If you struggle with anxiety, stress, trauma and depression I can help.

I focus on building your self awareness and ability to control how you react to stress through becoming mindful of your needs and thought process and applying tools that work.

We’re all doing the best we can. Our life experiences teach us how to see the world, and we develop tools to get us through certain situations. Those tools work great… until they don’t. We tend to struggle when our experiences change but our tools stay the same. My goal is to help you figure out what’s working and what’s not. Sometimes we have to review and update how we see the world. Sometimes we need to upgrade our tools and practice new skills. Whether you’re striving toward a dream or surviving a storm, therapy gives us a chance to tap into strengths and repair pukas for this stage of your journey.

Today you are one step closer to a new you who feels empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a client-centered counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am also a WA State Approved Supervisor.

Currently full but can help match Deaf people to therapists. My approach is integrative and primarily informed by EMDR therapy. I prioritize remaining person-centered and trauma informed, which basically just means that our sessions are about you and what you want and that I avoid pathologizing behaviors and feelings that could be the result of a traumatic experience. I look at therapy through a social justice and anti-oppression lens. I believe counseling should offer a safe, non-judgmental opportunity to explore and discover a path to your own place of peace. For Deaf people, my VP # is (206) 829-5104.

My counseling clinic name is Pain Alternatives because my early practice was primarily in structural medicine. I became interested in mental wellness after years of seeing the inextricable connectedness of mental and physical pain. In my current practice, I use a time-limited dynamic psychotherapy model, and medication prescription and management wherever clinically appropriate. You can come for medication management alone, for counseling alone, or for a combination of medication prescription and management with counseling sessions.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in living healthy, fulfilling lives. I do this through helping clients identify goals they want to work toward, personal strengths on which they can build, skills they want to develop, and barriers they want to overcome. My work is client-centered and strengths-based, recognizing that change often takes time, hard work, and patience. Thus, I move with clients at their pace, knowing that recovery looks different for everyone and that there isn’t one approach to fit all clients. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space for clients so they can develop trust and evaluate their life.

Currently only accepting new couples. Conflict in interpersonal relationships is one of the most difficult challenges we may face. If you are looking to overcome a communication rut and get back on the same team with your partner, I am here to help! I can help you rekindle your connection and see a future again. I want you to feel safe to openly explore your challenges as we collaborate on a plan toward change.

My approach involves empathically engaging with your past, present, and future to increase self-empowerment and identify new paths toward thriving. The process of therapy is a collaboration between the client and clinician, but you will be the ultimate agent of change in your life. At the heart of my process, I use sensitive-inquiry and mindfulness-based practices to nudge you toward an integrated relationship with yourself. I will encourage you to feel deeply, tune into the physical sensations of your emotions, and find meaning-making systems. Self-compassion is a primary emphasis in my work.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to adults who are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, interpersonal deficits, and other issues regarding the self. I am a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and work well with the individualistic and affirmative fashions in which human beings choose to self-identify. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that the individual is part of system: the micro (familial), the mezzo (immediate community), and the macro (the world at large). I look forward to speaking with you.

You are the authority on how you describe yourself and your experience; not me. Those who find the most success in our work together seek therapy that has a conversational tone rather than an evaluation. They are ready to address harmful experiences, establishing a path forward, while existing in a society that prioritizes individualism and profit. As a non-pathologizing provider, diagnoses will only be used when required and with your permission.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed by anxious thoughts or fears? I want to assure you that you are not alone in this journey. Together, we can explore ways to tackle these challenging emotions and work towards a sense of relief and empowerment. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their unique experiences and build genuine connections. Whatever challenges you may be facing, I am here to guide you towards a more empowering and authentic life.

The first step in the therapy process is building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and compassion. I offer a down to earth approach that recognizes your struggles and your strengths. Growth occurs when we believe that we are truly accepted for who we are right now. When this happens, we are better equipped to see what we may want to hold onto and what we may want to shift. I will think creatively with you as this process unfolds and provide a safe place for you to think, feel and construct meaning of your experiences.
