LifeWise Therapists in Redmond, WA

Living a human life is inherently difficult, especially when trying to learn to navigate it on your own. It is so important that individuals in our community feel connected to others that genuinely care about their wellbeing. That is where I come in. I work hard to make sure that each client of mine feels supported, heard, and accepted in the counseling room. When we are critical of ourselves, our experiences, and the path that we choose to heal, then we are doubling down on our pain and further creating an environment that feels suffocating. This is why compassion, empathy, and kindness are the cornerstones to my style of therapy.

All of us have stressors in our life - we juggle some combination of jobs, academics, relationships, parenting, goals. It can get a little overwhelming to balance everything. Not to mention the impact of the current economic, social, political and environmental landscape on our lived experiences. This is further complicated by a layer of immigration for some folks. Sometimes, we need a little extra support. That's where I come in. I am passionate about supporting people through family of origin (FOO) and cultural identity-related issues, professional/academic burnout, and women's issues.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to work together to achieve the change that they are looking for in their lives. I especially enjoy working with individuals who have survived complex or repeat traumas and are interested in understanding and modifying (as necessary) the ways that trauma has shaped their identities, relationships, and how they feel day-to-day. This may present as PTSD, depression, anxiety, complex relationships, personality disorders, or all of the above. I do not expect my clients to come to me with answers but rather with curiosity and openness.

My ideal client population are adolescents and young adults who are doing the difficult work of establishing who they are as an individual within and outside of their family of origin. I love working with younger clients who are learning how to become their truest selves while simultaneously working through past traumas, self-esteem troubles, difficult peer relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, etc.

My heart and passion are in working with those who have had difficult life experiences. Whether that be trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, ASD, or a plethora of other experiences or diagnoses. I strive to work hand in hand with my clients and support them in living happy and healthy lives.

No matter the stage of life, there are always challenges to tackle. Some challenges are visible, such as the loss of a loved one, parenting, or relocating to a new city. Other challenges are not so visible –like worrying too much, struggling to feel connected to others, or just lacking the motivation to get through the day. Figuring out who we are or what makes life meaningful requires exploration, and this can be difficult to navigate alone. Moreover, exploration requires a safe and accepting environment, free from bias and judgment.

Hi! I'm glad you're here :) It's not easy to sift through profiles, trying to find a therapist who will be the right fit for you, but it will be worth it. If you think we'd be a good match, I'd love to help! Are you having a hard time getting societal beauty standards off of your "to-do" list? In a culture that seems hell bent on showing us what we should change about ourselves, it's hard to let it go. The inner critic gets loud, and we become so hard on ourselves for all sorts of everything. If you're looking for some self-love, a peaceful relationship with food and your body, or anxiety management, you've come to the right place.
