It's my job is to walk beside the client at their pace in order to see their world. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy means clients not only uncover insights about themselves but they also learn about changes needed to reach their desired goals. My clients leave with numerous tools to utilize throughout their lives. People are inspiring creations to me, I love working with people, regardless of their issues, and believe each of us has the power to shape our own future into whatever we desire. Personalized solutions are critical for the success of each individual, couple and family.

I believe the power to change, grow, and overcome obstacles lies within each one of us. Sometimes, for many different reasons, we need additional support to identify, and build on the strengths we have within us to accomplish what we want. I have 16 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients as they accomplish their goals and overcome life stressors, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I have been a mental health therapist for over 24 years. As a therapist, I have found people want to feel empowered to manage their own life. I work with clients to learn to manage emotions and negative thoughts that are running their lives. I teach clients to learn to respond to people and situations and not to react to them. I am a DialecticaI Behavior Therapist (DBT) . I have also received extensive training in cognitive and behaviors therapies to work with people who experience depression and anxiety. In addition, I completed my dissertation on the attention system and working memory. This makes me qualified to evaluate and help people who experience learning disabilities and problems with their attention and memory.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself. You long for companionship and have a deep desire to matter, to belong, and to be respected.

I have been a counselor for 13 years. Most of my counseling has been as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I also have worked with people who have co-dependency issues, anxiety issues, post traumatic stress disorder, and depression. I am moved into my own private practice in June 2015. I am currently a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Chemical Dependency Proffessional, in Washington State.

Despite our efforts to be present in our daily life, memories of past relationships and experiences can keep us from feeling fully capable of doing so. I will work collaboratively with you, valuing your life experiences and input, to achieve a life with an increased sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, and worth. I currently provide individual therapy in two locations. I have limited spots for clients seeking to use insurance in Edgewood. I also provide EMDR intensives and self-pay sessions in Tacoma where superbills, or monthly statements, can be provided for your personal reimbursement request from insurance.

Seeking counseling can be one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. It is also one of the bravest decisions. Day to day life is stressful, and at times, life tosses us a curveball. My goal is to help you identify your strengths, and help you navigate through the stresses and transitions that many people struggle with. You are not alone, and I am so glad that you are here. Some of my areas of focus are on addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, as well as family dynamics.

My practice offers multidimensional therapies for health and well-being. I focus on the dynamics of dysfunctional family systems resulting from chronic pain, chemical dependency, mental illness, domestic violence, veteran's issues, and PTSD. I work with individuals with co-occurring emotional and substance abuse issues, couples, families and groups, using solution-focused, narrative, and body-centered psychotherapies. I provide a safe place to explore reactions, thoughts, and feelings about yourself and your life and to explore how past experiences have shaped the ways you view yourself and the world around you.

I have years of experience working with individuals and families using evidence based approaches individually tailored to fit your needs. Hours: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 9am - 5pm.

The common misconception is that therapy is for "crazy" or "sick" people. Instead I believe it is a chance to work with clients on how to use their challenges as opportunities for change and growth. It is also a time to better understand our view of the world, examine any relationship issues, and become better versions of ourselves. I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.

Connection to others is the foundation of our wellness as humans. When you are feeling disconnected from important people in your life, you may feel disappointed, let down, feel you are not measuring up, or not feeling fully accepted or valued. You may be experiencing sadness, loneliness, anxiety, or anger. I may be the therapist for you if you are interested in addressing interpersonal communication, sexual health concerns, repairing connection, improving intimacy, exploring your sexuality, healing from trauma, addressing religious sexual shame, and various relational concerns.

Hi, All of us, at some point, experience painful life challenges or relationship difficulties that test our ability to cope. I believe the most important relationship in life as adults is with ourself and that this relationship informs all others and is essential in developing intimacy and close, long term connections with others. Therapy is a process of increasing one's self awareness allowing you to make choices of better coping methods ,more satisfying relationships , and a more fulfilling life. I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist --the last 22 years working in private practice in Bellevue.

Hello! Looking for a counselor is a big step - and I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the desired changes in your life. I do this using a combined approach of cognitive behavioral therapy, skill-building, mindfulness, and movement. As a social worker, I operate from a strengths-based approach that takes my clients' unique strengths & systems into account. Family, community, culture, school, and work are all parts of the big picture. My expertise is working with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and learning disabilities. I received my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree from the University of Tennessee.

I provide psychotherapy for adults. Issues include depression, anxiety, and coping with life stressors such as relationships, school, work, and parenting. My primary approach is cognitive-behavioral, focusing on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. I integrate a variety of approaches based on needs of the individual client. I believe in focusing on the strengths and resources of the client, and working in a collaborative partnership. The therapeutic relationship is most effective when the client feels that they are being treated in a respectful, nonjudgmental and compassionate manner.

"I'm tired. Tired of living in a relationship that is a lot of work with little reward. I've read books and gone to seminars but nothing changes. I don't want to be miserable, walking on eggshells to avoid fighting. I feel so alone and want the person I once was madly in love with to pay attention to me and look at me with love and admiration. Everywhere I turn there are demands and I just want peace. I can't see past the issues- and sometimes I don't even know what the "issue" is except we are both unhappy."

Our culture becomes more complex and chaotic over time and often results in stress, anxiety, depression, isolation and confusion. We often experience limited opportunity to be still and listen to ourselves. Our "symptoms" are often communication of the experience of our deeper selves in pain. Healing requires looking into our hearts and expanding our awareness of who are, both within ourselves as individuals and within our relationships. I offer a compassionate, safe, and hopeful place to reflect, and to seek help and healing. I am committed to providing effective, genuine, and meaningful help primarily to adults and teens.
