Therapists in Woodinville, WA

Many people say life doesn't go according to plan. We all know that to be true. Life goes up and down with many bits and pieces that make our story. As we are going through our life we may not understand or want parts of our story that entail grief and pain. YOUR story is what makes you, what has happened in your life, and what hasn't happened in your life. Many of us tend to have expectations of who we are supposed to be and how to navigate life, that we may forget to live life. Life isn't about pushing through, dread and pain. It's about the hope that pain and loss can be grieved and change can happen in your heart.

Congratulations! You have realized that you can't do it all yourself. Spring is a great time to work on self. I want to "walk" with you as you navigate the challenges of family, school, work, relationships, stress or transitions that you are facing. I have 20 years of experience supporting individuals, youth and families with anxiety, depression, transitions, grief, trauma and day-to-day stressors. I am a client centered therapist who is passionate about uncovering your strengths to help you achieve your goals.

We don’t always have control over the things that happen to us in life, but we do have control over how we choose to respond to them. When we know ourselves, and family patterns, & have the power to own our own history we are better equipped to meet these challenges & establish healthy patterns. I believe in a person-centered, integrative, strengths-based, bio-psychosocial approach. Regardless of your story, it is your own & as such you are the expert. My role is to help assist you along your journey by helping to facilitate a deeper understanding of who you are while reminding you of the importance of self-compassion & self-care.

Everyone has the capacity to change no matter what their present difficulty, and adversity can offer a new chance for growth. I am an experienced, non-judgmental clinical therapist devoted to helping my clients improve their quality of life.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

Our 2-3 week Catalyst program is one of the most unique counseling programs available in our area.

Cultivating meaning in our life and connections with our loved ones serves as the cornerstones in discovering growth, purpose and happiness within our lives.

I am dedicated to offering therapy that is inclusive and empathetic, as well as offering care to clients of systemically oppressed communities. I want to offer a safer environment for all.

Each family is unique, but some have exceptional needs. As a mom of kids with special issues, and having worked in special education for decades, I understand the needs of exceptional families. I love working with children on grief, anxiety, self-esteem, social skills, etc; parents struggling with their child's diagnosis will appreciate my understanding and ability to provide concrete steps to improve coping. Recently, I have obtained my certificate in Independent Educational Consulting and have immersed myself in the world of college admissions, & provide college counseling for teens, including those with disabilities.

Currently accepting new clients and offering both in-person and virtual sessions! I specialize in working with mothers who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and/or who are just feeling overwhelmed. Being a parent is a joy like no other, but it is also immensely demanding. Experiencing your own difficulties while also trying to be there for your child(ren)’s needs can be extremely exhausting. It is so easy to lose yourself in it all. I am here to help you navigate your role as a parent as well as to help you find the space to foster your own self-compassion and self-care.

Therapy is a positive way to look at life's problems and help you cope effectively. The type of therapy I practice is a blend of Psychodynamic Theory and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This combination gives us access to previous relationships and early life circumstances, while focusing on the here and now issues that are currently of concern to you.

Sometimes we encounter hardships that seem too overwhelming or painful to manage. These struggles may occur in marriage, family relationships, parenting, at work, or coping with every-day life. They can be destabilizing, leaving us feeling hopeless and helpless. I believe these uncomfortable emotions can often be a window of opportunity to look deeper into what has happened, our role in it, and our reaction to it. Within these moments, we can unravel our own inner wisdom to help us heal and grow.

I believe everyone has innate wisdom within themselves to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of them. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and families that have experienced trauma and consequently suffering from anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, sleep issues, developmental obstacles. Expressive therapies offers a unique way to language those issues using art, painting, clay work, journal writing, sand tray play and canine therapy, and they begin to externalize worries and concerns, crisis and trauma through symbols and mastery is gained. When families in pain begin to play together, perceptions of each other are changed, communication is accomplished and individuals experience their true potential.

Wellness is a journey, and reaching out for help is the first step to healing. At Inner Wellness Counseling, we have a passion for helping people get back to things that matter most to them.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate dedicated to providing counseling services for children, teens, adults, and families. With a firm belief in the power of human connection, I strive to foster a collaborative, safe, and judgment-free therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their unique journey towards healing and change. Grounded in a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, I recognize the profound impact of relationships and experiences on shaping individuals from a young age.

I love to laugh and be playful! My superpower is connecting with children. When I spend time with children in the playroom, I am always inspired by their inner resilience and ability to process and organize their world via the play and art materials around them. As a counselor, I play a role as a witness and a companion in this process. What a gift to be able to accompany a child on this journey, which leads to a greater understanding of themselves and others and a world that is a little less scary and confusing!
