"My mission as a therapist is to help each client fulfill their emotional and social needs by building a unique therapeutic relationship based on empathy, understanding and trust. We all face challenges in our lives, whether due to loss of loved ones, family and work related stress or in our relationships with others. To meet these challenges, I provide an environment of emotional safety and respect, where you will be actively involved in clarifying your needs and goals and taking the insight and skills we develop together into your daily life."

"I help clients live more authentically and develop a greater love for themselves and others. My client-centered sessions are collaborative. Together, we help you gain insight, take action and achieve positive change. I trained at Harvard University (doctoral intern and postdoctoral fellow). In addition to my work with clients, I have taught for several universities such as UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Pepperdine University."

"The decision to pursue psychotherapy, counseling or life coaching is an important and personal one. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to help you decide if the services that I provide will meet your needs. As a therapist, I will offer you an objective perspective and a safe environment for you to explore the aspects of your life that are challenging or creating you hardship. My primary goal is to help you to internalize your optimal values & innate strengths to empower you and enable you to live the life you desire and deserve."

"I am a clinical psychologist dedicated to providing collaborative, empathetic, client-centered care. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate space for exploration and here-and-now processing to improve one’s quality of life. While historically the field of psychology has embraced a disease model that emphasizes pathology and deficits, I emphasize a “strength-based” approach. In addition to symptom reduction, I am equally invested in building resilience, identifying and promoting strengths, and improving psychological well-being and values-congruent living. "

"As a psychotherapist I believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment for people to feel and express their emotions and dialogue about their realities. Meeting the client where they are at and working together to build insight and awareness towards creating a more fulfilled life is my main goal in therapy. I assist clients who are facing a wide range of issues including: suicidal ideation, grief and loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, and spiritual concerns in taking steps towards healing."

She has been trained in exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) from McLean Hospital, a psychiatric affiliate of Harvard Medical School; Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) from the Trauma Center, founded by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk; and psychodynamic therapy from Boston College. She is also currently receiving a year-long training from Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Seattle. "

"I work with professional women struggling in their personal lives. You may be having difficulty with relationships, self esteem, boundaries, family issues, or self destructive behaviors. Maybe you're a top performer but are secretly suffering from imposter syndrome or burn out as you try to live up to your own or imaginary expectations - or are even wondering if you're in the right field. You're worried about disappointing people and being liked. You've been spinning your wheels wondering where you've gone wrong and are finally realizing you're going to have to invest in yourself to get to the next level. "

"Anxiety is the #1 psychological issue in the U.S. today. Over the past 2 decades I have helped men and women around the globe, improve their emotional and psychological health and wellbeing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, transition, self esteem, relationship issues, grief/loss, sleep issues, or personal &/or professional stress, I can help you feel better and create a life that you love. I offer virtual therapy to clients in WA, CO, NM, FL, and SC. I offer executive coaching to clients around the globe."

"My practice focuses on helping people develop healthy, meaningful, and satisfying lives and relationships. Sometimes negative thoughts and feelings - about ourselves, other people, or the world - get in the way of us being our best selves. Clinically, clients and I collaborate to reinforce adaptive behaviors, and understand your unique strengths so that you may live a meaningful and satisfying life and improve the quality of important relationships. In therapy, we focus on both problem-solving difficult situations, as well as developing an understanding of long-term patterns that contribute to your distress."

"Therapy provides a second chance. I listen carefully and thoughtfully to you. This opens up new ways of approaching problems. "Putting two heads together" lightens the load. People can inadvertently "shoot themselves in the foot," by using ways to protect themselves that were necessary in the past but now keep them from getting what they most want. Together we understand the issues you struggle with, and why these are difficult for you. Doing this in a non-judgmental relationship helps you feel more compassion for yourself. This leads to increased self esteem and a stronger sense of self."

"Are you in the midst of a difficult, traumatic, or confusing transition? I work with clients facing difficulty around trauma, relationships, midlife, leaving home, relocating, job loss, grief, anxiety, depression, culture shock or other significant life events including simply feeling stuck. I bring over 30 years of professional and personal development to my work with individuals, families, adolescents, and couples. I hold a safe, secure, non-judgmental space in which to explore emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings."

"Therapy provides a safe place to ask the questions that scare us, to find connection and healing, to feel good and be authentic, and take charge of our lives. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, attachment difficulties, life transitions, parenting concerns, relationship issues, loneliness and isolation, and finding purpose in life. I support clients' efforts to gain insight into the sources of their challenges and pain, find connection, make positive changes in relationships, identify strengths and resources, cope with personal history, and take charge of their life."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsatisfied with some aspect of your life? This can often lead to challenges connecting with ourselves, connecting with others, and ultimately thwarting our ability to live the life we desire. While emotions are something we all experience and are impacted by on a daily basis, emotional awareness and understanding doesn't always come easily. If you are living with the effects of trauma/PTSD (any form), depression, anxiety, strained relationships, body-image issues, or any sense of misalignment within your life, I can help you work through these obstacles and nourish your sense of self. "

"Sometimes clients who reach out to me are struggling with identifiable issues - depression, anxiety, addictions, stress, grief, life transitions, or illness. Sometimes they're couples grappling with the fallout of infidelity or suffering from a loss of intimacy. And sometimes new clients don't even know what the problem is. They just know something isn't working. I've been practicing for over thirty years, helping individuals and couples gain a deeper understanding of themselves and each other so they can live whole-heartedly and in the present."

"I work with people who are looking to get more out of their lives - at work, in relationships, in this complicated world. Choosing the right therapist for you is important - email, text or call to set up a free consult to see if we're a good match to work through your issues. My areas of focus include work issues, depression and anxiety, grief, navigating American culture, and sexual issues that get in the way of committed relationships."

"We seek therapy for a variety of reasons. We feel confused, overwhelmed, or in emotional pain, sometimes over relationship or work difficulties. We may feel lost or uncertain about ourselves and our connections to others. We may also be in the midst of a life transition or change, and desire the support and space to sort out our needs and feelings. At times we seek therapy out of a need for personal growth and exploration, and a desire to have more connection with our creative process."

"Life comes at us fast sometimes; and we struggle to adjust and adapt. As an integrative therapist practicing in North Tacoma and in Downtown Seattle, I take satisfaction in helping otherwise well-functioning adults successfully deal with complex lives and complex individual circumstances. Our development (personal, professional, relational) depends upon the continual management of and response to a changing environment. To a very large degree we are a product of all that we have inherited and all that we have experienced."

"Everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. Whether it's struggling with a difficult relationship, work or school, anxiety, depression, or problems in your family or social life, you're making an effort now to change. We will work together on ways to resolve the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that have prevented you from being who you want and attaining the things in life you really want for yourself. I offer a warm, safe, and confidential setting where we determine what your therapy needs are and how to achieve them."

"I work with those who struggle with anger. Often times the anger is brought on by unmet expectations and merely a symptom of deeper issues under the surface. It's my job to metaphorically stand in a place you can not see, and point you in the right direction as to the cause of what is contributing to the anger. By doing so, you can receive insight that will enrich your life and change it for the better."

"I am currently accepting new clients! I provide high-quality Online Therapy & Counseling services. I specialize in phone and video chat therapy with individuals and couples. My goal is to help you become the most AUTHENTIC version of your Self. My work is deeply infused with spirituality as a Certified Spiritual Exploration Specialist. I utilize CBT, mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques that help you come into alignment with your higher Self, your true Self. When you are living in alignment with your values, you feel joy and peace. When you are aligned, you can literally create anything and everything you want in life."
