Therapists in Lynnwood, WA

There are times in all of our lives when problems arise. Some are easily managed and others are not. Individual therapy involves working on a one-on-one basis with a therapist to plan and to create positive changes in your life. People come for therapy for a number of different reasons including treatment for depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, dissatisfaction with life, alcohol abuse, resolving past trauma, feelings of emptiness, abuse and stress management. Additionally, ongoing therapy is a common and useful means for self-growth. A therapist needs to be a good 'fit' and I believe that trust is earned and sacred.

I work to best understand your perspective, provide empathetic listening, and teach skills to build resiliency against depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work from the perspective that we are influenced and impacted by the people and situations in our lives. Understanding how these relationships affect us helps us to better understand our behavior and allow for positive growth. I believe that through working together, each individual/family can develop skills that promote living a meaningful, healthy, and purpose-filled life. I have a unique understanding and awareness of varying cultural perspectives that influence our lives.

I enjoy helping others by empowering and supporting them through their journey in life. It is inspirational to see how resilient and strong humans can be when faced with adversity.

Most of my experience is with depression, anxiety, substance usage, family relationship, and trauma.

Are you feeling that things are bleak and hopeless? Are you struggling with the reminders of difficult experiences in your past? Or maybe you are living with a chronic illness that has lowered your quality of life. We all feel the pull not only to survive but to thrive in our lives. Depression, anxiety, trauma, illness, and pain can limit our ability to reach our goals or even make it difficult to get through the day. These limitations are not a personal failing. Sometimes it takes a trained specialist to help us overcome or manage these personal challenges.

Life stressors and challenges affect people of all ages, including children, adolescents and adults. While some may prefer to face them alone, receiving support from an outside perspective is at times the biggest gift you can give yourself and the people you love the most. Together, we can explore ways to ease the challenges and promote a healthy relationship that you can have with yourself and others. Youth also face many challenges that we as adults might not fully understand or know how to manage; together we can work on supporting their struggles and develop resiliency.

I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT, and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

Trauma/trans-generational trauma is at the root of much of our suffering. We often develop maladaptive coping strategies and enact the same repeated dysfunctional patterns unconsciously until our insight and awareness increases. I work with clients who are ready for deep physical, spiritual and psychological transformation.

They are tired of the biochemical model (medication only-bandaids on bullet wounds approach) and wish to be treated holistically to meet their individual needs.
