Therapists in Bellevue, WA

I come to the therapy room with extensive training and experience. I have worked in both top rated healthcare organizations with adults and their families as well treatment centers for children and adolescents. I truly enjoy working with people throughout the lifespan. In addition, I have extensive background working with physicians and nurses navigating the myriad of stressors that come with working in healthcare. I have a unique understanding of what it means to work on the front lines - whether we are the leader during a crisis, the primary emotional support person in our family or the head of an organization.

Helping couples connect is my specialty. Do you sometimes feel alone in your relationship? Does it seem like your partner does not understand you, and no matter how hard you try it seems like you end up in the same fight over and over again? Has that sense of being close and connected changed to feeling more distant and roommate like? If you're ready to reclaim your relationship back from the negative patterns that keep you stuck, I am here to help.

You've been through difficult times and are having trouble moving forward with hope and joy. You likely need a blend of coping skills to help you through the day-to-day as well as in-session techniques (like EMDR or Brainspotting) to help to process what's happened to you in a more settled way. Many of my clients have had traumatic relationships, eating disorders, difficult losses or are struggling with current relationships.

Are you going through a particularly difficult time? Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Maybe you have experienced a loss of a relationship or are adjusting to significant changes in your life? Whether the difficulties are past or recent traumas, losses, conflicts in relationships with self or others, I help my clients move toward growth and change. I provide a warm, accepting environment to assist individuals in facing difficult challenges, finding strength and identifying more choices for themselves and their lives.

I am currently not accepting new clients - You have big dreams and big goals. You hold yourself to a high standard and are harder on yourself than anyone else. Others may not understand the weight of your role or the fears and challenges that come with it. Perhaps you have performed while carrying the heavy burdens of past traumas, pain, and loss. Do you feel unable to show up and live the way you want to at work or home? Does finding a work-life balance feel impossible? Do you look at others and wonder how they are doing it? I believe you deserve to heal from trauma and engage with what is truly important to you!

People seek therapy for many reasons. Sometimes, a feeling of overwhelm or crisis dominates. Alternately, one may feel "stuck" in one's life -- trapped in long-standing patterns. In our work together, we will address the issues bringing you to therapy and uncover the larger dynamics which are influencing the situations at hand.

I love to aid individuals, couples and LGBTQ+ relationships, and families with achieving the change they desire through a tailored and integrative approach. It is a privilege to see my clients flourish through treatment and to provide a safe, nonjudgemental space where self-discovery and personal growth can be achieved through a strong therapeutic relationship.

I believe that every human being has the right to move towards their hopes and dreams to achieve the best quality of life and all it has to offer.
