Therapists in Bellevue, WA

When we make time to listen to our bodies and emotions, we begin to reconnect with our inherent wisdom. We don't lose touch with this wisdom on our own. Trauma, unhealed wounds, and oppressive systems disconnect us from our wisdom and intuition, and impact our ability to feel at ease. You and your body carry so much, from the grief and resilience of those who came before you, to the stress of everyday life, and each story of pain, joy, and survival that has led you to seek care. It is normal to experience overwhelm, anxiety, disruption, and depression while carrying so much. You weren't meant to carry it all on your own.

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.

You’re here. Which means you are probably feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviors, thoughts, or emotions. Or maybe you're struggling in your relationships. Or struggling with inattentiveness or difficulty focusing. My philosophy is simple: you are not broken, only impacted by the experiences of your life. My job is to be a guide as we explore the your experiences, so that we can begin to integrate the past into the present, and begin to heal. I believe everyone longs to live a meaningful, full life. I know reaching out can be difficult to do, and I’m so glad you’re taking this step to begin this work.

Life is about transitions, changing and growing in ways we don’t expect, don’t understand, and sometimes don’t enjoy very much, nonetheless always striving to become something more than we are right now. I’ve experienced many transitions in fifty years of life, and I’ve come to realize that we are going to change some kind of way. The greatest question is will we let life sweep us along, or will we choose to aim for a destination, collecting stories and wisdom – and yes, more than a few scars – as we go?

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.

You are trying so hard but it never seem good enough; You are exhausted but can’t seem to rest; You’ve tried to find peace but you can’t seem to quiet your mind; You feel like you are always letting someone down; You catch yourself asking “what is the point”. You want to feel at ease with yourself; You want to feel enough without having to be perfect; You want to feel connected with your loved ones; You want to feel in control of your life; You want to feel present in important moments; You want to find joy and passion once again.

I am a Gottman Certified (Level 1 & 2) Therapist. I believe that change happens when people are provided with a safe place to better understand their problems and learn how to best move forward. I aim to create a space with openness, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I see the therapy process as collaborative, I am the professional and my clients are the experts of their lives. I enjoy working with couples, and adults struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, grief, queer-related problems, and life-transitions. I am sex-positive, queer-affirming and trans-affirming, and kink and polyam affirming.

I’m a Couples Therapist and Individual Therapist as well as the Co-founder of The Wellness Collective Therapy Group. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Neuroscience. Through a collaborative approach, I work with clients to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Together, we explore thoughts and feelings surrounding sex and relationships, while ensuring a supportive environment for growth.

You don’t have to hold big things on your own. I help take off some of the burden that humans carry. The best part of my job is sitting with people through both challenging and exciting times in their lives. I enjoy helping clients work through complex trauma, including medical trauma; women’s health and LGBTQIA+ well-being; couples and non-traditional relationships; and anyone who finds it challenging to live in a neurotypical world. Together we will dismantle external forces that impact how you move through the world and discover and embrace each chapter in your story that makes you uniquely you.

Need a place where you are confident knowing that you will be respected and not judged? Whatever life experience you have had thus far, you can expect I will work to provide a space of comfortability where you can process these complex issues presenting in your life. I base my therapeutic approach on the needs of each client. Each individual has unique ways of processing their mental health, so collaboratively, we will develop methods that best fit you. During sessions you can expect that we will focus on the concerns that you have and help you understands the root of those issues.

Self-awareness and self-understanding are important for success in the therapeutic journey. A thorough, strength-based, and holistic psychological assessment can provide young people and their families with much desired clarity, validation, and direction. A psychological assessment can inform school-based and academic intervention, psychological treatment, and pharmacological intervention as needed. Many families have youth who have struggled through school, are overwhelmed by stress, and/or have had interpersonal conflict. I help families make sense of their child or teen's unique circumstances and get them the right support.

Hi, fellow journeyers! I am an mixed Indigenous (Mohawk/Metís) & white (Swedish/Scottish) male who walks the sacred journey of mental and emotional healing with others in the Seattle area. My first priority is to get to know you, understand your current situation, and support your goals for therapy. Our therapeutic relationship will be characterized by respect and confidentiality. It is my greatest honor to walk the healing path with people. Our lives are the context for a myriad of great joy and sorrow. I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey of bringing healing to the sorrow and cultivating the joy.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting task. My hope is to provide a safe and comforting environment where you can just be, without the judgment or criticism. I counsel those who identify as women, those who identify as members of LGBTQIA+ community (many of which are one in the same), and teens ages 13-17. My clients have a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, anger, relationship troubles, depression, sexual identity, cultural identity, and self esteem.

Are you someone who is looking to improve their daily functioning and overall quality of life? Are you seeking help with communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation? You may be struggling with anxiety or depression, difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, or finding a fulfilling career. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to develop strategies and tools to help them better navigate the world around them and achieve their individual goals. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I aim to empower my clients to become more confident, independent, and fulfilled individuals.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in patterns, having the same fights with your partner over and over? Do you sometimes feel alone in your relationship or like you've become more like roommates than lovers? These feelings can be discouraging and isolating, but you are not alone. I empower partners to navigate these common challenges in a way that gets to the heart of the matter. Together we work to co-create a new experience of each other, with more authenticity and intimacy. You are capable of achieving what we all want and need- to love and be loved, to experience joy and connection, and to live a life with purpose and meaning.

Hurts from past experiences can create emotional and mental roadblocks that can keep us from achieving the quality of life and relationships we long for. If the problems in your life are causing you to feel anxious, stuck or alone there is hope. Therapy can offer the support and tools to help you heal, learn and grow so you can overcome the challenges in your life. I believe that developing healthy self-esteem and secure relationship bonds are key to emotional and mental well-being. I work with teens, couples and adults to build on their strengths and improve their relationship with self and others.

I strive to always bring my own sense of authenticity to every session as I believe that therapy at its core is successful due to the relationship between clinician and client. As your therapist I will promise to be consistently present, challenge you gently but firmly when you need me to, and to empathetically and truly care about what you have to say. I have fourteen years of experience in the mental health field addressing issues ranging from depression and anxiety to substance use to feelings around gender and sexuality. I work with individuals and families but also have a strong passion working with couples and relationships
