Domestic Abuse Therapists in Seattle, WA
We are living through a period of accelerating change, chronic uncertainty, external instability, and unrelenting pressure to perform. You may present yourself as composed, capable, and highly functional while privately carrying anxiety, fatigue, self-doubt, existential confusion, questions of purpose, or the fear of unraveling. When the split between outward competence and sustained internal strain prolongs, the result may be burnout, disconnection, relationship distress, and the gradual loss of one’s center. Over time, it may begin to feel as though the very life you have worked hard to maintain is no longer fully your own.

I specialize in individual and couples therapy. I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression and self worth. I have experience working with teenagers and adults.

I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world.

You are not a problem to be solved. I believe we are each evolutionarily designed for growth and change. In the right container and supportive environment, you have the potential to understand yourself better than anyone else, to access your own insight, and to know what will help. My role as a therapist is to be a fellow traveler in the room as you navigate the session. I can point out moments of interest, places of frozenness, and potentially useful signs, and support your own innate creativity in meeting the story of your life.

If you feel like giving up, stuck in resistance, and maybe feel painful effects of trauma, abuse, or neglect, please know that it is possible to get your life back.

I have a passion for working with people experiencing life transitions, including divorce or loss, forming new step families, co-parenting, or struggling with parenting concerns. My approach is to explore problems systemically, viewing each client within the context of the world around them. In therapy sessions we will explore trans-generational patterns of behavior that exist within you, and within your family of origin and your family of choice.

I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

I support families, couples and individuals nurture the capacity for honest self reflection, discovery, discernment and change. Beyond the initial reason for engaging in therapy, I often help people and their loved ones explore the underlying patterns in behaviors, relationships and life engagement that hinder growth, satisfaction and peace. Together we create an environment where you can safely address the situations, challenges, and often pain that brought you and your family to counseling while learning skills, tools, techniques and approaches to support you and your family outside of therapy.
