Grief Therapists in Seatac, WA
It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State with over 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field. Change is difficult, change is scary, change is not undertaken lightly, but change is necessary, and it can be achieved. Therapy and counseling are an individualized process, and it is my responsibility to create an individualized approach that values the uniqueness of who you are. Working together we will create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for you to talk about that change and what that looks like for you.

I work from a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach, which seeks to understand symptoms rather than just manage them, views most human experiences as containing conflicting thoughts and feelings, and believes that self-honesty is fundamental to growth and healing.
In practice, patients generally choose where to begin a session and move freely from there. Reflecting on our therapeutic relationship and your experiences of me and of the therapy is also a core aspect of the work; therapy is a safe practice space to explore and experiment with our patterns of relating to another person.

I specialize in working with individuals who may face challenges such as adjusting to difficulties in their interpersonal relationships, stressors related to parenting, impacts of generational trauma and self- acceptance of neurodiversity. Many of my clients often seek to develop healthier coping strategies, gaining insight into their behaviors and emotions, improving relationships, and achieving a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
