Therapists in King County, WA

I work with people dealing with emotional problems that manifest as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. The encounters with emotions seem powerful, overwhelming, and mysterious. They may feel so powerful, that you push away, stuff down, use substances, or even allow the emotions to direct your actions and thoughts. It can feel confusing of how you can build strength to overcome emotional wounds. How do you make sense of what doesn’t always make sense? Exploring your emotions with a therapist can be healing and encouraging.

I connect with my clients on whatever level they walk in my door at and together we build a path to a more ideal way of being and living. I have a wide array of therapy techniques and coping strategies I use to connect, teach and guide my clients. I have worked with many individuals with different presenting concerns and issues. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to be vulnerable with themselves and with me as a witness, so that we together can move forward at the pace and in the direction that is right for them.

Life presents us with many challenges, but I strongly believe we all can navigate those challenges and overcome some of the depression, anxiety and other symptoms that life can cause. We will work together on understanding why you are feeling some of the emotions that you are experiencing. It can be helpful to understand how you fit into your interpersonal relationships including those with children, significant others, parents, work, etc. Understanding our roles and how we function in those roles can help to navigate change.

As a therapist, I believe that to have a successful counseling experience it is critical that you feel fully listened to and understood. I use careful listening and reflecting to join with you to address what is most important to you. I have a compassionate, empathetic style which I believe is essential for us to move forward as we discuss what is troubling you. I have helped many clients deal with a variety of difficult relationship issues, relocation, work / life stress, divorces and abuse. I ensure that you are fully understood and attain the support you need to deal with life’s difficulties.

I offer services for: Individuals, ages 18+, as well as those with court mandated treatment I do not offer: Crisis Coverage or Case Management Services

As a psychotherapist I believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment for people to feel and express their emotions and dialogue about their realities. Meeting the client where they are at and working together to build insight and awareness towards creating a more fulfilled life is my main goal in therapy. I assist clients who are facing a wide range of issues including: suicidal ideation, grief and loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, and spiritual concerns in taking steps towards healing.

Now accepting new clients. Being human is a messy experience. It’s full of the ache to be cherished, to be loved, to feel a sense of belonging. While riddled with inevitable grief, loss, and suffering. It takes courage to love again even in our awareness of the potential heartbreak, to show up in the world as ourselves, to be vulnerable in fear of rejection, and move towards the things we fear. If you are facing sadness, anxiety, trauma, dependence, finding & contacting a therapist may be just as daunting a process! You are already closer to living your fullest life and truest self by acknowledging you need to look for a therapist!

My purpose in life is to have a positive impact on people's lives. It brings me tremendous joy to uplift people around me. As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping my clients on their journey to live their lives to their full potential. I am committed to showing up and supporting my clients to learn about themselves, heal, and grow. Together, we can discover what it is that holds you back and no longer serves you. We will explore how to redirect your energy to harvest more joy, purpose, and fulfillment in your life.

Have you ever experienced conflict in your family, the type of conflict that is always happening and gets shoved under the rug and never dealt with? Are you currently going through a separation or have recently been through a divorce? Do you have children/adolescents that have behavioral issues? If you have experienced any of these situations I would love to work with you, help you see that family reconciliation/restoration is possible, that there is life after divorce, there can be freedom from anxiety and your children can learn new ways to behaviorally function better.

I work with a wide array of mental health concerns. Including, ADHD, self-harm, defiance, OCD, suicidality, self-harm, emotion regulation, depression, and anxiety. The majority of my career has been spent working in an emergency department and inpatient hospital setting. As an outpatient therapist, I combine these skills with additional therapeutic interventions to complete your treatment goals.
