Therapists in Seattle, WA

I believe therapy is a powerful tool for our well being. I want to provide you a safe nonjudgmental place to learn, grow, and heal. I will work with you to find a treatment that best suits your needs and concerns. I'd love to help you on your journey toward self-discovery and being your best self. Whether your concern is a numbness you can't shake, a relationship that is challenging you, or a life transition; I can help you find your strengths to overcome this and experience the life you want to live.

I would be honored to create space for you as we find a way to recovery and healing. I love to work with each unique human that sits in front of me, no matter where you come from or where you want to go. I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent individuals, and religious trauma survivors.

I am known for my unapologetically fierce and compassionate anti-stigma approach and take pride in my east coast empathy, humor, and drive. I have worked in Washington on the front lines in mental health throughout the pandemic. I’m thrilled to incorporate my west coast love of the great outdoors, inclusivity, mindfulness, and culture into my practice for a well-rounded and empowering client experience. I deeply believe in the power of therapy, vulnerability, and validation. I provide safe space where you may speak your truth without fear, expect to be truly heard and seen, and know that you are valued.

Welcome to counseling; to be helpful lets regain access to inner wisdom for self advocacy through review of your strength base building practices by use of expressive arts therapy (life has been your stage), explore dreams (Adlerian therapies), explore play& traumas to connect with your inner child/teen or find your inner parent, track sensations with the mind, body and spirit for grounding purposes in our sessions. Welcome and thank you for adding me to your search!

I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences, reacquainting yourself from Covid isolation, or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your emotional needs aside in this process, or you just haven’t had the time, desire, understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I’d like to offer a safe space to truly slow down. A space to make for yourself where you can allow yourself to be seen and heard even if just for an hour a week.

Everyone experiences anxiety, depression, and loss at sometime in their life. Often events and people happen in our lives that cause distress. No one deserves to be in pain and no one should have to endure when there is the possibility to reduce the pain. My goal is to help my clients find relief through self exploration and a desire to want to feel better. My job is to walk with my clients in their path to mindfulness. My goal is to provide a safe space for emotions to be expressed and validated without judgment. Together we will identify patterns and triggers, and create skills to reduce future emotional distress.

My telehealth practice includes collaborative therapy based on a client’s strengths through talk therapy, creative expression, and mindfulness. I welcome clients over 18 addressing anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, LGBTQ+ concerns, stress, and grief, among others, to meet you where you are in life and to find the next step in your journey.

I am a passionate clinician who sees each client as a person with individual needs, wants, and goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I have experience working with mood, adjustment and anxiety disorders, as well as co-occurring disorder and individuals struggling with interpersonal issues. In the counseling process, I strive to help each client find their own voice to communicate their thoughts and feelings about what they are experiencing on a day to day basis. The aim is that the counseling experience becomes one of comfort in expressing and reconstructing ones personal narrative.

Building rapport is key. In our first session, we will discuss your history, concerns, expectations, and cultural considerations to outline a customized treatment plan. I strive to make therapy a judgment-free, collaborative, and empowering process.

Hi there! I am a relational and holistic therapist working via telehealth. My clients are generally tired of feeling disconnected from themselves and others. They want to be able to trust themselves and heal from the past. They want hope and empowerment to be free from the trauma and issues that continue to effect their daily life. They want to understand their emotions, rather than their emotions controlling them. I want to help my clients to tap into their inner strength and wisdom and I believe I provide practical tools to achieving these goals.

Welcome! If you're looking for support in finding your way through one of the many challenges that life throws at us, let's talk, and see if we may be a good fit to work together.

In life's journey, many of us encounter unexpected changes that disrupt our sense of joy and purpose, whether it's coping with loss, anxiety, severe depression, or navigating life transitions. As your therapist, I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. I strive to empower individuals to explore their unique identities and experiences fully. I firmly believe in embracing every facet of your being—the light and the shadow, your strengths, and vulnerabilities.

The decision to pursue therapy is a courageous one, and finding the right therapist can feel daunting but it is possible. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in WA with 15+ years serving clients who are ready to navigate significant life changes, heal from trauma, overcome anxiety, & manage ongoing stress while still pursuing bold dreams and goals. I'm passionate about helping clients live their most fulfilling & integrated life possible, even if it means taking big risks and making hard changes. You and your loved ones are capable of living a fulfilling & joyful life and I would be honored to support you in that journey.

Throughout life there are many things we are in control of, however there are also things we may not have control over. Experiencing this feeling of no control can manifest itself in anxiety, depression, loss of self, or even impact relationships with those around you. Whether it's due to your upbringing, the environment, or traumatic experiences, the constant fight to regain power and control of your life again can be exhausting, overwhelming and isolating. Therapy is that helping hand that can guide you on your healing journey and path to self-discovery. It can also be your safe place to rest and just be.

Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

As a licensed psychologist, I am dedicated to helping individuals achieve mental wellness and overcome life challenges. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, and non-judgmental, with a focus on evidence-based practices. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, trauma, depression, and coping with stress, among other difficulties. I am a highly skilled and compassionate Mexican American queer psychologist dedicated to providing inclusive mental health care and support.

My clients come to me wanting to improve their quality of life, find greater happiness and fulfillment, and develop the skills and resilience to overcome obstacles and thrive in the face of challenges. Clients can expect to leave sessions with deeper self-understanding and new skills to take care of their mental health. Through empathetic listening and collaborative exploration, clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They also learn practical coping strategies and tools to navigate challenges more effectively. Overall, the aim is to foster autonomy, personal growth, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

Abrupt life changes, relationship stress, and traumas can leave us feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. It’s a brave move to reach out for help and I am here to offer compassion, collaboration, and empowerment. I am LGBTQIA+ and ENM affirming and pull from feminist theory and its framing of oppression as a contributor to personal struggle. My expertise includes adjustment to life transitions, family trauma, complex PTSD, and addiction issues.

You don’t have to be alone. Today, your journey to healing begins. I aim to know my client. This allows me to undertand their issues, their needs and their goals. Growing up with disability provided an opportunity for me to rise above discrimination, bullying, racism, oppression, marginalization, anxiety, depression, and face life’s unending challenges. I am fluent and can provide therapy in three languages fluently, English, Ilokano, Tagalog. I am trained in Eastern and Western approaches. I use evidenced based treatment interventions including but not limited to EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Approach.
