Therapists in Mukilteo, WA

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has been called "The Doubting Disease," and is characterized by unwanted and intrusive doubts, fears, “irrational” worries, and at its worst, terror and psychological torment. People with OCD experience doubts and fears which usually focus on whatever they most care about or highly value, such as their most important relationships, their moral character, their health or the health and well-being of those they care about. Sufferers use mental or behavioral rituals that provide temporary relief from the obsession, which become compulsions that can be painful in and of themselves.

Mental health challenges can cause us to feel like we are waging a daily, silent war with ourselves. Physical tension and racing thoughts may seem to consume the entirety of your being and yet, deep down, a part of you has a sense that this is not really you. I know it is not you, too. I believe so deeply in your resilience, innate well-being, and ability to thrive beyond your current experience of anxiety and tension. I help individuals experiencing OCD, eating disorders, generalized anxiety, and patterns of addiction to live a life beyond symptom management.

I have openings right now! Clients who work well with me value open communication and are ready for feedback, are actively engaged in their healing process, and are curious about how their past experiences impact them.

Have you experienced childhood wounding that has led your to adopt patterns of behavior, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, overachieving to ensure love and approval, and generally putting the needs of others before your own?

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

There are so many challenges arising in the world, especially right now. If you're a sensitive person you've probably been feeling particularly overwhelmed or even checked out, and uncertain about your life path. Therapy can help you better understand what's coming up and what you can do, offering life-long skills and strategies. It can be tough to stay grounded and focused if you are struggling with anxiety, past traumas, or an eating disorder. Working as a team, we'll identify approaches to help you achieve your goals while staying true to your most important values.
