Therapists in Seattle, WA

I specialize in couples therapy, where I help partners work toward relational repair after infidelity, betrayal, or ongoing conflict. I also work with individuals who want to work through attachment and relationship issues, identity development, spirituality, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy is work that asks a great deal from us, but it also holds potential for meaningful change: to awaken to your own life, to make strides toward repairing broken bonds, and to imagine new possibilities and new ways of being, for yourself and for your relationships.

I enjoy helping women in the tech process thoughts and feelings using feminist theory. I help people with difficult family dynamics understand how those dynamics may impact their parenting. I help women affected by domestic violence, people considering abortions, people with complex trauma and people needing help navigating complex family relationships. Counseling can be helpful as families may find themselves in need of support, resources and a safe place to share thoughts and feelings related to parenthood. Having previously worked as a child and family counselor I am able to offer unique insights into parenting.

Therapy can be a space to pause, explore, bring curiosity and play. I do not view therapy as a place to fix or even “cure”. Rather my approach is grounded in the core belief that it is in and through safe, respectful connection that we find meaning, emotional health, and wellness. When pain and stuck places are given compassionate and non-judgmental attention, one can often access greater self-compassion, connection and possibility. One can explore opening, loosening, and shifting patterns and ways of being, with the goal of creating new ways to learn and listen to all of our parts.

Society, family, culture, and other systems often send us mixed messages about how we should move in the world, creating dissonance and internal conflict. At times, we may lose sight of what we want for ourselves in the midst of competing voices and priorities that pull for our attention. I strive to create a safe space and work collaboratively with clients to step into the driver’s seat in discovering and reaching their own goals. Through shared exploration, we can clarify your understanding of yourself, your identity, and your story, and foster greater self-compassion and confidence to carry you through life's challenges.

My clients usually find me because they are seeking a change and a new approach in therapy to process their trauma. You may feel stuck in some aspect of your life such as anxiety, depressive symptoms, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, stress, trauma, and other concerns. I work with adult individuals who want to examine their negative beliefs about themselves. I hope we can meet those together with curiosity, kindness, warmth, mindfulness, and compassion. Our fit as a client and therapist is especially important to me.

As a queer, neurodivergent counselor, I believe that an individual's identity is integral to the therapy process. I understand that each person has a unique perspective, shaped by their experiences and intersecting identities. My goal is to empower emerging adults by collaborating to share knowledge, reframe negative internalizations, and foster self-congruence. My theoretical orientation is primarily trauma-informed and person-centered, influenced by feminist and civil rights leaders. My approach is integrative, holistic, and process-focused, in service of identifying pragmatic, achievable solutions.

Navigating challenges alone is monumental, and my goal as your therapist is to support, follow your lead, and offer fresh perspectives that encourage you to find balance and grounding. Together, I hope we explore the pieces that make you feel most yourself, find the nuance in compassion, truthfulness, and resilience, and encourage you to take those nuances into your own relationships beyond our work together. I welcome clients of any age, addressing the variety of life’s transitions. My focus includes depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. I work from a culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, intersectional feminist lens.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for empowering women to live joyfully inside their bodies through liberation-work and self-compassion. I approach therapy from a systemic, person-centered, feminist, sex-positive, and HAES lens that's rooted in social justice. I understand the ways that oppression and trauma influence how we connect with our bodies and I view coping mechanisms as survival strategies that develop in response to our experiences. I believe there is wisdom in our coping and I enjoy helping clients compassionately attune to their body’s needs and connect to their intuition.

I also welcome those who are new to therapy.

Do you have difficulty trusting your experiences and navigating how the world perceives and treats you? Are you struggling to feel comfortable in your body? Many of us learn to think and behave in unsustainable ways in order to stay safe in an unaccepting and marginalizing world. If you are struggling to break free from patterns that helped you survive in the past but are keeping you from thriving in the now, you're in the right place. I help LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and women build self-compassion and body-awareness to better understand how trauma is holding them back.

In a success driven society the demands on one's life can feel endless. Most people are experiencing the necessity to juggle several competing roles and responsibilities simultaneously. The human capacity to grow, expand, adapt and thrive is amazing and inspiring. However, there is no human on this earth who is perfect and not effected by prolonged states of stress & pressure. This pressure leads to depression, anxiety, disconnection, isolation and many other ailments. Compassion focused therapy is a central component to my therapeutic approach. Treatment incorporates empowering your voice to optimize your path towards healing. Change is within reach.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing distress & are seeking a place to feel seen & supported.

In addition I love working with those who are wanting to examine power & privilege inside of a therapeutic relationship where there is space for healing.

I am welcoming of all clients from all different backgrounds and experience with therapy. I am open to all issues, needs, and goals. I am confident together we can work towards developing coping skills, enhancing healthy patterns, and increasing overall well-being.

Although I have a wide array of therapy related interests, I specialize in gender variance and sexual orientation. In addition, my therapeutic focus encompasses topics that include polyamory, sexual trauma and abuse, feminist issues, anxiety and depression.

Life can be isolating at times. This is especially true when you add in ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, chronic illness, and Queerness, cultural, and relationship issues. We hold so many identities and struggles that influence who we are and how we move through our place in the world. It is essential to find yourself among those identities and move into the whole version of yourself that finds comfort in the here and now. This includes finding your community and support through all that life throws at us. As a therapist, I move through sessions with a person-centered, feminist, and multicultural lens.

[My schedule is full. Please contact my group practice's Get In Touch form to see if other clinicians may have openings] You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied about some parts of your life.

Or, you might need a place to talk about difficult experiences so you can make sense of them. As someone who truly believes in the healing power of therapy, I am glad you are considering it as a way of reaching your potential, regardless of whom you choose as your therapist.
