Therapists in Queen Anne, Seattle, WA

**Currently not accepting new clients** Sometimes couples feel as if they are stuck. Stuck in conflict, stuck in trust and communication issues, or stuck in stagnation. In my work with couples, I act as a neutral third party, striving to create a safe place in which we can work together to uncover these patterns of "stuck-ness" while also establishing a secure and loving bond between partners. I also enjoy working with women, tweens and up, seeking to make peace with food and body. I am honored to walk beside women through transitions and hardships, which often co-occur with food and body struggles.

I work with individuals, couples and families to gain insight and to identify the underlying causes to challenges in their lives. I help people to figure out where they are currently at and to find solutions, while building on the strengths of the individual, couple and/or family. With my assistance, clients prioritize their needs and then set simple, realistic, and achievable goals. Clients draw on their experience and learn to appreciate the areas of their life where they are enjoying success. Clients gain the skills and tools needed to meet their goals.

I work with women, men, adolescents, and couples struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship difficulties, and/or working toward personal growth, self-exploration, and relationship enhancement. I also have advanced training in helping people work through the emotional and psychological issues related to medical problems including infertility, high-risk pregnancy, peripartum loss, postpartum depression, cancer, adjustment to parenting, and other issues. I have a specialization in reproductive medicine and conduct psychotherapy as well as psychological evaluations required prior to participation in third party reproduction.

Welcome, I’m glad you are here. Many people seek out therapy because of feeling alone, stuck, or out of control in themselves or in their relationships; experiences of suffering often keep us from living fully into who we want to be and how we want to live our lives. I believe that it is possible to heal these wounds and embody new, authentic ways of being. My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space for healing, self-discovery, and making meaningful changes that are important to you.

My passion is working with individuals who have strong and sometimes even overwhelming emotions. People with a lot of passion and who sometimes struggle to regulate their intensity. Those who might be considered highly sensitive or highly empathic.

No one is immune to depression, relationship problems, parenting issues, anxiety, and other common human experiences we face moving through life. Are you at a point in your life where you have used up all of the coping skills that you have to deal with life's challenges? Are you overwhelmed by emotional pain? Are you concerned about the current state of your life or the direction that your life is headed in? Your courage and strength have brought you to this moment where you have chosen to seek support. Asking for help is often the most difficult step, and I know how critical it is to find the therapist that fits you.
