Codependency Therapists in Seattle, WA
Welcome! There is a lot to figure out in your 20's and 30's. On the outside, things look good. But underneath, you feel like something is missing. The demand, pressure, obligation are all a lot, and you feel stuck.
Often, patterns are cyclical and repeat from the past into the present. Society often neglects what afflicts one's internal world, and we then learn that the norm in life is to be alone in emotional pain. Unprocessed negativity is internalized, which in turn shapes how we view ourselves, our relationships, and life experiences.

As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

I work with identity shifts, life transitions, codependency, grief, sexual abuse, and relational struggles.
Counseling is a space where we get to focus on helping you move towards a life that is more fulfilling, meaningful, and connected. I work with people struggling with anxious thoughts, depression, or challenging relationships. Some are trying to navigate dating, intimacy, and partnership. Some have experienced spiritual abuse or are coming out of religious systems that have left them confused and even traumatized. Some are queer identified or navigating non-normative relational structures. Many people are just stuck and want some help figuring out why. Counseling helps you get unstuck.

Is out-of-control sexual behavior hurting you or someone you care about? Pornography, prostitution, infidelity and other secretive sexual activity can contribute to physical, legal and relationship problems, and destroy families and careers.

I am now accepting new clients! My approach to therapy is open minded, collaborative, and inclusive. I take a "come as you are" approach and encourage my clients to show up as their true selves for us to form a trusting therapeutic relationship. I offer support to my clients in their healing, pattern-breaking, life transitions, exploration of self, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I personally tailor my approach to each individual as therapy is not a “one size fits all.” I find value in community, connection, and laughter in both my daily life and therapy.

It's common to struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship issues, and meaning-making, but learning how to navigate those issues is so tricky. As a trauma-informed counselor, I understand that moving into alignment with what we want isn't easy and it's a learned skill to turn toward it anyway. My aim is to be an ally amongst challenges with repetitive cycles. I know from personal experience that accessibility to mental health can feel like it's only for people with money. Taking Medicaid is a huge value of mine because support should be available for everyone.

You may feel stuck despite insight and effort, noticing repeated patterns in relationships, work, or faith. While life may look functional on the outside, internally you may struggle with anxiety, shame, emotional reactivity, or a sense that something essential is missing. You want more than symptom relief—you want to understand how past experiences shaped these patterns and how to live with greater freedom and integrity.

As an experienced anxiety & codependency couples therapist, I believe that you can live a calm, confident, and fulfilled life.
Currently accepting Couples-
You probably aren't surprised when I tell you that overanalyzing WHY you might be anxious rarely helps. You feel at a loss on how to communicate your needs to your partner. You don't need "get over it" it or minimize your pain, but instead learn how to work with it. You used to be good at hiding it, but lately you can't hold it all together and now it's affecting your relationship. Maybe you don't even remember life without anxiety. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You're ready to trust and feel secure in your relationship again, ready to handle whatever life throws at you, together.

Suffering is not evidence of failure. It is evidence of one thing... your humanity. We all suffer sometimes and we all deserve compassion and care simply because we're human. Coming to therapy can be scary. Even as you're reaching out to have a chance at a better experience in life, you want to know that who you are, and where you are now, will be respected and cared for. I believe good therapy can be both challenging and gentle, supportive and enlivening.

Let's be real, very few people are doing ok right now. Instability in our country and world greatly impacts emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This instability makes work stress & unexpected life events feel unbearable. It's ok to need extra support right now.
I often work with clients navigating multiple identities—BIPOC women & teens, LGBTQ+ folks, college students & professionals facing increased stress & burnout. Many wrestle with duty, autonomy & identity; often caught between people-pleasing, over-functioning & self-doubt.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist specializing in challenges with self-worth and relational trauma, as well as the feelings of depression, anxiety, or numbness that often occur with these experiences. My work is rooted in attachment-focused and trauma-informed approaches - I help people understand how relationships (especially the earliest ones in our lives) impact being able to feel emotionally safe with themselves and others. I especially enjoy helping people get out of their heads and into their hearts, or do the opposite when it would help to slow down our emotional experiences to make sense of them.

Are you ready to overcome the belief that something is wrong with you? Do you struggle with: low self-esteem, dis-empowerment, creating healthy relationships, setting boundaries, self-compassion, or self-care? These issues are common in our society today- there is a collective belief that somehow, no matter what we do, we are intrinsically flawed or broken. We have traded the sacred truth of our own experience for self-aggression, self-judgment, and self-loathing, and we feel miserable.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
