Positive Psychology Therapists in Medina, WA

It's not talk therapy, it's Change Therapy. Do your overly strong reactions to certain things surprise and upset you? Have you been encouraged by others to try therapy but you aren't sure if it's for you? OR have you been in therapy before, but the same issues are back (with a vengeance), and you keep making the same mistakes. The truth is that talk therapy won't fix problems that live in your body. If you formed beliefs when you were upset or afraid, or too young to understand what was happening, your memories live in sounds, expressions, feelings and smells. Approaching change through talking doesn't address those channels.

I have immediate openings! Life demands a lot from us. Responsibilities, relationships, and navigating of daily life drains our energy and we often spend precious downtime exhausted, mindlessly staring at our screens. I help individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, stress, and overwhelm make meaningful changes in their lives. By giving yourself space to heal, learn, and grow… change can come. Anxiety can become presence. Stress can become acceptance. Overwhelm can become peace.

I am a mental health therapist and sport psychology consultant. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating life's transitions, know that you're not alone. My role as a clinician is to create a safe space to explore challenges and work towards goals together without judgment. I encourage curiosity throughout sessions to promote awareness, connections, and insight. I draw from various theories and techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused approaches.

I specialize in adults with health related issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Are you feeling inadequate or perhaps suffering from feeling overwhelmed and overburdened? This is the time to take charge of your life and work towards being the best version of yourself. You owe it to yourself to live your best life without monumental sacrifices by utilizing the skills that you already possess to enhance your well-being as well as explore other potential strengths to propel you towards your goals. Treatment plans are not a one size fit all but are formulated in a collaborative manner, your input matters. If you have any questions, please email or call.

Do you currently feel stuck in life no matter what you try to do? Do you wish things could change but you're not sure how to go about it? If so, you are not alone. We all stumble and fall sometimes, whether in our friendships, relationships, work, and more. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help - you do not have to do this alone! I enjoy actively participating in collaborative care with my clients. No matter the issue, you and I will work as a team to conquer all! I provide culturally-minded, comprehensive, and holistic care to adults, utilizing an integrative and collaborative treatment approach.

Healing is a journey. For some, "healing" means reversing years of trauma, and for others it means 'getting out of my own head' or 'getting un-stuck.' For everyone, the path to healing is a difficult one, and it is lighter, easier, more meaningful when others join in with you. To you who have tried to go it alone, I invite you to reach out. Connecting with a counselor is a way to get un-stuck in your journey towards health, to bring healing to those deeper places of hurt.

We all deserve respect, care, and acceptance. I have a passion for helping people navigate the difficult transitions that can occur in life due to a change in health or other circumstances. I believe that we all do our best given the resources and situation provided, and that a change in perspective or new tool can make all the difference. Besides primarily using a cognitive behavioral therapy framework to address unconscious processes, I have broad experience incorporating existential, spiritual, and meaning based approaches in pursuing growth.

What happened? Do you understand your true self? Have you discovered how to live life on life's terms in a meaningful way? These are the central focuses of my practice. While I'm a psychiatrist with extensive clinical experience, I consider myself - first and foremost - a therapist who simply has more tools at his disposal as a physician. I always seek to provide holistic care. That is, I work to see and treat the whole you, not just the constellation of symptoms you have. As such, my approach shuns the conventional practice of overemphasizing diagnostic labels and medications. Life - with you in it - is more complicated than that.

Being human is a messy experience. It’s full of the ache to be cherished, to be loved, to feel a sense of belonging. While riddled with inevitable grief, loss, and suffering. It takes courage to love again even in our awareness of the potential heartbreak, to show up in the world as ourselves, to be vulnerable in fear of rejection, and move towards the things we fear. If you are facing sadness, anxiety, trauma, dependence, finding & contacting a therapist may be just as daunting a process! You are already closer to living your fullest life and truest self by acknowledging you need to look for a therapist!
