Grief Therapists in Medina, WA
You’re tired of holding it all together—maybe you’re anxious, burned out, stuck in negative patterns, or just feeling off and not sure why. You want more than just coping—you want real change. I work with people who look like they have it together but feel overwhelmed inside. With over 15 years of experience as a therapist—and almost a decade spent on the frontlines as a first responder and hospital worker—I personally understand how trauma and chronic stress can shape your life. With EMDR and other effective tools, I help clients move out of survival mode and into a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected.

You want to open up your monogamous relationship. You’ve done the reading, reflecting, and exploring on Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM). You are at a point to share this desire with your partner. And yet, the thought of hurting your partner or possibly losing them is terrifying. The guilt for wanting more is keeping you up at night. The confusion and doubt are all-consuming. How do you approach a conversation like this with honesty, care, and the least amount of emotional harm? What might you need to feel ready?... I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore these questions through the lens of Narrative therapy.

I help mid- to later-life adults navigate relationship challenges, intimacy issues, conflict, caregiving stress, health concerns, identity or purpose loss, retirement and empty nesting shifts, grief, isolation, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
You may not know exactly when it shifted, but something feels different. Midlife and later life can arrive quietly—through subtle changes in your body, relationships, or roles. Recovery takes longer. Energy feels different. Parents need care. Retirement or career recalibration comes into view. Long-standing partnerships begin navigating new terrain shaped by health changes, shifting identities, or evolving intimacy. You may feel stretched between responsibility and reflection—wanting steadiness, clarity, and a place to think deeply about what this season means for you and your relationships. You don’t have to face it alone.

You have spent years molding yourself into what society, family, or your career expects, and now you are ready to reconnect with the woman you actually are. Perhaps perfectionism and anxiety have become constant companions, or the weight of professional burnout and complex identity—as a first-gen daughter or partner in an interfaith family—feels increasingly heavy. You are looking for more than just coping skills; you want to understand how your past influences your present. Your goal is to reclaim a sense of self-worth, heal the roots of your trauma, and finally move through the world with authenticity.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do”- Brene Brown. My clients are those who are ready and willing to take ownership of their story in a way that feels authentic and empowering. This story ownership often involves self identity work, discovering or reclaiming values, setting boundaries/interpersonal work, learning how to both accept emotions and take action, and learning to "come home" to yourself. Common issues I support are anxiety, depression, relationships, pregnancy and postpartum, life transitions, ADHD, perfectionism, and family of origin issues.

Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human. In our work together my focus is building a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what you think and feel, want and need. My style as a therapist is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I use playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and laughter to support the therapy process and I prioritize taking time to get to know you and what's important to you.

I believe the growth and beauty of our resilience comes from dealing directly and gently with our pain, loss and obstacles, as well as spectacular adventures, planned and unplanned.
Do you want to take your life experiences to a more fulfilling level? Do you know your 'issues' and 'patterns,' yet still find yourself stuck and dealing with the same problems within yourself or relationships repeatedly? We often begin our greatest work where things feel limiting. My passion for this work comes from a desire to be a part of people’s courageous experiences of understanding who they are, while letting go of who they aren’t. I specialize in working with professionals in the tech industry, business, creative endeavors; stay-at-home parents; and people transitioning in their lives, as well as couples in troubled waters.

I believe we humans all have an internal voice that is at times worried, critical, and even hopeless. My therapeutic approach involves acknowledging and working with these parts of ourselves, rather than silencing or eliminating them. I specialize in treating professionals (e.g., individuals in medicine, law, tech), and I have comfort working with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I also enjoy helping people navigate stressors, such as relationships and parenting. I have extensive experience working with racial and sexual minorities. I help people learn to sit with their feelings, develop self-compassion, and establish healthy habits.

My goal is to make therapy a safe and supportive space.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on you. I will offer compassionate support along with concrete tools to help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control.
You deserve to feel better—and healing is possible.

Who were you before the world told you who you should be? My therapeutic practice supports clients committed to reclaiming their authentic selves. Sessions will explore unhelpful stories and beliefs, their influence on our thoughts and actions, and how to work through these life challenges. I offer compassionate listening and emotional support as clients strive for positive changes and build a healthier sense of self. Individuals who are in crisis (suicidal, self-harming, homicidal) or in addiction are not suitable for this intensive work.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, without pretense.
I am genuinely passionate about my work. For 18 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families through some of life's most difficult seasons. What draws me to this work is the depth, complexity, and the profound moments when people who have long felt unseen or misunderstood finally feel understood and reconnect with themselves and the people they love.

Therapy works best when it's built on genuine connection, not just technique. I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and psychosis, offering a deeply relational and trauma-informed approach rooted in safety and authenticity.
My specialties:
• Psychosis & Schizophrenia Spectrum
• Dissociation & DID
• Complex Trauma & PTSD
• Moral Injury
• Veteran Transition
People come to me when they're carrying something too heavy to think about clearly. I provide a steady, containing presence, and a mind that can hold you're experiencing. We build safety first, then develop language for what hasn't been named yet.

Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, navigating a painful loss or life transition, or facing the unique challenges of being a person of color, immigrant, or multicultural individual, you don’t have to carry this alone.
