"I believe that people are already whole and that what we perceive as our brokenness usually comes from some kind of disconnection from ourselves and other people. Anxiety, depression, a general feeling of loneliness or feeling unloveable, all these stem from these disconnections. I value and honor each person's individual experiences and needs, acknowledging that many of us lose our sense of our uniqueness along life's path. I hope to help you learn more about your self-worth in the face of previous relationships, families, and systems that have told you you aren't good enough."

"I work with individuals, couples, and families. Counseling is an art form.... the art of listening, the ability to create visual understanding of deeply embedded meaning regarded as truth vs. constructions. Healing begins when a client feels safe enough to deconstruct and replace maladaptive beliefs and behaviors. Integrating new perspectives and a fresh understanding of old stories is a means to sustainable change - a gift of self acceptance. As a therapeutic guide, I believe that each of us is the best source of our own healing....I am there to facilitate what is already true and wise in each client."

"You are a high performer who is stuck & looking for outside help. You want to have a secure & loving relationship. You want to heal from past hurts, connect with your inner compass & shift towards healthier ways of living. In couples counseling, my husband & I work as a team to help couples grow together. As former high tech & legal professionals, we understand how work demands can impact your quality of life. As parents, we get how children are both a joy & a stressor in relationships. As an intercultural couple, we recognize the challenges in bridging different world views."

"If you suffer from anxiety, you should consider seeing a specialist - someone who focuses on anxiety exclusively and who can provide a comprehensive approach to your treatment. This is important for two reasons. First, one-size-fits-all approaches to therapy attempt to be as inclusive as possible and inevitably end up dumbing things down and glossing over much of the relevant complexity. Anxieties are at least as complex as those who have them."

"You are a go-getter. You're the type of woman who knows she is capable of her dreams, but for a number of reasons, you're not taking them seriously. You know you need healing. You need connection. You need understanding, and purpose. But you feel a lack of motivation lately. Or honestly, you're just really stressing out. How about starting to do the things that get you vibrationally in alignment with who you really are? Can you see yourself getting where you most sincerely want to go? Or is there something in the way??"

"Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do relationships in your life feel challenging? Does it feel overwhelming sometime? We all need a help sometimes with what life serves us. Parts of us are working really hard to keep us afloat, while other parts seem to sabotage our every move. I believe that we are all trying to do our best. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for us to collaborate as we explore these parts of you, and find a path to a happier more fulfilling life."

"You're probably seeking therapy because something has become overwhelming or unmanageable. This emotional experience is often linked with a life event -- a challenging relationship, a significant loss, or a life transition -- and you may find yourself yearning for someone to help you navigate it. In psychotherapy we see this presenting issue as an access point to a deeper, internal struggle. We explore these places together with the eventual goal of lessening your distress not by changing your circumstances, but by changing how you relate to yourself."

"As a Christian I believe our faith and relationship with God are at the very center of how we experience our life, identity, and purpose and therefore how we view ourselves and interact with others. The Bible teaches that at the core our individual and relationship struggles are results of our sinful hearts and an imperfect relationship with God. The only way to true and lasting change is through a redeemed relationship with God and His continuing work in us to transform our hearts. As children of God we find value and purpose in Christ, shaping our identity and relationships."

"We all encounter situations that feel overwhelming and test our coping abilities. I see therapy as a collaborative process that will help you navigate the challenges and transitions that life presents. I offer a safe, supportive environment to talk about issues that can be difficult to discuss elsewhere. Together we will explore how certain thoughts, behavior patterns, and past experiences might be contributing to your difficulties. We will identify your strengths and figure out effective coping strategies to create positive changes in your life. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and couples."

"My treatment approach to working with clients on the path to growth and healing is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Object Relations, and Family Systems theories. While treating the conditions that develop overtime such as anxiety and depression, I believe it is also equally important to explore the deeper underlying emotional/relational needs in an individual's life that have impacted their lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families to overcome barriers that prevent them from living the lives that they both desire and deserve."

"Currently accepting new clients in my Bellevue office (free parking) on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I work with clients ages 18 and older from a variety of diverse backgrounds. I specialize in working with past trauma, narcissistic abuse, neglect, grief, anxiety, depression, an unhappy family life, everyday stressors, secondary trauma (especially for caregivers).

"Accepting, understanding, and managing your emotions is not easy. Whether stress, depression, or "life" is taking over your daily functioning, we will identify and take steps towards your goals. In addition to traditional talk therapy my specialization in movement therapy can also help you discover and explore the complex being that is you. Through this alternative type of personal expression I merely provide the safe space and contain any movement and/or verbal reflections that you share with me in therapy. I work well with children ages 2-5, middle-schoolers, adults, and couples. F2F & online sessions available."

"Therapy is about diving deep into those places where we get stuck and find conflict both internal and external. I often work with folks who see life as driven by how they experience life acting on them versus how they can engage it differently. It takes commitment and courage to become self-aware and actively ask and act on what they want different from life. I seek to provide a space for clients to be real and authentic. I help folks rewrite internal narratives to achieve the life and relationships they want. I offer therapy in both English & Spanish."

"Life bring challenges to all of us. I am Passionately committed to providing emotional support and tools to my clients. I use an integrated approach that I feel moves beyond talk therapy to create lasting change. My background in education provided me with an extensive understanding of human development and the phases of life and transitions we can encounter. The struggles we find ourselves in can over time bring us closer to the life we truly want to create for ourselves."

"I know it can be difficult to allow another person into the most problematic areas of your life. That is why I take great care to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment for every client. In my work with individuals, I work with my clients as a trusted confidant, partner in problem-solving, and empathetic witness to their lives. I believe we all have the potential to lead balanced and fulfilling lives. For many, therapy is helpful in establishing this type of life. Issues commonly addressed include anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal difficulties, difficult transitions, identity exploration, and grief."

"Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with makes the work of therapy easier and more productive. I try to help recognize and name the solutions which thankfully have helped us deal with the troubling events we have made it through. But those solutions- such as avoidance, doing too much for others and too little for ourselves, or over-focusing on work- can become entrenched and now get in the way of feeling at ease or fulfilled. Learning and trying new solutions helps us step away from these patterns. Let's see if we can accomplish something together."

"I am a psychologist who believes that if something isn't working, try something different! I try to create an atmosphere for growth that is warm, kind and challenging.

Whether the issues are emotional, relational or social, you'll find a safe place to do the necessary work to grow."
