Relationship Issues Therapists in Seattle, WA

I’m a Couples Therapist and Individual Therapist as well as the Co-founder at Wellness Collective Therapy Group in Seattle, Washington: www.wellnesscollectivenw.com. I specialize in treating relationship issues around communication, sex and intimacy and conflict resolution. My clients are often looking for help with emotional disconnection, job stress, self worth issues, depression and anxiety. I help clients change their emotional responses and develop tools for managing stressors and increasing joy, contentment and peace in their lives.

Do you have difficulty trusting your experiences and navigating how the world perceives and treats you? Are you struggling to feel comfortable in your body? Many of us learn to think and behave in unsustainable ways in order to stay safe in an unaccepting and marginalizing world. If you are struggling to break free from patterns that helped you survive in the past but are keeping you from thriving in the now, you're in the right place. I help LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and women build self-compassion and body-awareness to better understand how trauma is holding them back.

I work with adults and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, dating and relationship issues, divorce/parenting/coparenting or communication of their needs in order to build stronger and deeper connections with themselves and others. It can be incredibly challenging to build healthy emotional attachments to the people in your life when dealing with anxiety, depression, poor modeling and the struggles of everyday.

Wherever you are in your therapeutic journey, my first goal is to offer a warm, empathetic space where you can be comfortable exploring the questions that brought you here. I welcome individuals, couples, kids, teens, and families and I am a long-practicing ally to BIPOC and LGTBQIA+ communities.

Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Seattle, WA. Psychotherapy is a trusting collaboration between therapist and client. In a safe and supportive environment we work together to identify problem areas, determine strategies and options that make sense to you and work toward real, immediate and long-term solutions. My goal is to provide immediate relief from a stressful situation while understanding the problem in the larger context of your life. I want to help you discover a process of working through issues that leads to a real, long-term solution--to really correct the problem!

In Person Appointments Available. In times of trouble, our thoughts and emotions can become overwhelming and painful. Talking with a counselor can reduce confusion and help you feel better. I will listen carefully to your point of view, ask questions about your life - past and present - and provide input on issues you raise. Over time, this process can provide perspective, insight, and tools for meaningful change.

You may notice self-doubt, overwhelm, or disconnection showing up in your life. Anxieties like these often overflow into our relationships too, which can feel like a lot to untangle. Thankfully, relationships can be a powerful place for growth. Our close relationships can even be the mirrors that help us see deeper pain and patterns we couldn't see before. I offer support to reconnect with yourself or your partner, lower relationship anxiety, understand your anger, rebuild trust and intimacy, heal after loss, or untangle old patterns that keep you from fully living. You don't have to carry the weight of this stress alone.

Resolving relationship, cultural and communication issues can increase your self awareness to bring opportunities for growth and enjoyment. If you feel lonely and unsure why, let’s explore how to bring joy to your life, starting at our first meeting. I work with parents/families, couples and individuals. My main focus is RO-DBT, an evidenced based approach to help with issues related to "overcontrol". I also use supplementary techniques for changing habits, improving communication and reducing inner conflict.

I hold a deep regard and compassion for each individual and the ways they have learned to survive. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards integration of self and expansion of the potentials already inherent in you. In line with this, I aim for our work together to be as liberatory as possible. I see you as the expert of your own story and as holding the potential for your own healing. In our time together we can work to uncover what gets in the way of your inherent ability to flourish, be it internal, relational or rooted in the social environment in which we exist.

Psychotherapy is the process in which an individual explores his or her capacity for constructive movement. Within this journey, meaning and purpose tend to become more vivid.

Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human. In our work together my focus is building a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what you think and feel, want and need. My style as a therapist is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I use playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and laughter to support the therapy process and I prioritize taking time to get to know you and what's important to you.

I'm once again welcoming new clients. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, fatigue, or overwhelming emotions, I encourage you to reach out to me. I'm dedicated to helping you minimize and manage stress, understand and navigate your emotions, and develop more effective strategies for these challenging times. I'll pay close nonjudgmental attention to both what is voiced and what lies beneath the surface, responding with empathy, sincerity, and insightful guidance.

I love working with people who have come to a place in their lives where they want to make changes. Something is not working and they want to create a life with more joy, freedom, love, and integrity. Perhaps they are struggling with depression and anxiety, traumatic memories, difficult relationships, or grief, or perhaps they simply have the sense that they are not living fully. I work with my clients to establish a trusting relationship where they can speak honestly of the matters that most impact them and the events where they have felt anger, fear, grief, and shame.

Did you grow up in a high-control religion or strict church community that made you feel ashamed, powerless, or small?

Finding a therapist is hard! If you want to explore healing in a safe and gentle therapeutic space, I would love to help.
