Certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I guide couples and individuals through the transformative journey of welcoming new life. Specifically, I love supporting queer couples navigating their fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey. Beyond the perinatal period, I help clients enhance communication and navigate neurodivergency. I use modalities such as Gottman Theory, Attachment Theory, and solution-oriented therapy to help clients achieve their goals.
