Therapists in Bellevue, WA

Please check my availability again in the future! Your new journey of healing and transformation begins here. I am a licensed psychologist and provide trauma focused online psychotherapy and consultation for adults. I am trained in existential humanistic transpersonal psychology, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, EMDR, and ketamine assisted integration therapy (KAP). My approach is mind-body oriented, and I will help you work on various life issues including intergenerational trauma, CPTSD, multiculturalism, job/academic performance, spirituality, relationships, parenting, co-dependency, marriage, and divorce.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

Seeking Therapy is a courageous act of self-love; however, it can feel scary at first, but I want you to know that you made the right decision. A safe therapeutic environment would promote growth, healing, and stability. Therapy provides a haven for you to discuss things that you are currently struggling with or have experienced in the past and have not been able to heal from the situation completely. I have experience assisting individuals and couples in finding effective coping strategies to help manage life and relationship challenges.

I have openings for both in-person and tele-therapy (video or phone sessions) and would be honored to support you during whatever challenges you or your loved ones may be facing. My principle areas of expertise are working with couples, children, teens, and adults experiencing depression and anxiety as a result of stresses in their lives caused by relationship difficulties, family conflict, work/career issues, school-related problems, and unresolved issues from childhood or other trauma.

"Love says, 'I am everything.' Wisdom says, 'I am nothing." Between these two, my life flows.” Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Coming back from Vietnam, I found myself drawn to the human psyche and our ability to shape our existence. This exploration led to an intensive study of eastern and western psychological principles and practices. Along this journey, I found my calling - to recognize the innate goodness in all people and help them discover their inner power to transform their lives. I dedicated myself to helping people know they are more than the problems they want to overcome.

Are you struggling or stuck? Do you feel confused, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or afraid? Do you feel sad, lonely, empty, lost, worthless, ashamed, or guilty? I am here to help you to go through your emotional pain, difficult life issues, relational issues, adjustment issues, mental health issues, or other overwhelming troubles and brokenness. I will listen and work with you to solve your issues and achieve your goals, to adjust to changes, to find yourself, and to feel connected to the world around you. I will walk with you in your journey to facilitate your healing and to grow into your full potential.

Do you struggle with distressing thoughts, feelings, or relationships? I view these problems as both present and past, meaning what we learn early in life may be unknowingly affecting the way we behave in the present. The counseling process can help to illuminate personal strengths, goals, and solutions to fit your unique story and personal desires.

I work with men of all ages and adolescents with various challenges with mental health that stem from a lack of meaning, purpose, and values. Men and young people often find themselves trying to navigate life with a blank map and struggle with the harshest critic of all, themselves, as they do. I also work with couples to help navigate the gap between them by opening up healthy communication streams and discovering what is behind some maladaptive behaviors.

I deeply believe that healing is possible and have dedicated my life to this. I see each client as an individual and will work with you to identify your specific wants, needs, and goals for our work together. Whether you are dealing with deep trauma, family problems, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, or a spiritual crisis, I offer compassionate, effective, and evidence-based treatment that you can access from your own home. As a therapist, I use compassion, curiosity, humor, and authenticity to create a safe and warm therapeutic environment that allows for personal discovery, growth, and healing.

I offer a confidential space to talk, feel your emotions, gain insight, and grow. I am here to listen to you while offering reflections, feedback, and insight from a therapeutic lens. I believe that exploration leads to change and once you get started, you will begin to feel different in many areas of your life.

My professional interests and current training experience are in the area of personality and mood disorders. I have certification in treating psychological trauma and it connection to addiction. It is critical that professionals are trained in handling psychological trauma and addiction brought on by a variety of factors, including mental health factors. I identify the basis of negative emotional reactivity, look at the motivational factors of deviant behavior or impulsive behaviors in general and assist the client in gaining healthy life skills that will help them through their difficulties.

I work with individuals and couples/families that are finding that what they are processing in their lives are no longer serving them. Whether it be for recent life transitions, anxiety, PTSD, or depression; whatever path or experiences you have provides the right tools and solutions for what you want to do next in life. Part of my role is to shed light on what is working, what is not working. Together, what you share and express with me is part of identifying what solution(s) may be best for you and how to align those solutions by integrating them into your lifestyle.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a warm and welcoming environment where you are free to explore the areas of your life you wish to improve for holistic healing - physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. I offer a warm and empathetic environment as I use a person-centered approach that allows me to understand you through your own unique experiences and walk alongside you on this journey to achieve your personal goals. My primary focus is in child, individual, and couples/family counseling as well as working with neurodivergent populations using neurodiversity-affirming language and approach.

I am a holistic, integrative, person-centered, culturally considerate therapist for adolescents ages 13 & up, individuals, partners and families. I am curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I believe communication with yourself and others is at the heart of successful relationships. I also believe that you know what you need to heal and my job is to help you get more in touch with that part of yourself. As an empathetic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation.

Counseling can offer an understanding of the behaviors, beliefs and emotions that fuel our daily interactions with families and other people. Therapy is a process. My job is to facilitate you through possible change options. It is my goal to work with you closely during therapy to aid in clarifying your goals for treatment, explore patterns and choices of communication, relationships, life style and foster development of beneficial coping strategies with commitment on both parts during therapy. The main goal is to explore patterns of behavior, thoughts, and actions to foster positive change and personal growth.
