Career Counseling Therapists in Seattle, WA

Have life events caused you to pause and reevaluate? Are you moving through the loss and uncertainty of change? Do you seek more satisfaction in your work? Through coaching, we’ll explore what’s most important to you. We’ll identify patterns that keep you from achieving your goals and practices to transform them. We’ll build upon your strengths to create the future you desire. Areas of focus include career (launch or pivot, showing up powerfully in current roles, navigating organizational dynamics, etc.) and life's challenges (loss or change, building confidence and ease, improving relationships, etc.) Often coaching supports both!

Life as an ADHDer can feel like persisting in a world not built for you. Society has taught you that there's something wrong with your neurodivergence. You got that message from teachers if school became too overwhelming and you couldn't find new coping skills. Or you've had to work harder and longer at your job to still feel behind expectations. Even those closest to you may not fully understand your experiences or appreciate your strengths because of your struggles with organization, time management, impulsivity, and sensitivity. All of this is more confusing if you were diagnosed as an adult or aren't yet diagnosed.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.
