Anxiety Therapists in Bayside, Everett, WA

Psychology works because it is a way to help people understand their problems and correct or change so that they can live more healthy or satisfying lives. Many people come for therapy if they are experiencing problems with depression, anxiety or relationship issues. Some other common problems that I help treat are problems with work injuries, sleep, weight, stress, trauma, and sexual problems. These problems can be greatly helped through therapy. I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting each individual’s needs rather than using one form of treatment.

Therapies that focus on brain change, heal symptoms more rapidly and get to the deepest part of the issue. I work from a positive perspective that is both challenging and supportive simultaneously. Some people come to me to grow in areas of peak performance and others come to break free from the gridlock they experience in their significant relationships. Many people are stuck in a depressive or anxious cycle that doesn't allow them to be authentic in how they engage the world. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I love it.

I provide a strength-based approach to help you process, identify sustainable coping skills for stress and anxiety reduction, and develop assertive communication skills in order to set boundaries and find a more balanced approach going forward.

Our uncertain times has likely increased stress and the “What if’s” into your or a loved one’s life. The constant change and uncertainty can foster stress and other emotional reactions. This may look/feel like feeling isolated, frightful, irritable, outraged, sad, guilt or even exhibiting maladaptive behaviors (e.g., substance use, risky behaviors, eating habits, sleeping habits, etc.). While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, having a harm-reduction approach, focusing more on what we can control and less on what we can’t, decreasing stress, reducing your triggers and focusing on our strengths and supports can help.

Pursuing optimal intimacy improves your mental and physical health. I am an experienced therapist who is direct, affirming and effective in helping couples and individuals 'do what works' in and out of the bedroom. This requires facing and dealing with what holds you back, shuts you down, turns you off and intimidates you--in order to potentially open you up, draw you closer, and strengthen your bonds of authentic love. In our dynamic therapeutic process, you can also learn how to become irresistibly desirable and pursuable (once again)! The lovers' dance is born anew. I work with individuals and couples. Let's connect.

Therapy is an opportunity to renegotiate your relationship with yourself and important others in your life.
