As a cisgender, queer, able-bodied, white woman with ADHD, I have the honor and privilege to work with all human beings.
Acceptance might be the first step to change, but change is hard. I aim to create a supportive, holistic, empowering, and safe setting to process and understand what is specifically challenging for you. Often, my clients feel like they “don’t belong,” stuck in unwanted behaviors or looking to understand themselves better. I believe by attuning compassionately to our bodies and minds, as well as each other, we can sense what needs to change and heal. Also, I consider myself a very real person in the therapy space, which often includes understanding, laughter, radical acceptance, forgiveness, and open and honest communication.

I work with women and men around the issues of trauma and abuse, DV, anxiety, grief, loss, and life transitions.
I believe we are all created for connection in relationship, and that all relationships have the potential to bring great joy and great struggle. Through our therapeutic relationship, by addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy, a process occurs that produces healing, transformation, and growth. My approach to counseling varies, but is rooted in trauma-informed, relational psychotherapy, focusing on key attachment relationships, and exploring the moments, social and cultural constructs, and ideologies that have shaped you.

I will not turn a blind eye to your experiences as a woman , man, person of color; transgendered; queer or homosexual; physically, mentally, or sexually abused; fatherless; veteran; ex-offender; victim and/or perpetrator of domestic violence, or children of offenders, addicts, divorced or mentally ill parents.
Life Happens! Sometimes it helps to have compassionate and non-judgmental support as you work through life issues and transitions. I offer a client centered and holistic therapeutic approach that aims to bring to light the associations between: nutrition/diet; stress; family history; support systems & resources; life experiences; environment; and issues related to current and/or historical oppression; and how YOUR body, mind, and spirit have been reacting. I believe in encouraging and empowering my clients towards achieving the results they seek. I help clients identify and utilize their strengths and to identify and release unhealthy practices or defense mechanisms.

As a proud Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) woman on her own path of unpacking intergenerational trauma, I hold a deep space and calling for (but am not limited to) working with other BIPOC individuals.
I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences, reacquainting yourself from Covid isolation, or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your emotional needs aside in this process, or you just haven’t had the time, desire, understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I’d like to offer a safe space to truly slow down. A space to make for yourself where you can allow yourself to be seen and heard even if just for an hour a week.

I have experience in working with folks with generational trauma, anxiety, complex PTSD, and women 's issues.
I work with people who need a safe space to explore their inner landscapes. Our current world and society is a place where there exists grief, anxiety, and great joy—sometimes all at once! My ideal clients are folks who seek to reroute negative thoughts and behaviors in order to create a life worth living. My ultimate goal is for clients to feel safe and supported in their work with me. I value the relationship with my clients, and that means some humor, kindness, and nudges towards yourself and your goals.

I work with women experiencing issues including: sexuality, sexual shame, relationship concerns, embodiment, spiritual trauma, and women 's issues.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for empowering women to live joyfully inside their bodies through liberation-work and self-compassion. I approach therapy from a systemic, person-centered, feminist, sex-positive, and HAES lens that's rooted in social justice. I understand the ways that oppression and trauma influence how we connect with our bodies and I view coping mechanisms as survival strategies that develop in response to our experiences. I believe there is wisdom in our coping and I enjoy helping clients compassionately attune to their body’s needs and connect to their intuition.

As a therapist, my goal is to help people feel understood when struggling with issues ranging from communication and connection and intimacy and sexuality. My approach is warm, interactive and direct, guiding you on your journey toward self-awareness and fulfillment. I enjoy working with clients who are undergoing life transitions that impact their relationships, self-esteem and are motivated to change. Sex therapy is a safe place to talk about intimacy issues. Some issues could be premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, female /male low libido, sexual pain problems, and anorgasmia.

A passion of mine is working with women , and those who identify outside the dominant sexual, gender, and relational norms.
Immediate openings are available! I work with adult individuals and relationships, treating issues of relational distress, adjustments to life transitions, struggles with anxiety and depression, and identity development. My practice is founded on the belief that every person has a place in their core where they experience clarity, curiosity, confidence, and calm. And yet, life is difficult. Sometimes we need support to get us back into that place of confidence and clarity—or to find it for the first time. My hope is that our work together can serve as a key support system to bring about the change you’re looking for.

I am not currently accepting clients. / You are a high achieving, professional woman , in your 20s or 30s, and something is holding you back. You find yourself struggling to handle everything on your plate and your unresolved internal issues (and family issues) are taking a toll. Perhaps you are struggling in your relationships. You may be searching for a clear path to follow. Or maybe you're trying to understand why you are the way you are and FINALLY break some cycles. You’re looking for a therapist who just gets it and can help you work through your sh!t.

I view human beings as intrinsically worthy, knowledgeable, and creative. Difficult experiences do not define us, but they can affect the way we see ourselves and how we show up in relationships with others. I am passionate about helping people who have undergone traumatic events and challenges reconnect with their bodies, minds, and spirits. I support individuals and couples in addressing trauma, anxiety, life transitions and sexuality. I have a special interest in working with members of the LGBTQ community and with young women who are looking to explore their identity and find safety within themselves.

My experiences as a queer woman of color and an immigrant helps me conceptualize individuals through a global and multicultural lens, where I draw on my own knowledge and am constantly learning through the knowledge of my clients.
NOTE: Not currently accepting clients. Having a space to be ourselves without shame, worry or fear can be a powerful catalyst for healing. We will collaboratively create spaces where we tackle challenges and pain you may be experiencing in your life, notice the functions that these patterns serve, identify inherent strengths, and engage in reflection without judgement. Making the decision to access therapy is in itself a sign of your inherent strength. I hope to help you identify and build on those strengths in order to cope with life experiences.

I am also trained to treat pregnant and postpartum women and their partners, helping them take care of themselves as they adjust to life with babies.
I work with individuals ages 18 and up, as well as couples and parents. I believe symptoms are 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.

How can I find a therapist in Seattle?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
