Adults Therapists in Seattle, WA

I love working with clients who are seeking greater connection and meaning in their lives. You may be unsure of your next step, grappling with uncertainty, or finding areas of life where you feel hungry for more freedom or belonging. I'm a good fit for teens and adults who are looking for a non-judgmental space to explore experiences of anxiety, stress, relationships, body image, gender identity, oppression, and life transitions. Sometimes we can lose touch with our inner voice, leaving us unable to trust ourselves, and therapy is a courageous choice toward connection and agency.

I enjoy helping my clients find their unique strengths and building on them in a confidential and supportive setting. I feel it is important for people to gain understanding and insight into behavior patterns that are creating problems in life and learn how to change them. I also work with clients to enable them to find a satisfying work/life or school/life balance. I utilize cognitive behavioral and brief solution focused therapy.

Are you going through a particularly difficult time? Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Maybe you have experienced a loss of a relationship or are adjusting to significant changes in your life? Whether the difficulties are past or recent traumas, losses, conflicts in relationships with self or others, I help my clients move toward growth and change. I provide a warm, accepting environment to assist individuals in facing difficult challenges, finding strength and identifying more choices for themselves and their lives.

Therapy can be a space to explore different parts of yourself and cultivate a tool box of skills to help you effectively cope with the challenges life can bring. I approach therapy with openness, compassion, and utilize evidence based practices to guide my work. I provide individual and family therapy to children 10 and up, adolescents, and adults .

I believe each individual has a special gift to give. Sometimes this gift is clear to a person, but in many of us it takes self-discovery to bring out our innate gifts, which ultimately provide meaning and purpose in our lives. I work from a strength-based philosophy, highlighting the positives, moving clients toward awareness of where they are in the moment and provide them options to move forward to meet their stated goals.

I primarily provide individual therapy to adults (ages 18-45) who wish to address acute or long-term trauma, specifically childhood sexual abuse/sexual assault but other traumas as well. I approach each client through a developmental lens, understanding that concerns manifest differently depending on one's age and developmental stage at the time of the trauma as well as at the time of treatment. I also am available to work with parents, many who are navigating challenges associated with helping a child who has been traumatized, who wish to explore more positive discipline strategies.

I work with young, midlife, and elderly adults in all phases of life transition, whose lives have brought them to a place where they want support to work through difficult, stuck, or critical times. What often appears problematic is evidence of a solution trying to happen. I see this as an organic process which can come with disturbance, frustration, over-stimulation and/or depression. What you sometimes can't see by yourself, you can see, navigate, and resolve with the help of another. My approach is to join my clients in their quest for resolution, meaning, and happiness.

Feelings of loneliness, depression, and isolation are often a surprise when we are surrounded by people at work, home, and in social connections.

I bring the qualities of warmth and connection, honesty, sensitivity, creativity, flexibility, humor, clarity and openmindedness, and interactive exchange to sessions.

Behind so much of how we think, what we long for, and how we relate to ourselves and others lies unacknowledged shame, trauma, and the strategies we developed, sometimes very early on, to cope with and hide these realities from ourselves. These make up the “muscle memory” of our emotional worlds, which cannot always be easily recalled, but determine our lives nonetheless. Therapy aims to cultivate awareness of what lies underneath in disconnected, dissociated ways, and provides a space to move through the pain, accept, and integrate the past so that it no longer repeats itself in our lives.
