Therapists in Seattle, WA

Whatever the reason you are here, welcome. I’m glad that you are taking steps toward prioritizing you and your health. We all deserve health, happiness, and aliveness and therapy can be a part of that journey. You might be dissatisfied with your life or relationships and want change. Your experience of dissatisfaction can look like anxiety, depression, disconnection from your desire or pleasure, identity confusion, or feelings of self-hatred or worthlessness. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, religions, cultures, and communities, including the queer community, and with people in all types of relationship styles.

Are you wishing for better relationships? Feeling anxious, down, lost, or wondering about the meaning of life? Would you like to feel more confident? Hoping to heal after trauma? Going through loss or life transition? We need lots of self-compassion so we can heal and find a better approach to our lives and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental space to be open about your struggles and explore what it means to live in your values. It is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients. I believe the struggles we face also occur in the systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity.

Your needs and story are unique and your therapy should be too. Let's find the right kind of therapy for you so you can thrive rather than just get by.

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.

People often come to therapy struggling with a particular feeling, relationship, or question that they can't seem to escape no matter what they do. Why? Research shows us that our struggles are typically about far more than they appear on the surface. Often the problems of our present are deeply rooted in our pasts and the lessons we learned from our families, cultures, and formative experiences. Yet, many are unaware of the learned assumptions that govern their lives, even when they get in their way.

I provide in-person and virtual talk therapy for individual adults and teens. My clients struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, romantic relationship issues, family issues, social issues, trauma, and many other life challenges. We all face challenges in life but sometimes we get stuck. We can usually identify patterns that negatively impact our relationships, work, and overall health. I support clients in exploring their unique patterns, creating purposeful solutions, and developing the confidence they need to design a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Accepting new clients and supervisee's (8/2023). My therapeutic approach draws from varied perspectives offered by relational and attachment-focused theories. By thoughtfully integrating these approaches, I strive to provide a comprehensive understanding of my clients' concerns, and help them explore the ways in which their past experiences and relationships have shaped their present challenges. At the heart of my approach is a deep commitment to fostering personal growth and clarity in my clients' lives. I strive to guide clients' to a deeper understanding to help them make meaningful and thoughtful progress towards their goals.

My clients come to therapy struggling to understand themselves and their partner, leaving them feeling hallow, lost, and alone. They desperately want to feel secure in themselves and connected to their partner, but are confused and wary about how to begin changing. As a therapist, I meet this dilemma with warmth and compassion, as well as knowledge and confidence; this combination is the base of successful therapy. My similar life experiences make me genuine and relatable, and my training background from the top marriage and therapy program and ongoing advanced training support and guide our work.

Therapy works best when it is tailored to your needs. My job is to provide a safe and welcoming place for you to show up just as you are, to feel heard and supported, and to work through the issues that are causing distress. Sometimes we know why we are feeling what we are feeling and sometimes we don’t—both are great places to start therapy. Together we can explore what is happening in your life and find solutions that best suit you. I enjoy working with teens and adults on a wide range of issues and most recently spent time working with adolescents as a school-based therapist in middle school and high school.

Accepting New Clients. As a sex and relationship therapist, I bring a somatic perspective to sessions: highlighting the nervous system, locating feelings in the body, and developing skills for increased pleasure and embodiment. My primary focus is relationships, including relationship to others, community, self, the body, and the natural world. I believe that connecting with ourselves leads to a deeper connection with others, and I practice both individual and relational therapy. In session, I invite deeper conversations around sexuality and gender, which are foundational aspects of who we are and how we express ourselves.

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.

I offer relationship-focused therapy, drawing from wisdom traditions and holistic approaches.
