Domestic Abuse Therapists in Seattle, WA
Do you ever feel lonely even when you are not alone? You might have friends, a job, responsibilities, and still feel misunderstood, out of place, or like you're performing in every room you enter. Forming close friendships or romantic relationships may feel harder than it “should.” You may overthink conversations, replay interactions, or quietly wonder why connection feels easier for everyone else. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, loneliness, social stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and. much more. Together, we'll slow things down and make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck!

If you're feeling anxious, stuck in your head, or constantly second-guessing yourself—you're not alone.

Therapy works best when it is tailored to your needs. My job is to provide a safe and welcoming place for you to show up just as you are, to feel heard and supported, and to work through the issues that are causing distress. Sometimes we know why we are feeling what we are feeling and sometimes we don’t—both are great places to start therapy. Together we can explore what is happening in your life and find solutions that best suit you. I enjoy working with teens and adults on a wide range of issues and most recently spent time working with adolescents as a school-based therapist in middle school and high school.
