I work with people navigating the ups and downs of life, with a particular focus on pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. Adding a baby to your family can be tender, transformative and far more challenging than people expect. People sometimes feel numb, anxious, overwhelmed, teary, angry, fearful and like their world has been turned upside down. These experiences are common, treatable and deeply deserving of support. Whether you are trying to decide if parenthood is right for you, grieving through infertility, or deep in the throes of parenting many children, I’d be honored to work with you.

At its core, I believe therapy is an opportunity to process and understand our past while also growing into the people we want to be. Life can be so brutal and complicated; we deserve a safe place to talk and explore! I believe that life throws us curve balls and everyone, at times, needs some assistance in learning to cope effectively. It is so vital to recognize that you have incredible value and are capable of conquering your hardships. I strive to maintain a safe, comforting, and trusting environment to do that exploring.

I am in-network with LifeWise and Premera Blue Cross.
Finding a therapist who truly gets you can feel impossible. As a Black and Native queer therapist, Jas gets it. At Fragile Therapy, Jas (any pronouns) works with both the vulnerable and the resilient parts of you in order to expand and sustain your capacity to build the joy and connection you yearn for. Drawing from decolonial, disability justice, and Black feminist frameworks that affirm life and relational care over hyper-individualism, Jas aims to empower every client to recognize, be accountable to, and savor their unique gifts, and yes - their fragilities, too.

I believe in tailoring the therapy to meet each client's individual needs. I primarily use psychodynamic therapy which helps the client gain self-insight but also use a variety of therapeutic techniques including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral methods. Being able to stand back from one's self and gain perspective about one's personality, choices and actions are important in helping an individual work through issues. I help the client explore what issues from the past or present may be contributing to depression or anxiety.

The clients I work with want someone who can sit with them and witness the deep, vulnerable and sometimes unexpected places that loss and trauma can take us. They want someone who throws out cultural constraints on what grief/loss is expected to look like, to accept them as they are and believe in their ability to heal.

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, LMFTA
Burien, WA 98166
Healing starts when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I offer services to individuals, couples, and families and aim to honor your unique story, values, and strengths. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and begin rewriting the parts of your story that no longer serve you—creating space for resilience, hope, and growth. Whether you’re working through relationship challenges, family dynamics, identity questions, or personal transitions, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space. Your sessions with me will be tailored to your unique needs and goals—because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Counselor, LMHC, CMHS
Burien, WA 98166
Life can feel overwhelming when emotions run deep and relationships become strained. Anxiety, depression, and past wounds can make it hard to connect with others and find peace within yourself. I believe in the healing that happens when we share our stories and experiences with one another in order to grieve the past, accept the present, and voice hope for the future. We will explore how your past impacts your relationships and current life circumstances. I will work with you, your children, or your family to develop coping skills and self-compassion, approaching our work with empathy and care.

Hi there, I'm Mandy! As an Empath, I utilize my radiant energy and insight to connect with those cultivating their authentic self. I enjoy being a gentle guide and empathic witness for people on their journey of being more expansive, awakened, and connected to their whole being. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic Approach to gently rewiring patterns - shifting perception through the lens of neuroplasticity. Then I begin gently weaving in Somatic Mindfulness combined with a trauma-informed lens to heal from the inside out.

You’re thoughtful, capable, and probably used to being the dependable one, the problem solver, or the person everyone counts on. From the outside, life looks pretty functional. Internally, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or wondering why things you know how to handle are taking so much out of you. You’ve probably tried to solve some of this already. Maybe you’ve worked harder, set goals, learned coping skills, or spent a lot of time trying to understand why you feel or react the way you do. But something still isn’t adding up. You know something needs to change; you’re just not sure what—or where to start.

As a systemic therapist, I believe in the exploration of all cultural and societal messages, norms, and values that have shaped my clients into who they are today. Making the brave decision to begin therapy is often preceded by many obstacles and challenges, and it is important to me to take the necessary time to walk through clients' stories and reflect on their experiences. I work to create a safe, trusting, and open environment where my clients and I can exchange constructive feedback. I believe that the therapy room is a space for emotional vulnerability, reflection, and growth.

Are you feeling "stuck", disconnected, or having trouble with stressors in your life? When we are stuck it changes the way we think about ourselves and how we view the world around us. This can lead to feeling disconnected. Every person can experience blind spots in the narrative they tell themselves, this can create challenges in our relationships with our "favorite people." I invite you, your partner, or children a safe space to reconnect with yourself and / or those around you. Together we will work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote healing. I am accepting new clients and work with Mindful Therapy Group.

Do you feel stuck, even though you’re doing all the “right” things? Often, how we show up in the world reflects how we learned to survive in it. Deep down, we all want to feel seen, heard, and valued—but beliefs that we’re unworthy or “not enough” can leave us anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll begin to notice, challenge and heal those old messages so you can reconnect with your most authentic, grounded self. Our work is about returning home to yourself—to a place of authenticity, self-compassion, and connection—so you can move through life with greater ease, confidence, and a renewed sense of belonging.

When we feel that we belong to the world, then we can move through it with confidence and courage, open to growth and happiness. There are plenty of things to worry about as a kid, and today’s culture does not necessarily make it easier. But children do not have to go at it alone! Feelings of despair, loneliness, and inauthenticity are completely normal for many kids and young adults. No one lives alone with these feelings, even though it may feel this way. Through a genuine counseling relationship, kids can begin to believe much deeper in their strengths than in their shortcomings.
