Therapists in Brighton, Seattle, WA

I specialize in the areas of grief and loss, particularly in working with young widows and bereaved men, and caregivers of those who are ill. I hope you will find working with me to be a safe, compassionate space in which to explore your experience, the story of your loss, the impact of grief in your everyday life, and progress towards building a life around your grief. My clients come to me with many areas of grief; challenging relationship dynamics or divorce, loss of a job or hope, change in health, or other significant life transition. My practice also addresses other areas of mental health, including anxiety and depression.

I welcome people who are facing any number of challenges including life transitions such as divorce, job loss, illness, death of a loved one; all shifting the ground beneath us in dramatic ways. What worked no longer works. My trMy training as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher complements training and practice in psychotherapy addressing a dysregulated emotion system resulting in various symptoms such as anxiety, panic, depression, and identity disturbance and sometimes even a desire to die or hurt oneself. There can be a painful sense of isolation and feeling unmoored. There is a way out; first understanding, then tools to heal.

I am a clinical psychologist with 10 plus years of experience providing mental health services to adult individuals and groups.

I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist dedicated to providing psychotherapy, EMDR, counseling, education, and support services to individuals, couples and professionals.

You need time to voice the thoughts, patterns and concerns that repeat themselves in your life.

Life Happens! Sometimes it helps to have compassionate and non-judgmental support as you work through life issues and transitions. I offer a client centered and holistic therapeutic approach that aims to bring to light the associations between: nutrition/diet; stress; family history; support systems & resources; life experiences; environment; and issues related to current and/or historical oppression; and how YOUR body, mind, and spirit have been reacting. I believe in encouraging and empowering my clients towards achieving the results they seek. I help clients identify and utilize their strengths and to identify and release unhealthy practices or defense mechanisms.

I work with you to uncover underlying self destructive belief/ behavior patterns, then move into more life-enhancing patterns. My approach is culturally aware, founded in understanding the relationships systems within which you live and work, and guided by my intuitive knowledge of change and growth acquired during over 20 years of experience. My advanced training in EMDR eases your movement through grief, loss or trauma. Accountability and "keeping an eye on the goal" is an important part of our work together. I also specialize in LGBTQ concerns as well as the specific pain of the adult adoptee.

I see adults and teenagers who are struggling with social issues, adjusting to new environments, family conflicts, experiencing a crisis, or just going through a tough time.

I work with people to help them to heal and gain a better understanding of themselves and their lives.

I specialize in working clinically with adolescents and their families as they navigate difficult and overwhelming experiences, relationships, or transitions. I also enjoy working with individual adults and couples who need a safe and honest place to reimagine what life can be. While our work can include clinical assessment and specific treatment goals, you are likely interested in therapy for more personal reasons. Perhaps your life has become dominated by loneliness, confusion, broken relationships, unmanageable anger or deep sadness. Perhaps you feel completely stuck. Your priorities and needs will guide our work together.

Do you want to experience true intimacy and deeper connection in your relationships? Are you bothered by painful emotions, anger, anxiety, depression, or a sense of emptiness in your life? Or maybe you aren't suffering but would like to get more out of your life, sexual life, or relationships? I can help! I have over a decade of experience helping youths and adults transcend emotional suffering and discover their true selves leading to happier people and more fulfilling relationships.

I work with individual adult clients and couples who are facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, trauma, and challenges at work or in relationships. Since 2002, I have counseled adults, couples, and groups in community mental health and medical clinics, as well as in my private practice. I have also conducted in-depth research on trauma, hopelessness, empathy, and intimacy. Above all, I believe that my clients, not I, hold the key to their growth and that emotional pain and anxiety, when given respect and non-judgmental attention, can often provide some of the best opportunities for learning.

My approach is based on curiosity about (and deep compassion for) the ways individuals and couples make sense of themselves and their own stories. I am amazed by the power of relationship as a path to self-discovery and relief. My clinical focus is that of parents of teenagers (middle school-college age) who might need extra support or a fresh perspective in order to better navigate struggles that arise during adolescence -- the push-pull of independence-seeking and overwhelm.

Are you overwhelmed? Struggling with anxiety, depression or grief? That life is too hard? Consistently frustrated that things you want don't happen? I'm here to help you untangle those stressors, so you can move forward into the life you deserve. Together we'll take an in-depth look at causes and triggers to find solutions that are logical and practical.

“Psychology will be a dinosaur science until it includes astrology.”--Carl Gustav Jung. My clients are committed to walking a path of self-discovery and deep healing. Their therapy journey supports them in developing deep self-compassion, self-love and self-awareness. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years experience in the addiction and trauma fields. I have certification and specialized training in EMDR and Core Energetics therapies.

We all have an image of our best self. This is the person we'd be if we just weren't so tired, so anxious, so angry or so depressed. I think about my work as the process of helping people to become who they already know they are - or could be. Our work together is to find out why you feel those things in the first place so you can move past them and start feeling happier, more productive and more connected to the life you want.
