Therapists in Seattle, WA

Let’s face it, modern life is stressful. With constant demands on your time and attention, it’s not surprising that you’ve neglected what used to be your north star – your relationship. This may leave you feeling disconnected from your partner & trapped in a cycle of go-nowhere fights. You probably miss the spark that made you excited to see each other at the end of the day. You long for the days when the two of you were in love. I am on a mission to create a better world by helping couples build stronger relationships. People in healthy relationships feel better, get more done & contribute to positive change in the world.

Living with anxiety or OCD is miserable! I have worked with anxiety and OCD for almost a decade and enjoy helping kids, teens and adults break free from the limitations and distress that anxiety creates in daily life. Often I see clients who are discouraged that talk therapy or other treatments have not been helpful. Research consistently demonstrates the importance of evidence-based treatment for moderate to severe anxiety and OCD. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is essential for successful treatment.

I am passionate about guiding my clients through a process of self-discovery, helping them learn about their strengths and weaknesses, and assisting them in developing more effective coping skills and communication techniques. I use multiple modalities of counseling, teaching, learning, and healing, and incorporate various psycho-social-educational models within a culture and gender sensitive framework. My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, collaborative, and conversational. I generally work from family systems, structural and symbolic experiential theoretical orientations. I use elements of play therapy and story telling in my work with children.

Struggling with OCD, Phobias, and/or Anxiety Disorders? Yearning to reduce intrusive thoughts, combat the impetus to perform compulsions, and overcome your fears? As Exposure and Response Prevention Specialist, I am here to open the door to tranquility and functionality! My role is to assist you in the implementation of ERP, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, in particular, and Anxiety Disorders, in general. I will guide you through the application of this behavioral intervention in the contexts in which your obsessions, compulsions, and avoidances manifest. This approach is designed to enhance the authenticity of treatment

Hi, I'm Jessica! I help professionals diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood better understand themselves, find a sense of peace, and thrive. I know living with ADHD can be challenging, do any of these sound familiar? You’re a people-pleaser and struggle to advocate for yourself. You seem to have it “all together” from the outside but internally are struggling with anxiety, loneliness, self-doubt, or burnout. You struggle with procrastination, keeping track of all the tasks on your plate, leading to overwhelm. You feel like no one quite fully understands you. It feels like it’s so much easier for everyone else to accomplish goals.

I believe in healing the whole person. There are many factors that shape who we are and affect our understanding of ourselves and our environment. I believe in working with my client to work through these factors to reach true acceptance of one self. My specialties include Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues and Codependency. We are all unique, in our personalities and in the way we process our emotions and environment. Therefore, I focus on building unique relationships with my clients to work towards self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth.

Are you struggling to live the life you want? Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry, or frustrated with your current situation? If so, I'd love to help! Through our work together, you can lead a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. I work hard to create a compassionate and safe environment that fosters personal growth and lasting change. During therapy, I challenge clients through open and active dialogue and observations. At times, I also find a hugely important part of my work involves helping clients accept what they cannot change to free themselves from being stuck in the past.
