"Life leaves us feeling stuck, anxious, confused and alone. Instead of living, you are just surviving, life does not have to be survived, it can be lived with freedom. You learned how to be in this world through relationship, and it is through a safe relationship that new ways of relating are created. I am committed to creating a safe place to work with individuals to regain a sense of fullness and purpose for their lives"

"If you are struggling with multiple complex issues and haven't been able to figure out where to start or which end is up, we can work together to figure out how it all connects and which pieces to address or take action upon. I appreciate the interconnections between physical health issues, mental health issues, relationship struggles and even addiction complications and finding paths to improve overall health and wellness that work for you. At our initial appointment, I will take some basic history, learn more about your current situation and discuss what your goals are for therapy or help to define them if you're not sure yet. "

"You might be here looking for a professional to talk with because you are feeling depressed or anxious or you are having difficulties in your relationships. You might find it hard to feel an adequate sense of motivation, direction, or meaning in your life. Maybe you've talked with friends or family but you continue to feel stuck in your unsatisfying emotions and relationship patterns. I believe that therapy offers a unique place for gaining a deeper understanding of your difficulties by reflecting on who you are, your thoughts and feelings, and your life history and experience."

"I want to recognize the courage it has taken you to begin the search for counseling as you face something unsettling that is occurring in your life or the life of a loved one.

"Self-improvement. Relationship issues. Anxiety. Depression. Unhelpful thoughts or behaviors. These are some of the concerns that bring people, just like you, to my counseling practice. I value and work with the strengths, imperfections, gifts, genetics, history and humanity of each person or family, as these aspects inform and shape who we are. I support clients in identifying a values-based direction for positive change and explore both what motivates change and the barriers that are getting in the way. Together, we create a road map to a healthier life for you or your family."

"----------------------------------------Bellevue location is currently full-----------------------------------------------The stressors of day to day tasks can drown out the voice that may have deeper connection to your intuitive and wiser self.

My hope is to provide an empathic environment to explore and challenge some of the barriers, often self-created, keeping you from your goals. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families. "

"I work to create a safe and trustworthy relationship with young adults, adult individuals, and partnerships in all areas of distress or life transition. My lifelong passion for story fuels my desire to know you and discover your unique manner of relating to and being in the world. In the face of struggles inherent to the human condition, we all develop creative coping strategies. Those strategies, while useful for a time, all too often end up becoming patterns that limit our ability to live the lives we envision for ourselves."

"Although I help people working through a wide range of issues and symptoms, I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and life transitions. I love helping clients detach from the unnecessary barriers placed by society, family, or themselves so they can start living the life they've always wanted. It's important to me that my clients feel heard, validated, challenged, and that our therapeutic relationship is collaborative. I value providing for my clients an experience that feels tailored to their needs."

"My practice specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety and mood disorders. I provide individual treatment for adults and late adolescents. My goal is to provide individualized, compassionate, effective, evidence-based treatment for individuals with anxiety and mood disorders.

"St Augustine once wrote “People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.” Life asks a lot today. Our children need help with homework. Our jobs need us to produce more, our parents need us as age diminishes their abilities. After everything, one is left to wonder not at themselves, but at where all the time went?"

"The ache for a place to belong is a very human experience. Maybe your life looks fine on the outside but you feel uprooted, isolated, lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected inside and to the relationships in your life. Perhaps you are yearning for a space to show up as you are with all the messiness and complexities you feel. There is no shame in asking for help or giving yourself the chance and space to process the hard feelings that are within you. It actually takes a lot of courage."

"I believe we are all naturally oriented toward growth and have an innate capacity for healing. Various life experiences and circumstances can lead to losing a sense of our core selves or experiencing emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy is a process to support you in making the changes you desire in your life - through increasing self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-compassion. In therapy, you will be supported to learn about and explore your present-moment experience, and to try out new ways of relating to yourself and others, with the aim of integrating these new perspectives and behaviors into your life."

"Sorry, I'm not currently accepting new clients. When depression, anxiety,relationship problems, or current and past trauma are affecting your life, finding a counselor who "fits" you can be an additional challenge. My approach begins with establishing a relationship of trust with you as the foundation of working together to find a path through life's difficulties. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful and accepting space in which you can move, with your own wisdom, toward healing, growth, or change. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds: teens, adults, couples and families in Spanish or English."
