Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Alki Beach, Seattle, WA

As of 12/01/22 I am currently taking new patients via Zoom.

Your uncomfortable symptoms may be what send you to therapy, but they can also serve you. You may feel overwhelmed or confused, and yet this is also an invitation for hope, curiosity, insight, and self-compassion. It is an opportunity to be able to access some of the deepest realms of yourself, to heal, and to move forward with greater confidence in your life. I work with individuals of all ages, and provide support for people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adoption, trauma , body image and eating disorders, life transitions, individuation, co-dependence, overall work and family stress, and multicultural issues.

I specialize in working with adults who are facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD , anger, or other post- trauma reactions, and emphasize working with members of the military and veteran communities in my practice. I also enjoy working with individuals who struggle with managing difficult emotions and are interested in building their 'emotional intelligence,' including learning how to name, express, and cope with emotions in effective and authentic ways. I use a targeted, active, and evidence-based approach to treatment, and also value the use of humor and transparency in the therapeutic process.

I offer an integrative approach to individuals and couples seeking solutions and insight into their life challenges. Client centered psychotherapy is where I begin for concerns such as anxiety and depression, post-traumatic stress , family concerns, relationship issues, difficulties with self-esteem, grief and loss, or life transition. I work with couples, individual adults, and adolescents. I am also interested in strengths, and what is working in your life, as a way to sort out how to support the growth and changes you wish to make.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the community of West Seattle. It is my honor and calling to help clients in their teens & twenties reach their full potential and recognize their unique strengths. I believe that while people are doing their best, with my help they can experience greater joy as we work together to relieve suffering. With the right therapeutic interventions, it is possible to flourish and create a life worth living. It is my passion to work with adolescents dealing with trauma , anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, chronic illness and self-esteem. I also work with athletes of all ages.

I believe that therapy is fundamentally about growth, learning to embrace challenges in life, and finding your authentic self. It is my passion to develop a genuine relationship with my clients where we can safely have difficult conversations, resolve conflicts, and experience your authentic self, including your pain.

Although I have a wide array of therapy related interests, I specialize in gender variance and sexual orientation. In addition, my therapeutic focus encompasses topics that include polyamory, sexual trauma and abuse, feminist issues, anxiety and depression.

Are you struggling with loss of identity and heightened anxiety? Do you experience anger and feelings of powerlessness? This can be a common experience for those with marginalized identities. I'm an ideal fit for those struggling with issues related to sexual health, neurodiversity, and/or systemic trauma …and those from marginalized backgrounds. Together we will reduce shame and guilt and increase self-esteem. You deserve to feel seen and heard - you deserve to take up space and to feel empowered.

I will actively use my training and experience to help you meet your needs & goals. Successful treatment is a direct result of mutual efforts, honesty, respect, and collaboration. Life is full of transitions. Many transitions require skill to navigate. Some happen easily and others require thought, planning and occasionally outside help. I regularly help people manage depression, anxiety, life & work transitions, relationship problems, the processing of and recovery from trauma , and developmental issues throughout the lifespan.

Perhaps you're hoping to improve your your mood, increase your self-compassion, or enhance your romantic relationship. Maybe you're seeking a non-judgmental and supportive relationship with your therapist, within which you can learn strategies you can use right away. If so, I look forward to hearing from you! I primarily treat anxiety, PTSD , and relationship concerns, and I have over a decade of experience supporting individuals and couples in their therapy goals. I'm also pleased to offer trainings on trauma -informed healthcare and no-cost evaluations for asylum seekers.
