Therapists in Seattle, WA

EMDR Trained and Accepting new clients. Do you doubt yourself? Do you feel drained from code-switching or being policed by others? Do you feel like others do not get you? Taking the first step towards healing and growth takes immense courage, and I am here to support you on this journey. I understand that life's challenges, especially when compounded by trauma, a world full of isms and racial experiences, can leave lasting emotional imprints. My approach centers around creating a safe, direct, and empathetic space where you can explore your emotions, confront your past, and embrace the possibilities of the future.

Current openings! I'm queer and I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and nonmonogamous adults around trauma, family of origin issues, gender affirming care, and anxiety, including OCD. Before therapy, many of my clients think: Being in my head is stressful- there are things I'm fearful of talking about, or even thinking about. My past is still affecting me. Setting boundaries can be really hard. Sometimes I have nightmares or flashbacks of things I've been through. If that sounds like you, I can help. Therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental space to make sense of your experiences and create meaningful change in your life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the community of West Seattle. It is my honor and calling to help clients in their teens & twenties reach their full potential and recognize their unique strengths. I believe that while people are doing their best, with my help they can experience greater joy as we work together to relieve suffering. With the right therapeutic interventions, it is possible to flourish and create a life worth living. It is my passion to work with adolescents dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, chronic illness and self-esteem. I also work with athletes of all ages.

I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards making meaningful change in your life and recognize the courage it takes to do so. I have helped clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, hopelessness, difficult relationships, and significant life transitions. My approach to therapy is to begin with the issues, concerns and feelings that have motivated you to seek help. I want to allow you to move through therapy at a desirable pace, and when it is helpful, I am here to provide reflections, feedback and coping techniques along the way.

Whether you feel deeply stuck in a dark place, or just need a boost to get back to enjoying life again, I will provide focused, caring attention, utilize my expertise to respectfully offer suggestions, and make a step-by-step plan. I specialize in treating trauma (with a range of proven approaches); most commonly with sexual assault survivors, childhood abuse, and vicarious trauma. I also work with most anxiety and mood disorders, stress management, and life transitions.

My practice focuses on working with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, adjustment challenges, or communication difficulties. My clients may be struggling with relationship issues, a major life transition, such as divorce or other family changes, or the death of a loved one. Other clients may face the ongoing challenges of living with depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or trauma. My emphasis is on assisting all of my clients to find hope, direction, and a better path forward, using their own inherent strengths. You deserve to feel supported and empowered.

I am an artist/poet turned therapist. My method is to slowly build a therapeutic relationship, uncover strengths, and move toward client-identified treatment goals. I support clients to externalize problematic narratives or inner states they are stuck in through creative mediums. Once clients are resourced and can see, and then interact with their patterns and parts they make changes. Together we discover and incorporate parts of the self that had to go underground due to trauma or oppression. Clients emerge from their work, whole and empowered.

Areas of interest are depression, anxiety, eating issues, women's issues, parenting support and life transitions. In my work with couples I utilize the work of John Gottman, Ph.D., an empirically-based approach emphasizing marital friendship, intimacy and respect to create a lasting marital foundation. My approach is warm, collaborative and interactive with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and a focus on your strengths and resiliencies."
