Therapists in Lower Queen Anne, Seattle, WA

I love to work with couples and families! No matter what you are going through, I am here to help be completely nonjudgemental. Through my work with individuals, couples/partnerships, and families I help my clients identify unfulfilling and unproductive patterns of behavior and offer alternative approaches that promote connection and align with their individual and relational goals. I am here for you!

Feeling stuck? Maybe you are burnt out, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or grief, and your relationships are suffering. I help people in their 20's and 30's deal with the major transitions of this time of life: shifting family dynamics, partner relationships, health crises, and the scramble to actualize an authentic and meaningful life. Sometimes we think we should be able to figure it out on our own, or that our problems aren’t as bad as they could be - and we find ourselves hesitant to take the next step. If you are brave enough to give yourself the gift of support, I will meet your vulnerability with compassion and curiosity.

For the last 10 years, I've been working in private practice with people who are seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with clients who are looking for a supportive space for self-reflection and growth, with the goal of building relationship skills and coping strategies that can help them move through life in a more skillful way. I love working with people, and I use a warm and compassionate approach, not without direct and honest feedback. I'm often described as kind, spacious, and encouraging, providing a comfortable space for therapy.

Tired of living a life that feels less than fulfilling? Never been to therapy before and nervous about trying it out? Struggling to navigate your identity after leaving a religious institution or exploring your sexuality? The good news is, you’re not alone! Many of my clients are processing religious trauma, looking for support in their LGBTQ identity, need help coping with attachment-related stressors, or are processing grief. With the most up-to-date evidence based treatments, I believe in supporting you with an individualized, multi-faceted therapeutic approach to help empower you to live in emotional and mental freedom.

I am a therapist with ADHD, so I love working with clients who have ADHD. I think our similar brains strengthen our understanding of each other and therefore our therapeutic connection. I will never tell you to just “try harder” or “buy a planner” or other things that neurotypicals have said to you (although I do love some good office supplies). Everyone with ADHD is different and deserves personalized exploration of their needs and barriers to help manage symptoms and achieve functioning goals. I also love working with couples who have ADHD, including mixed neurotype couples who are working to better understand one another.

To know and to be known authentically is a human desire. But there are times that we are misunderstood, not cared for properly, and plain old hurt in the process of vulnerability. We begin to spiral with thoughts and emotions that lead to depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, sadness. Together we can unpack where these emotions are coming from and learn to care for these feelings.

I am a Washington State Approved Supervisor and currently have a limited number of openings for clinical supervision. Are you having trouble moving forward and feel tired of being stuck? Psychotherapy can offer you a space to pause and explore your thoughts and feelings and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering online individual therapy to clients located anywhere in OR, NM, and Washington state. I am passionate about supporting my clients through life's transitions and helping them to build authentic connections in their communities. I consider it an honor to be part of that journey. I often work with individuals who are willing to try new things, value growth, and appreciate honest feedback. I tailor my approach to the needs of each client and work collaboratively with clients to develop treatment plans that highlight each individual’s unique goals.

We work with individuals, couples, families, teens, and children. Our therapists are trained in various psychotherapy modalities such as EMDR, The Gott man Method, EFT, Hypnotherapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. We help clients address issues related to relationships, self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and improving overall mental health and well-being.

If you are thinking about therapy, you probably have already decided on some level that you want to be having a different experience than what you are currently in. You want to feel less stressed, less hopeless, less overwhelmed. That may mean learning to manage your anxiety, exploring values, learning to set boundaries at work and in your relationships, questioning the way that you talk to yourself, treating yourself with the kindness you give to others or finding a way to live with past experiences that isn't so painful.

I specialize in grief and loss; LGBTQ+ issues; depression and anxiety; and trauma processing. I approach therapy from a place of curiosity, humor, and collaboration. It can be difficult to go through challenges alone and sometimes we need an outside perspective to challenge the unhelpful and negative narratives we have constructed for ourselves during those challenging times. I am here to help uncover and create a narrative that reflects your strengths and intrinsic identity.

Do you feel stuck? Anxious? Tired of replaying the past and worrying about your future? Living with OCD and anxiety can be exhausting and isolating, so I want to commend you for taking this step to find a trusted therapist to walk with you on this journey. In my work with clients, strive to work collaboratively – you are the expert on you, and I see my job as using my experience and training to guide you toward living authentically and joyfully. Let's get started!

I believe talk therapy can get us far, but somatic work can get us further- allowing us to reclaim our body’s inherent resiliency and ability to regulate. Maybe you have done a lot of beautiful self-work but are ready for deeper nervous system regulation. You might feel ready to move beyond recovery and into more ease and joy. You may have a part that feels stuck, but an even bigger one that wants to heal. Perhaps you're ready for deeper spiritual and identity work. I work best with people who are ready to get out of their head and into the body.

Execs, managers, busy professionals struggling with Stress. Anxiety, Burnout, unhappy with your life and or feeling stuck in your relationships or career. High demands taking their toll? You’re used to being at the top of your game in your career, but confronted by these challenges you never anticipated. If you are a professional of color, international or recent immigrant you face additional challenges of bias, prejudice and microaggressions in the workplace. Reclaim your happiness, energy and empowerment? Be your best self in your personal & professional life.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and I specialize in working with those who struggle with anxiety, stress, or depression. These issues are particularly important to me because they can be debilitating, and yet they are often treatable. I use evidence-based practices to help reduce and decrease symptoms. It is truly an honor to walk alongside a client as they deepen their self-awareness, ponder their values and align those values with their goals in life. There is great strength in the human spirit, and it can empower individuals to make meaningful changes through discipline and hard work.

I work best with couples and individuals who want to work on themselves and/or a relationship with the goal of success and freedom. I am especially passionate working with client’s who have a drive for their own transformation through understanding their story, journey, and style of relating. By understanding yourself in a deeper way, I strive for clients to have better intimacy, communication, and satisfaction from their relationships and their internal world. We’ll leverage your curiosity to co-create an environment where awareness, honesty, and freedom can occur.

**CURRENTLY OFFERING TELETHERAPY SESSIONS in ARIZONA & WASHINGTON** Relationships can be challenging, particularly the ones that are most important to us. We want to feel known, connected and loved but often end up hurt and lonely, stuck in patterns which aren't working. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression or grief among other things. I have extensive training in Psychodyamic Therapy. I have also learned directly from masters in the field of Couples Therapy: John & Julie Gottman and Phil Ringstrom to address these very issues.

Reaching out for help is certainly not easy, and whatever you are going through, I'm here to support. It is my goal to provide you tools to not only reduce the symptoms you and your loved ones may be experiencing, but also identify the root causes for long lasting change. As a relational therapist, the clients I support are families who are navigating the challenges of having tweens, teens, or young adults as well as couples who are struggling to communicate. I also love working with women who are navigating life transitions, experiencing symptoms of ADHD/anxiety, or are struggling in their relationships.

My ideal clients are adults, teens, and couples who feel lost, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns that no longer serve them. They're ready to understand themselves more deeply, pursue meaning, and relate authentically. I help you embrace your strengths and gain clarity about underlying wounds that affect your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. Through collaborative exploration in a safe space, we'll partner to process your past, connect insights intellectually and emotionally, and take steps towards the life you want.
