Therapists in Woodinville, WA

I help people (men, women, LGBTQ+, teens) transcend trauma and painful patterns, to help them uncover their potential and lead a joyful life. While we cannot change the past, I utilize EMDR and other techniques to reduce the disturbance that past events have on your mind and body. I am person-centered therapist who believes that my clients are the experts in their own lives. I will meet you where you are at. I provide a warm, judgment free space, strict confidentiality, and hope of healing. Reaching out is an act of courage that reaps surprising rewards. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if we are the right fit for you.

With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I help individuals and couples discover, create, and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. However, I have worked with many mental health issues over the years and frequently work with stress, addiction, motivation, intimacy issues, family conflict, life changes/adjustments, grief, communication issues, emotional regulation, parenting, self-esteem, and personal growth and discovery. I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, couples and families.

Accepting clients. To survive in a traumatized, ego-centric culture filled with counterfeit images, we pay a steep price - trauma & pain in our disconnected bodies, loneliness & broken-heartedness in our relationships, an unmet longing for passionate, meaningful engagement with the world. Crisis, illness, pain, suffering & despair become the catalyst for change, awakening our yearning for a more courageous, authentic, embodied life. Speaking to us through symptoms, grief, images, longings, dreams- the soul calls- beckoning us into the unknown, asking us to surrender what no longer serves us. I help people navigate this wilderness.

Life can be hard, and at times very painful. We can easily get stuck and need a little help to get back on track. I have over 18 years of clinical experience providing counseling to teens, adults, couples and families as they navigate and resolve some of life’s toughest challenges. I believe that all individuals possess an innate ability to heal and to grow with the right support and resources. I consider it an honor to work with my clients as they seek to regain balance and hope. Change is possible!!

Are you feeling anxious? Struggling with those ruminating thoughts of “I’m not good enough”, feeling burnt out worried you’re letting everyone down and struggling to take care of yourself. It’s overwhelming and lonely but as your therapist, I want to partner with you on your journey of figuring these things out. I've worked 11 years in the mental health field with adults navigating issues of anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and burnout issues with the goal of improving self-esteem and quality of life through learning coping skills, learning to challenge negative thoughts, and figuring out what is in your power to control.

Life is difficult and navigating your way through the world can be a lonely, painful experience. It leaves scars and memories that can turn the person in the mirror into a complete stranger. Depression, anxiety, pain, confusion and regret seem to keep pulling you down into an endless cycle. Discovering how to face your world, your circumstances, and more importantly, yourself, takes more than just will power. It can't be done alone, but it can be done.

You deserve a voice in the therapy experience, after all, you are the expert of your life story. I believe therapy looks different for each client sitting with me and come with a variety of ways to help you realize your goals as you set them. The virtual space we occupy together during our sessions is incredibly important to me. I want you to feel heard and understood first and foremost. I work towards building a strong rapport with each client so as we progress forward we can work collaboratively to challenge aspects of your life that may not be working for you anymore.

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.

Life can be painful and confusing sometimes. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or challenging life changes. Maybe you are grieving the loss of someone, or some part of your life...feeling alone and afraid to take the next step. lt might be time to get a different perspective on your problems so that you can start to feel the relief you are seeking and move forward. I will work carefully with you to uncover the basis for your distress, reexamine your expectations and choices, then explore new ways of experiencing your life that make sense to you.

Now accepting NEW clients! We all experience difficulties in life: breakups, divorce, grief and loss as well as trouble with school or work performance. We believe quality mental health services should be available when inevitable events knock us off course and we can't "fix" it ourselves. Most people try several remedies before therapy, but sometimes extra help is needed. We also recognize that everyone wants privacy, ranging from children to lawyers to other medical professionals. We were founded with you in mind. Your privacy is important to us, and shouldn't be a barrier to quality care.

New clients welcome! We all deserve to heal and I believe we each harbor this innate power within ourselves. You don’t have to do this alone. Life is riddled with difficult feelings, responsibilities, and tumultuous relationships, chances are you’ve weathered many storms in your life. Whether you are managing anxiety, encountering a life transition, or healing your relationship to yourself, therapy can help support you on your journey to living a full and vibrant life. I work with millennial adults and women of all ages helping them reclaim power over their anxiety and build a life that is aligned with their values and goals.

Therapy is about you – your successes and strengths, your stumbles and hurts, your needs and goals. Pain has a way of making us feel isolated and alone. It can tear us up on the inside while hiding from others on the outside. We often believe that we are feeling pain because we are not doing something right, so we think that if we just “try harder” or “do better” then we can make the hurt go away. Often, our pain is like a warning light on the dashboard of our car. It’s trying to tell us something important that, if ignored, could be dangerous and impair our ability to function well - or at all.

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help. One of the most important steps of pursuing counseling is finding a passionate, knowledgeable, and trusting therapist that you feel comfortable with. One that will sit with you through your difficult moments and help you to recognize or remind you of your strength. If a mood disorder is taking control of your life, I can help you to learn how to manage it. ​If you are experiencing challenges with your significant other(s) I can help you to improve the connection, understanding, and intimacy.

Life is full of unexpected changes, both big and small, and navigating these transitions can be incredibly challenging. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. Whether you're dealing with loss, going through a big life change, trying to be kinder to yourself, or just want to understand yourself better, I'm here to help you navigate your personal growth and well-being.
