Therapists in Seattle, WA

I use a person-centered and compassionate approach because I recognize that you are the expert on you. Within this approach framework, I draw on several practices and modalities, including Existential-Phenomenological Humanistic Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. My specialties include but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, life changes, grief and loss, relational difficulties, and agency development.

I work with individuals ages 18 and up. I see symptoms as a request from the psyche to grow -- whether this manifests as depression, anxiety, or just a feeling that you want more from your life or your relationships. Or you may be experiencing a transition, grief, or loss and need support to navigate this change. Therapy creates a space in which healing and growth can happen. I believe humans have a natural, inherent tendency toward health and self-actualization. We are hard-wired to live good and meaningful lives, but sometimes need support to do so.

I help clients live more authentically and develop a greater love for themselves and others. My client-centered sessions are collaborative. Together, we help you gain insight, take action and achieve positive change. I trained at Harvard University (doctoral intern and postdoctoral fellow). In addition to my work with clients, I have taught for several universities such as UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Pepperdine University.

As a licensed psychologist, I have been providing therapy for over 20 years helping individuals and couples to heal, and to create joyful, meaningful lives. Informed by psychological theory and research-supported treatments, such as DBT, and EMDR, as well as alternative methods, such as yoga, spirituality, and mind-body approaches, I will help you access and utilize your own deep wisdom and understanding to address your unique struggles and needs. After treatment, my clients report not only a reduction of symptoms but also an increase in motivation, ease, purpose, and connection.

My passion is working with young to older adults to resolve challenges in living and to build a fulfilled and joyful life. I work with relationship difficulty, anxiety, depression, life transition issues, or posttraumatic stress and I adapt my treatment approach to fit your individual background and desired therapy goals. My therapeutic model is eclectic, drawing mainly on psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavior, and humanistic modalities. Essential skills such as mindfulness, relaxation, and stress management are built into treatment. And I work with you to cultivate a healthy lifestyle, reflecting my belief that physical wellbeing and mental health are inseparable.

I specialize in couples therapy, where I help partners work toward relational repair after infidelity, betrayal, or ongoing conflict. I also work with individuals who want to work through attachment and relationship issues, identity development, spirituality, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy is work that asks a great deal from us, but it also holds potential for meaningful change: to awaken to your own life, to make strides toward repairing broken bonds, and to imagine new possibilities and new ways of being, for yourself and for your relationships.

I love working with adults and older adults. I often work with people on anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulty with life transitions. My approach is supportive, warm, and nonjudgmental. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, drawing on humanistic, existential, and narrative approaches as well as skills-based frameworks such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior behavior therapy (DBT). I work with a feminist, social-justice focused, and antiracist lens to appreciate the ways in which people and their wellbeing are affected by systems of oppression and how this may challenge or connect us in therapy.
