Chronic Pain Therapists in Seattle, WA
Feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world, yet you’re all alone in it? Maybe there’s a relentless hum of anxiety, a low-key feeling of loneliness that never really lets up even if you have people around. You’ve tried talking things through, but it’s like putting a Band-Aid on something that needs stitches. I’m here to help you dig way beneath the surface, past the quick fixes, and figure out what’s really fueling all that angst. With a deep assessment background, we’ll get at those hidden layers. Then we can rewire an overactive nervous system that has your own thoughts treating your brain like it’s part of a firing squad.

Are you an introvert? How about a busy parent with no time to set aside for hour-long sessions? Or do you dread face-to-face interaction when working through life's challenges? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, I invite you to schedule an appointment. My goal as a therapist is to create safe spaces for all my clients, tailored to their unique needs and preferences. The first session is video to meet each other per Washington State requirements and after that you can do text, video or no video sessions. When you send a message, let me know what your preferred method is.

I have a collaborative approach to counseling where I work with clients to help them identify areas for change and to make changes by setting specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive goals. To do this, I incorporate evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness meditation, and other modalities. Generally, this involves changing or adjusting our relationship to our thoughts and changing behaviors that negatively impact our functioning and get in the way of us living meaningful lives based on our values and what is important to us.

As a National Certified Counselor, I will explore your concerns and assist you in uncovering deeper issues that might be hindering or influencing your relationships and your worldview. Given the unique challenges that each person encounters, which demand subtle and distinct methods of intervention, I trained in both contemporary research-based therapies, as well as traditional techniques (Psychodynamics), so I can offer a variety of tools. “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” -- Dr. Viktor Frankl (founder of Logotherapy).

My patients are usually hard working adults who have run into some tough times or are experiencing difficult emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. I focus on using a strengths-based and harm reduction approach, which views each person as an individual with unique strengths and challenges. Using this approach values the person and facilitates a customized treatment plan for the individual. My role is not to judge you or your behaviors, but to act as an independent consultant for improving your mental well-being and quality of life.

Life is full of complexities. The most powerful thing that we can tap into is living a heart-centered life, learning about our own inner guidance. There are many internal and external barriers that get in the way of this. We do not have to navigate these things alone.

I believe that people innately have the internal resources to meet life's challenges. We all have great potential for growth and change when we are empowered to access these resources within ourselves. But it is in relationship with others that these resources are inspired and engaged. My approach to therapy is collaborative. My hope is to help create the conditions where you feel encouraged and supported to explore the themes that are present in your life.

I want to help you find solace, clarity, and a sense of ease to the things in life that seldom make sense. Often this is asking big questions in the face of life's hardest curveballs. I will encourage meaningful and honest conversations about the things in life that are challenging for you to explore. Together, we will make a space to be able to give life to the words that are difficult to say out loud and help you grow in ways that feel useful to you. This can be a painful process and most often is worth it.

You’re introspective, deeply feeling, and maybe even a bit of an old soul. You see life through a rich inner lens, but that same depth can lead to self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling stuck in cycles of perfectionism and self-criticism. You long for more ease, clarity, and trust in yourself—to move beyond the noise of your inner critic and reconnect with your true essence. I’m here to help you soften those inner struggles and step into the life you’re meant to live.
