Women's Issues Therapists in Bellevue, WA

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

I work with adults who are experiencing challenges in life that are impacting their relationships, health, sleep, work, and recreation. Some of those challenges include anxiety, depression, past traumatic experiences (PTSD), panic attacks, grief/loss, creating healthy boundaries, and settling into any number of life's transitions. I specialize in women's issues and trauma work. It is important that you feel safe and empowered in the work we do together. Let's untangle things, create a plan, and work toward growth and empowerment.

At Paws To Connect Counseling, LLC we uniquely focus on the intersection of mental health and the human-animal bond as a part of therapy.
