Therapists in Duvall, WA

I am a bicultural and a bilingual immigrant therapist with a passion for supporting and empowering people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups, and my personal and professional goals include disrupting the oppression and creating an equitable and safe world for all. I practice under ACT and Person-Centered framework, and value establishing a therapeutic relationship that's based on trust, which is safe and warm to hold your emotions and experiences--I believe in the uniqueness for every client, and am dedicated to view the development of each client which is reflective of your own goals and values.

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.

As a Systemic Therapist and Supervisor, I love helping people explore who they are, what they want, and how to get past the hurdles that get in their way. I support people around all issues of identity: how they see themselves, what parts are hidden, and how these things affect their interactions with others. I find that issues of identity are often the core of both personal dissatisfaction and conflicts with others, and so I help people explore what those are and how to work with them.

Life can be a real struggle especially when we are out of balance or out of alignment with our own values, passions, and goals. Many folks I work with struggle to prioritize their own needs and desires, may be disconnected from what they those even are. Whether through childhood or relational trauma, internalized habits of masking neurodivergence or marginalized identities, or a deeply compassionate nature, the cost of this often burnout, depression, anxiety, and disconnection.

Sometimes life stressors can create a heaviness that weighs us down, causing anxiety, depression, and an overall stuck feeling. The most effective way to lift the heaviness to reach a place of ease is through the therapeutic process. I can help support you on this journey to a more comfortable life and a more confident you.

I love working with LGBT+ clients and discussing any issues related to sexuality and gender. I am well-equipped in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, and/or emotion regulation issues. I enjoy working with adolescents and adult clients. I feel passionate about walking alongside folks through life transitions and hardships.

I work with adolescents and adults with challenges, such as self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, sexuality, identity, and more. I consider your culture, identity, and worldview in every counseling session. Meeting you where you are currently in life is vital in building a therapeutic alliance. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that provides unconditional support for you to feel heard in a non-judgmental approach. You are the expert in your journey to healing. Therefore, I trust that you will lead me to the most challenging areas of life.

My practice specializes in gender identity development and sexual orientation. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults (as well as adults beginning to question their identity). Therapy focuses on anxiety management, gender dysphoria, coming out, improving self-esteem, connection to community, relationship skills, and the process of transitioning (if desired). Whether someone is exploring new feelings or has identified as LGBTQ+ for years, the challenges they face may bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, confusion, and even anger. Working with an experienced therapist trained in gender and sexual minority issues can help.

I specialize in working with queer adults who seek a therapeutic relationship that values and celebrates their diverse identities. Whether you're navigating the complexities of gender and relationship diversity or grappling with trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss, depression, or anxiety, I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore, and grow. As a queer, trans-masc and polyamorous human, I am dedicated to supporting and affirming queer adults on their path to healing and self-discovery.

I work with individuals ages 18 and over. I have a particular passion for working with people living with religious trauma, confusion about their religious conditioning or emerging from cults or cult-like religious structures. I also focus on providing care for the LGBTQ+ community and I am a non-binary member of the community myself. Additionally, I work with people navigating depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and trauma. I also offer gender-affirming care, help for those questioning their gender, and people at any stage of transition.

As a human who is part of the LGBTQ and neurodivergent community, I dedicate myself to providing a safe, relatable space, to sit with our vulnerabilities, engage in real communication and experience positive growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, communication struggles, self-esteem concerns, and so much more, I would love the opportunity to work with you.

Do you feel like you have to hide parts of yourself or wish parts would go away? Do you struggle to show up as your authentic self?

I have a direct and compassionate approach working with you so the therapeutic plan will reflect you as a whole person. Our holistic treatment plan will include honoring the client’s racial, gender, sexual, and spiritual identities.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach.

It is important to me that you feel heard in a non-judgmental approach. I do not see myself as an expert on your life, but merely someone who is crossing paths with you in your healing journey.

I believe therapy begins within a genuine connection where your unique story can truly be heard and validated. My role as a therapist is to provide space and support with attunement, compassion, and sensitivity to your specific needs. I believe that change occurs within the context of a trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship in which you feel safe to speak freely about the challenges you are facing.
