Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Bellevue, WA

I am passionate about helping people to promote well-being and to manage emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms. I enjoy using psychological theories and mind-body interventions to help children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds to improve their physical and mental health. I have helped people to reach their physical health goals, heal from trauma, make career and life transitions, grow in marriages and relationships, and build mood and anxiety management tools. My sessions focus on sharing information and skills to address your unique needs and life circumstances. We will develop a treatment plan together.

We are accepting new clients. I incorporate a range of evidence-based strategies from a person centered, trauma informed, and integrative lens to aid in meeting your unique needs. This means I aim to empower individuals to make their own choices about aims for therapy and the pace. This also means I avoid pathologizing behaviors and feelings that could be the result of a traumatic experience. I am passionate about setting the intention at every session that you are the expert of your own life and you are teaching me. I also set my intention to be non-judgmentally compassionate at each interaction.

I provide individual therapy for college students, young adults, and adults in Washington State (telehealth). I work with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, burnout, anxiety, depression, day-to-day stress, relationship difficulties, and those who are family planning. My goal is to create a calm, grounding, and safe environment for you to feel comfortable while working toward changing behavioral patterns that are inhibiting you from living your best life. I will help explore and heal the parts of you that may feel unaligned, and work to improve your relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I offer individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children (ages 10+). My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTSD, struggles with adjustment, as well as grief and bereavement.

My counseling approach is to first help you clarify your presenting problems from an integrated mind-body-spirit-environment perspective. I utilize mindfulness to help you to develop clarity in the present moment, and with depth psychology, psychodynamic, EMDR, art therapy, Jungian psychology, and focusing-oriented psychotherapy to help you explore and embrace your, SELF, inner wisdom, and unconscious awareness for healing. Through processing unhealed wounds in the past, we can unveil the authentic SELF, and finding life meanings to journey on.

How can we change and grow? SENSING anxiety, stress, fear, and knowing that "something" NEEDS to be addressed and made better is often the start to being more alive. Getting to a higher living and performance level; developing a balancing mindfulness ; solving complex problems; working toward life or career transitioning; and working with people who feel "stuck" and are looking for new direction are all parts of my focus as Coach. Comments I’ve received: "You really 'get' me." "I could not have handled this crisis without you." "You challenge me to do better, and hold me accountable." "Thank you for hearing me!" "Fabulous."

But also, a place where someone believes in them and can be an ally in their path to find their authentic self.
