Therapists in Seattle, WA

I generally work with parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children to help them navigate raising their unique humans. I also work with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression brought on by chronic or sudden life stressors. This work is largely about identifying and examining old beliefs, coping mechanisms, and patterns of communication from the person's past that are no longer useful in current situations. In this way, people can learn and grow beyond their old habits.

I often work with people who struggle with overwhelming emotions. I enjoy helping people find a sense of ease when things are hard. My clients are often hopeless, full of worry, or consumed by shame. I work with people experiencing intense anxiety, depression, personality disorders, or suicidality. I also specialize in trauma-focused care and PTSD treatment.

I work on helping everyone find their unique path towards success and growth. In this work I have learned that there is no "one right way" to do things and everyone has a unique and personal journey towards finding the peace, success and growth they want in themselves, their lives and relationships. My goal is to help everyone I work with find this path and walk with them as they journey through the many challenges of their lives.

Are you a woman experiencing anxiety or grief due to infertility, perinatal concerns, or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing depression that feels hopelessly deep? These experiences can keep you from enjoying your relationships fully, steal your joy and motivation, or make you feel like you’re altogether failing.

Most of all, you are ready to feel empowered with resources that will strengthen you as you move out of this difficult place.

Implementing a client-centered and trauma-informed, I support clients on their mental health journey through empathic understanding, empowerment, and a belief in their ability to evolve and heal. I value cultural humility, a lifelong process that involves acknowledging my limitations as a counselor, suspension of judgment, meeting clients where they are, and respecting diverse experiences and points of view.

At its core, I believe therapy to be about cultivating space where change can occur. People come to therapy for a variety of reasons—seeking support and healing, desiring change, looking for relief from pain. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe-enough space for you to explore what brought you here, to listen well, and to offer a supportive, non-judgmental presence. This is collaborative work — we’ll look at how you landed here, in an effort to find new ways of being that may be kinder to yourself and more congruent with a whole and healthy life.

As a clinical psychologist I work with clients who are attempting to change unrewarding or isolating patterns of relating to others, or struggling to modify unproductive thoughts or feelings. The process of therapy as I practice it relies on developing a trusting and collaborative relationship between client and therapist. It is in this atmosphere of support, encouragement and respect that areas of concern and patterns of behavior can be understood and changed. I work with both individuals and couples. I have advanced training in treating depression, helping couples work productively in relationships, modification of addictive behaviors, and cognitive assessment.

As the partner affected by the addictive behavior of a loved one, you often find yourself asking what you can do to help them? You have tried many approaches, but none have been long-lasting. Your loved one's addictive behavior is unpredictable, and you are fearful it might get worse. You love your partner, but not their addictive behavior. Reaching out for help can be scary, as you want to be sure that you find a counselor that you can connect with and one that understands addictive behavior.

I am always very supportive and understanding of my clients' needs. I have strong, positive words of support when clients are lacking in confidence or not being able to see the bigger picture. I am a firm believer that we ONLY change and grown when we actually make a conscious decision to do so.

Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Seattle, WA. Psychotherapy is a trusting collaboration between therapist and client. In a safe and supportive environment we work together to identify problem areas, determine strategies and options that make sense to you and work toward real, immediate and long-term solutions. My goal is to provide immediate relief from a stressful situation while understanding the problem in the larger context of your life. I want to help you discover a process of working through issues that leads to a real, long-term solution--to really correct the problem!

I strive to help clients understand what is beneath the motivation of using harmful behaviors and attempt to help focus on self-compassion with an understanding that health and wellness is achievable. I like to view myself as a teacher of healthy coping skills where clients are able to over time, enact these skills in their own lives to have the confidence to make changes for themselves. Techniques used to help facilitate our sessions may include family therapy, exposure therapy, journaling and use of psycho-educational resources (homework, books, videos, etc).

As a Couple and Family Therapist, I am honored to collaborate with clients in deciphering what may be holding you back from the freedom to live a more whole, robust life.

I believe in the innate ability for individuals to help and heal themselves and see myself as a guide to assist in this process. I recognize the importance of a holistic approach addressing the mind-body-spirit connection, acknowledge the uniqueness of each individual, and work to support clients as they delve into the depths of their unconscious. I work in an integrative clinic in collaboration with medical (palliative care) doctors, naturopathic doctors, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and registered nurses.
