Therapists in Wilburton, Bellevue, WA

My aim is to help folks get to the bottom of their concerns, and to support them in making meaningful changes in their lives. Sometimes we have the sense that something is not quite right, even if we cannot pinpoint what exactly it is. Other times we may want to get out of our heads and feel more present. Whatever your concern, I am here to support you in discerning what it is that’s in the way from allowing you to live the life you want to live. Together, you and I will work to identify and unpack your lived experiences and the values that inform where it is you want to go.

12.2023 - Accepting waitlist clients. Are you here because you feel overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or overly anxious? Perhaps you have experienced a major change in your life that makes the day-to-day harder than it ever was before. My gentle approach can assist with issues of depression, stress, and anxiety as a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed psychodynamically oriented therapist, helping you bring back joy into your relationships and your life. Our work together will guide you to sort through challenges and obstacles to find a greater sense of well-being and satisfaction in your life.

Stuck in a pattern that's no longer serving you? I offer neurofeedback treatments that can break you out of maladaptive cycles (anxiety, pain, depression, etc) in as little as one session. Whether you've been stuck for a couple of weeks or a few decades, you can expect to feel more energy, motivation, and focus, a stabilized mood, reduction in pain, better sleep, and/or fewer social barriers. These treatments are safe and effective for any age group and can also optimize athletic, school, or work performance.

Acceptance might be the first step to change, but change is hard. I aim to create a supportive, holistic, empowering, and safe setting to process and understand what is specifically challenging for you. Often, my clients feel like they “don’t belong,” stuck in unwanted behaviors or looking to understand themselves better. I believe by attuning compassionately to our bodies and minds, as well as each other, we can sense what needs to change and heal. Also, I consider myself a very real person in the therapy space, which often includes understanding, laughter, radical acceptance, forgiveness, and open and honest communication.

My belief is that counseling is a journey we travel together. Our first step is to define where you want to go – discovering the reasons that you have chosen to meet with me at this point in your life. We will also identify your strengths, what’s working well in your life, and the things that can be changed to get you to your destination. My goal is to work myself out of a job as you develop the skills and tools that you can use in the present and the future to have the life that you desire.
