Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Sammamish, WA

Have you found it challenging to understand your emotions? Or communicate with your spouse? Have you struggled to adjust and find purpose through life's stages and, as a result, experienced anxiety or depression? Are you a man who tries hard to do "what he is supposed to do" only to find it gets you nowhere? Does this make you angry? Therapy is the perfect place to gain insight and transcend these challenges, to heal yourself and your relationships. I develop holistic impressions of my clients which has helped me successfully treat my patients for over 5 years. I specialize in helping couples and individuals find new ways to heal.

Are you a teen who feels like no one understands you? Are you a parent who is struggling with parenting challenges? Are you an adult having trouble in coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, work stress, or a couple struggling with marital problems where it is so hard to connect with your partner? Life can be hard, and we often find ourselves stuck. I'm here to help you to cope with the life's struggles without feeling alone. I have 23 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults and couples. I can assist you in finding solutions to your problems and guide you to the path of happiness and success.

COUPLES: Whether you are hoping to relate to each other in healthier and more fulfilling ways, deepen intimacy, and/or you feel stuck in spite of your best efforts, I am ready to meet you where you are at. Together, we can heal painful patterns in your relationship so that everyone's needs are met. INDIVIDUALS: I work in a deeply compassionate, trauma-informed way to help you heal your wounds (including those from racial trauma). I welcome clients of all ages, and after 15 years as a middle and high school teacher, I really enjoy working with adolescents and teens. I am particularly welcoming of BIPOC & LGBTQ+ folks.

Everyone has a story to tell and I'm here to listen to yours, to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to reflect on your experiences and create lasting positive change that matters most to you. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and major life changes can often make us feel detached from ourselves and those around us. It is an absolute privilege for me to provide a space where you can feel supported and understood. I specialize in my work with adolescents and young adults, with extensive experience in this demographic. I also assist adults with anxiety and addiction and help couples improve communication.

Folks I work with describe me as warm and nonjudgmental, yet assertive and highly engaged. Our work will be an active collaboration - while I will continuously strive to deeply understand your inner experience, I will also point out things in your behavior or thinking that you may not be aware of and offer potential explanations of your challenges as well as practical suggestions about achieving your goals. As you gain more understanding and compassion towards the anxious, depressed, angry, or hurting parts of yourself, you will feel increasingly more grounded and empowered to lead the life that you desire.

Feeling lost and disconnected from your Self? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Maybe you ask yourself, "what's wrong with me?" Whatever you're going through, you don't have to face it alone. My aim is to support and empower you, as you bravely explore your inner world and Re-discover your inherent wisdom, purpose, and joy. I'm here to help you get "unstuck," so you can step into the fullness of your BE-ing and Re-connect with your true, authentic Self. I honor that everyone's journey is unique, and together, we'll work towards creating the aligned life that you truly desire.

How many of us wake up one day to discover we are living a life that does not quite fit who we are or what we want? We are stuck, anxious, and depressed, often without knowing why or what to do about it. Or maybe we do know why but aren't sure what our first steps should be to get ourselves moving again. What we do know, though, is that there is something more inside of us, that we have a "guiding star" that is just waiting to be discovered.

I’m here to help. My intention is to provide a free and protected space for you to feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. It is my belief that we all have the innate capacity to bring about healing and positive change in our lives: it is that innate tendency toward growth and fulfillment that is encouraged and promoted in therapy.

Doesn't life feel too hard sometimes? Whether you're struggling with negative emotions, had something happen to you, or created a mess of your own, I want to help you find your way again and for you to know you're not alone. I've been helping adults, couples, parents, and families for over 15 years get their lives moving in the direction they want again, and hope you'll give me a chance too. I offer a client-centered approach for your unique situation and needs. For some people and in some stages of therapy I'll do a lot of listening. For other people and stages, I'll provide perspective and guidance as desired.

You want to be the best for everyone around you, but you don’t know who you are anymore, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. You overperform to feel safe and stable, but it’s exhausting. The coping skills that used to work don’t work anymore. The stress and anxiety have become overwhelming. You’re scared of your feelings because they are just too much and the negative thoughts won't stop. You blame yourself, feeling like a failure. You shut down and disconnect from others, which makes you feel even worse about yourself.

Choosing a healthcare provider can feel particularly frustrating, adding stress on top of the reason you are seeking care. Making a good connection is worth the effort! I'm a Washington licensed doctor of clinical psychology, a veteran, and former technology executive. My clinical scope of practice encompasses the full range of mental and behavioral health as well as psychological evaluations and neuropsychological assessments. I'm passionate about working with each person with respect for their unique goals, preferences, and circumstances. My practice is entirely private pay with no direct involvement with insurance companies.

I specialize in adults with health related issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Are you feeling alone and disconnected in your intimate relationship? Do you wonder why you're in the same stuck pattern with your loved one and want to get some clarity and get out of the pattern? Are you also looking for practical tools to improve your communication with your partner/spouse/family members? Are also looking for a professional to help you express your emotional truth so that you feel more empowered and final emotional balance in everyday life. Or you may struggle with anxiety and depression and want to find ways to cope. I work frequently with couples where one or both are Asian descents or inter-racial couples.
