Bisexual Therapists in Issaquah, WA

I have always loved people and truly seek to understand others in a supportive and non judgmental way. I strive to help people heal and grow and to create healthy and rewarding relationships. I take a collaborative approach with clients. This might look like giving resources, citing research, listening and validating, or using a whiteboard to visually represent what is concerning you. You know yourself and your circumstances best. I am here to focus in on what might need changing, collaborate ideas on how to go about that, give homework where necessary, and give a nudge to help you grow.

I love working with LGBTQIAP+ clients and discussing any issues related to sexuality and gender. I am well-equipped in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, and/or emotion regulation issues. I enjoy working with adolescents and adult clients. I feel passionate about walking alongside folks through life transitions and hardships.

Sexuality and gender are woven into every aspect of our lives. Whether it is going through puberty, questioning gender or sexual orientation, figuring out dating, relating to a partner, exploring desire or alternative relationship models, or adapting to the changes of aging, sex therapy can help people navigate these challenges and build skills for improved health, pleasure, and connection. Sex therapy is very similar to other forms of mental health counseling, often focused on talking through your concerns, thoughts, and emotions. I see individuals, couples, constellations, and family groups.

I specialize in life transitions, trauma, improving parenting skills, and transitions in caregivers in foster care or adoptions. One of my particular passions and areas of expertise is supporting families through medical issues, whichever family member is diagnosed. I enjoy working with all families on improving communication and general functioning, as well as individually with tweens and teenagers to young adults as they transition to adulthood or struggle with a broad range of emotional struggles.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist committed to helping adults develop healthy coping skills, life satisfaction, and resilience. My work focuses on improving health behaviors, identifying negative thought and behavioral patterns, and committing to values that are important to you. Clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I am passionate about working with clients who are adjusting to life transitions, stress, depression, anxiety and coping with illness or pain.

As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation.  Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship.  The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

Hi there! I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, though the majority of my experience is with children and adolescents. I am passionate about working collaboratively with children/teens (ages 4+) and their parents to help each move towards growth and understanding of one another. In order to do this, it important to utilize strategies that are effective, compassionate, and respectful of the client's needs. Additionally, there needs to be a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and compassion. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques depending on the needs of each client.

Emotions, challenging thoughts, and difficult behaviors impact all areas of life: love, parenting, communication, friendship, school, and work. Approaching these areas of our life with courage and emotional agility can enhance our experiences and pave the way towards fulfilling relationships, more loving connections, and the strength to advocate for ourselves. Together. With courage.

It can take real courage to choose to explore beliefs, attitudes or behaviors which may have become barriers to achieving one's full potential. My priority is to support a more meaningful engagement in life and more satisfying relationships. I believe that each of us has the capacity for wellness and growth, and I offer a warm, relaxed and non-judgmental therapy environment and an objective perspective to facilitate understanding and change. With over twenty years of clinical experience to draw upon, I'm well-versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my work to each individual's unique goals, needs, and challenges.

Looking for a therapist is likely one of the last things you imagined you would be doing. Clients often don’t know what they need when we first meet. That’s OK. The death of a spouse/partner, family member or friend is life altering. The range of thoughts are endless: what am I going to do…life feels pointless…I’m grateful for the life we had…I don’t feel connected to anything…reminders are everywhere…I’m in a fog…when will this be over…I feel their presence...I died with them…I’m terrified (just to name a few). Death is disorienting and isolating. Please know "I get it".

When I was a girl there was no one to tell my deepest darkest secrets. My life's work is to be a trusted, healing person to those in pain. My therapy room is many things: a confessional, a delivery room, a crucible, a place of radical honesty with a whole lot of grace. Most of all it is a safe place for you to tell your story, to find strength and hope, to cry, and to heal. I embrace a holistic approach which considers your spirit, mind, body, & community.

I believe we all have natural strengths and resilience, and can overcome life's challenges to find peace, and even joy, in our lives and relationships. My goal is to create a safe, trusting, and supportive environment in which you can examine and clarify the issues that concern you, seek solutions, and create positive change and growth. I will learn from you - about who you are, and how you experience life, so I may fully respect your individuality and your unique life circumstances.

I offer counseling in a warm, relaxed, supportive , interactive environment. I have been a social worker for 48 years. I have practiced in many medical settings, hospitals, clinics, home health and hospice. I found I wanted to work more in-depth with people on the challenges they were currently facing in their, or their loved ones lives, and so I chose to go into private practice 36 years ago. I find it a privilege to walk with people on their lives' journeys and help them make changes in areas they may chose to do so in.

Positive change is the natural result of positive discovery, whether you seek individual, parental, or couples counseling; in my opinion, this process should be more fun than work. You are stronger and braver than you think!

I believe each problem is multi-faceted and can affect many different areas of a person’s life. I believe that each person has the insight and understanding of their lives and through collaboration and therapeutic alliance, clients can access their internal resources and experience change. My clients include those from the youngest ages to the elderly. As a certified health coach from the National Society of Health Coaching I am skilled at helping those with chronic illness and the resulting lifestyle changes.

I will work towards building your trust allowing you to feel free exposing your vulnerability. My goal is to help you manage emotional distress i.e. anxiety and depression as you navigate interpersonal relationships and work through life's difficult transitions - grief and loss, becoming a parent, job transition, separations and defining new boundaries.
