Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

The stressors of day to day tasks can drown out the voice that may have deeper connection to your intuitive and wiser self. Being in therapy can potentially allow you to listen to yourself in a unique and meaningful way. My hope is to provide an empathic environment to explore and challenge some of the barriers, often self-created, keeping you from your goals. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families.

I aim to empower others like me who have constantly heard “it is not okay to go to therapy and share your personal life with anyone,” to help shift this tabooed narrative into a more positive one. It is OKAY to share your personal life with someone who can help build that trusting relationship with you, and it is also okay to express your feelings and emotions without feeling the pressures of shame and guilt. I use the space we create together to encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, and managing relational and personal challenges.

My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you’re at, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals. Growing up in a country where mental health was a developing field, I saw the first-hand effects of an overlooked self. I consider it a privilege to assist you in your reconnection to mind, body, and soul—one therapy session at a time.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.

Sometimes we encounter hardships that seem too overwhelming or painful to manage. These struggles may occur in marriage, family relationships, parenting, at work, or coping with every-day life. They can be destabilizing, leaving us feeling hopeless and helpless. I believe these uncomfortable emotions can often be a window of opportunity to look deeper into what has happened, our role in it, and our reaction to it. Within these moments, we can unravel our own inner wisdom to help us heal and grow.

I work with a wide range of clients across the life span with a specialty in trauma, generational trauma, generational healing, and identity. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach in therapy. I have experience doing evaluations and therapy with neurodivergent individuals. I can support you with individual growth and wellness, self-discovery, trauma processing, and healing. I use a holistic approach in my work and believe that healing requires integrating mind, body, and spirit.

We as people function as individual parts in many systems. Both being impacted by and impacting the others around us. For many people issues arise when there is an imbalance between ourselves and the systems around us. When expectations are not met we often find ourselves struggling with finding balance and well-being. My goal as a clinician is to understand you as an individual functioning as a part of your cultural, social, and professional system to create a space to restore balance and peace.

I enjoy working with Adolescents and Young adults struggling with body image, emotion regulation concerns, anxiety and depression. I also work with clients who struggle with low self-esteem, trauma and phase of life transitions. Clients who are open to learning new skills, process emotions and work through their eating disorder in order to focus on their career goals and achieve their true potential in life. I offer clinical supervision to associates in California and workshops and trainings on mental health.

I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Aqssa values Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Existential Therapy, integrated with evidence-based best practice, to create balance and integration in her clients. She believes in guiding the client to their true path and allowing them to know their own power and intuition.

We ALL need a therapist, whether we like to admit it or not. We’re either struggling with our internal dialogue or external actions and behaviors, having the space and freedom to say what we wish to but can’t/won’t goes a long way in helping us feel more like us.

All of us have stressors in our life - we juggle some combination of jobs, academics, relationships, parenting, goals. It can get a little overwhelming to balance everything. Not to mention the impact of the current economic, social, political and environmental landscape on our lived experiences. This is further complicated by a layer of immigration for some folks. Sometimes, we need a little extra support. That's where I come in. I am passionate about supporting people through family of origin (FOO) and cultural identity-related issues, professional/academic burnout, and women's issues.
