Gottman Method Therapists in King County, WA

Life is a journey. Sometimes we need a sounding board to sort out our thoughts and feelings and gain a new perspective on life. My goal is to help you be the happiest person you can be. I specialize in working with clients with complex trauma, which is trauma related to childhood experiences. I have expertise in working with adult children of narcissistic parents. I also have expertise in working with adult clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, family of origin issues, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and career issues.

I work with couples, family members, and individuals experiencing conflict, disconnection or distress in their intimate relationships. Couples who come to see me say things like: "We've had a breakdown in communication;" "We just can't seem to get along;" "I'm feeling unappreciated by my spouse/partner," "We've tried but we can't seem to work through this issue on our own;" "We want to rebuild trust after a betrayal;" "We're struggling to feel close after the transition to parenthood;" and "We love each other very much but we can't stop fighting."

We experience many changes and challenges, such as relocation, growing within relationships, parenthood, or changes in education, career or employment status. Loss comes in many forms, and grief looks different for each individual. Therapy is a way to navigate these challenges, to grow self-awareness and coping skills, and to find meaning in the unexpected, while exploring the external and internal factors that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

When you get stuck, it's wise to enlist the support of professionals. An experienced therapist can help you create secure and meaningful relationships, overcome emotional pain, find clarity and meaning, and handle stressful situations effectively.

Couples work involves breaking through old, stuck patterns that create conflict and disconnection to create strong and satisfying partnerships.

Are you feeling low, empty, or alone and are struggling to recover from this feeling?
