Therapists in Kent, WA

As an LMFTA working with couples and families, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I prioritize understanding the unique dynamics and needs of each relationship, and work collaboratively with my clients to identify and address the root causes of any issues or conflicts. My goal is to empower my clients to build stronger and healthier relationships, and to develop the communication and problem-solving skills necessary to maintain these relationships over time.

A lot of people come for therapy because they are not feeling good. This might be from a trauma or a difficult life changing event, or they haven’t been feeling good or something isn’t right in that moment. Therapy can be an eye opening to these aspects and a place to address what concerns you to improve your life. There are always two sides for life. You could be wonderful enjoying your life and it still could be struggling. It’s okay not to be okay. Sometimes all we need is someone to really understand what’s going on and listen to us.

If you are a person who is willing to put the work in, ready to be vulnerable in the process, and wants a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, I am here for you. I have experience in dealing with depression, anxiety, and multicultural issues. I also have experience with teenagers and young adults dealing with different life transitions and acculturative stress. I am bilingual in English and Arabic, and want to help you express yourself in the language you feel most comfortable in.

I blend traditional, evidence-based practices with holistic practices, such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga (and a touch of humor!), to guide you on a path toward self-healing and understanding. I specialize in helping you manage feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety. I also provide executive function, self-regulation, and social skills support related to ADHD, autism, and other related challenges. Along with patient care, I work with parents and caretakers of children with disabilities to help them overcome everyday challenges, navigate the intricacies of special education, and discuss how to best support their child.

As a systems therapist, I consider the many contexts involved in making each person’s experience unique and tailor treatment approaches to my client’s unique needs. I center my work around reauthoring narratives and creating new meanings. If you are curious about your emotions' messages and like to dive deep, uncover the underlying patterns, and explore new ways of connecting, I may be the therapist you are looking for. I specialize in relationship strengthening, intimacy/vulnerability, desire discrepancy, life transitions/parenting, attachment ruptures, multicultural relationships, sexual identity, polyamory/ENM, and guilt/shame.

My approaches are client centered, solution focused and strength based. I utilize processes that are interactive, collaborative and holistic. I honor each clients unique healing journey and guide them through self-compassion and self-care.

Accepting Couples and Individuals at this time - Are you struggling with boundaries, expectations that are self-imposed, exhaustion and feeling "not enough"? If you are having difficulty navigating your relationships, parenting, life transitions - there is a way for you to orient back to yourself so you can make decisions from a place of clarity and find more connection and meaning in your life. Whether you're trying to connect better within or with others - It’s hard to remember who you are in when you are burning from both ends of the candle. Contact me to further your connection with your body, with others & relationships.

We are a collective of comprehensively trained, client-centered, and value-focused therapists who have a sincere interest in helping people improve connection to themselves, their sexuality, and their relationships with others. Our values reflect who we are as individuals and as a collective, where inclusivity is paramount, diversity is celebrated, and our work considers the needs of those we serve.

Many of us seek therapy at different periods of our lives for different reasons, such as couple and family conflicts, losing loved ones, life transition issues, addiction, sadness, anxiety, and depression. We sometimes may not figure out what we are going through. Unknowns and uncertainties may increase in our lives and become unmanageable, or we are unable to fulfill our search for meaning. Therapy helps us cope with difficult and painful emotions, figure out what we are going through, and name it. Carl Rogers defines growth as any kind of movement toward “self-esteem, flexibility, or respect and compassion for self and others."

We often think we are alone, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or even depressed, but we are not alone. Many people experience mental health stressors. Mental health is a state of well-being in which individuals understand their abilities, cope with life's everyday stresses, work productively and abundantly, and contribute to their community. At Soulful Journey Therapy, we are here to help. We aim to provide a safe and therapeutic place to process your emotions, mindfulness stress reduction, and cognitive-behavioral and existential theories.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.
