Teletherapy for Alki Beach - Seattle, WA

I work with clients to process trauma, emotions, and life stressors; cope with and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and post-traumatic stress and expand their window of tolerance/what they are able to tolerate; rewire thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and thereby one’s environment to align with their authentic truth and desires; define and draw boundaries; and identify core beliefs. I love to help women create a life in alignment with their menstrual cycle (intentional scheduling, eating, intimacy, and socializing for optimal energy functioning), as well as help all people structure and deepen their spiritual path.

As a psychologist specializing in empowering high-achieving women and emerging young adults, I have witnessed firsthand the immense pressure and expectations that can weigh heavily on their shoulders. Often, the need to excel in various aspects of their lives combined with challenges such as anxiety, trauma, depression, and role shifts (e.g. starting a new job, graduating college, becoming a mother) can come at the expense of their mental and emotional well-being. Through my practice, I aim to help my clients cultivate self-compassion and self-esteem, which in turn can lead to improved relationships and greater confidence.

I specialize in ADHD, women's issues, career counseling, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and childhood trauma. When you encounter these things in adulthood, there's often no one to walk you through the difficulties they bring. You need help from someone who specializes in this, who understands how you're feeling and can be with you on your journey, and has tools to help. I'd love to hear how I might be able to support you. I offer Authentic + Empowering Therapy for Adults in Seattle, WA. Accepting New Clients (Updated 1/8/24)

Seeking out counseling is a courageous act of support that you give yourself and is a challenging and rewarding process that is full of support and deep exploration. I am excited to talk with you about what you are experiencing and how to move forward through the challenges you are facing today.

I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, ADHD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

We all find ourselves in places in our lives where we ask how we arrived to where we are. It can be confusing, disorienting, and overwhelming. Sometimes being able to shift focus and try a new approach can be helpful. My hope is to have the privilege to walk along side you as you consider change, embrace exploration, and solidify your internal foundation. Adolescents and children face difficulties that can become behavioral challenges for parents and the family system. Changes from loss, family additions, and divorce can also be unsettling. Knowing how to navigate through those challenges sometimes requires outside support.

Experienced and insightful, I help clients find their way back to themselves and their relationships by increasing curiosity, compassion, and insight through the ability to self-reflect. Employing mindfulness, emotionally-focused and body-awareness therapies along with traditional talk therapy, I share ways to recognize ineffective patterns, increase somatic and emotional intelligence, understand and develop new coping skills, and enhance empathy and positivity.

I welcome both individuals and couples seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship struggles, and stress related to parenting or caregiving. I also work with health care providers and anyone in a caregiving profession to process burnout, fatigue, and secondary trauma.

I help people find the optimal version of themselves, one where they feel most aligned and grounded within their humanness. If you feel like you are wading in quicksand, I can help you build a foundation to stand on and grow from. I have experience supporting people through: Life Transitions (including new or complicated parenthood), Anxiety, Depression, Lifestyle Modifications, Grief (including prolonged grief), Chronic Pain, PTSD and C-PTSD (Complex PTSD), Recently diagnosed medical conditions, Somatic Challenges and Concerns, Navigating Complex Medical Issues (eg. BRCA 2+ positive) using a variety of therapeutic tools/models.

As of 12/15/23 I am currently taking new patients via Zoom. Late afternoon and evening appointments available.

Your uncomfortable symptoms may be what send you to therapy, but they can also serve you. You may feel overwhelmed or confused, and yet this is also an invitation for hope, curiosity, insight, and self-compassion. It is an opportunity to be able to access some of the deepest realms of yourself, to heal, and to move forward with greater confidence in your life. I work with individuals of all ages, and provide support for people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adoption, trauma, body image and eating disorders, life transitions, individuation, co-dependence, overall work and family stress, and multicultural issues.

I provide counseling for adults, older adults, and families caring for loved ones with dementia. I have over 30 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, family conflict, stress-related concerns, help with personal and life transitions and behaviors related to dementia. I can help you to create and practice effective communication for positive relationships, develop new coping skills for life transitions, and help with conflict management and family dilemmas.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step so that life may get different for you. The beauty and benefits of re-examining how we can make changes in our lives, continues to fuel my passion for therapeutic dialogue. The integrative nature of my work allows for us to look at family of origin explanations, without blaming, so that you can move toward change. When what feels like roadblocks comes up there are a number of tools that can help, like increasing mindfulness and learning more around boundaries and assertive communication.

Many people seek therapy when they feel disconnected from themselves, their story, their body, or their community. As a therapist, I understand that being human can be complex, challenging, and even messy. However, it can also be beautiful and delightful, especially when on a healing journey. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients connect with their innate ability to heal and grow. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and experiences, and my role is to support and empower them throughout the process.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than 25 years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, substance dependence, trauma, chronic illness, mania, and relationship concerns. My approach is eclectic, encompassing Internal Family Systems, CBT, family of origin, motivational interviewing and hypnosis. Please see my website for more comprehensive information.

Are you feeling lost, unsure, or looking to connect with a deeper sense of yourself? Often my clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or grief and are looking to improve their quality of life. I specialize in working among the polyamorous community. I also have personal experience in the tech/corporate world so am acutely familiar with the challenges that accompany that work environment - especially those faced by folks whose identities are underrepresented. I am allied with the LGBTQIA+ community and aligned with social justice and racial equity practices.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with relational and individual emotional difficulties stemming from childhood neglect and/or abuse. I will show you how our brain and nervous system works to release long-held dysfunctional patterns of anxiety and depression. You will learn skills for Mindfulness and sensation awareness in order to release of the shock, grief, abandonment and shame that are often the root cause of depressive and hyperactive nervous systems.

Now accepting new clients! Everyone has their own general practitioner and dentist, everyone should have their own therapist too. Whether you are in crisis, transition or just need someone to talk things through with, I'm here to be with you. Adolescents and teens and adults welcome! Everyone will have a different therapy journey and I'll be with you every step of the way.
