Female Therapists in Seattle, WA

Accepting new clients in late May 2024. I help women "grow the good" and specialize in serving mothers, special needs parents, and those who work in the caregiving professions. My behavioral health services might be a good fit if you're seeking nonjudgmental emotional support while strengthening coping skills and connecting (in ways that work for you) with the natural world.

As a therapist, I partner with clients to create a trusting relationship that fosters healing, personal growth and positive life change. I approach therapy from a relational model allowing the counseling relationship to be a healing vessel for the therapeutic process. Our work is to develop a vision for your life, set clear and meaningful goals, and together move towards personal growth and through healing process. We’ll develop the tools you need to make progress sustainable and transcend challenges standing in your way.

Throughout my life, I have always been drawn to both art and psychology. I believe that art has a unique ability to transcend words and touch the deepest parts of our being. It allows us to express and explore our emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a nonverbal and often cathartic way. Art therapy, as an integrative discipline, embraces this concept and offers a therapeutic space where individuals can find healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.

I see a wide range of clients, although I specialize in childhood trauma and CPTSD, relationships, anxiety, ADHD, and LGBTQ issues. I work with both couples and individuals, as well as children and adolescents. Therapy focus may include relationship conflict, anxiety control, satisfaction in both your personal life and work, focus and motivation, and building a sense of "feeling whole" or "complete." I've helped countless clients move from a place of feeling stuck and dissatisfied, to one of happiness and flourishing. I also offer specialized care to transgender and questioning clients, including transition-related counseling.

People come to therapy for many reasons. When we are in pain, confusion, fear or sadness we seek support and understanding. Sometimes we are going through a difficult transition and just need someone to talk to. Other times, we have specific goals we would like to reach, or coping skills we would like to learn. The therapeutic process is a creative and compassionate practice that is based in the respect and safety of the relationship between the client and the therapist. Challenges are often opportunities for growth, and often lead us to a greater understanding of ourselves.

Beginning therapy is such a brave thing to do. Congratulations on taking this first step. I hope that we can create a space for you that feels supportive and encouraging. A saying that I hear often in sessions is “I’m so broken”, but my experience tells me that couldn’t be further from the truth. It is human nature to try to get our needs met and do the best we can in the moment. So often we are not reacting to things because we are broken, we are reacting because we are simply smart. In therapy we honor those parts and learn new ways of coping that align with your goals and desires.

Are you going through a major life transition, such as a recent move to Seattle or a change in the status of your -or a loved one's-job, relationship, or health? Major transitions in life, whether seen as positive or negative, can stir up a lot of mixed emotions and bring up old issues from the past. I am experienced in helping people during times of confusion, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and struggle with old traumatic injuries. I can help you find compassion, open insight, and create value and meaning from this time of transition.

I am committed to supporting people from diverse backgrounds by affirming and guiding transformation and healing. I help support: Couples & Individuals, First Time Parents, First Generation Migrants, LGBTQIA2S+, Multicultural/Multiracial Couples, Individuals & Families. I work with those struggling with Grief & Trauma, Anxiety, Life Transitions, and Adjustment Disorders. For those that have lost themselves in the chaos and struggle, we work together in finding our center and creating new possibilities.

Are you struggling with a life transition, feelings of insecurity or other emotional pain? Do you desire less conflict or more connection in your relationship? Often, my clients arrive with anxiety, feelings of shame, or are suffering from challenging relationship dynamics. Others, arrive unsure of the exact source of their problem, but know they want more fulfillment. Perhaps you have awareness regarding your issues, but still struggle to interrupt negative patterns or grow beyond reoccurring challenges. If you long to improve your relationship with yourself or others, I would love to work with you.

You are a helper, giver, or fixer who is ready to do the deep work to transform your patterns of perfectionism, overfunctioning, people-pleasing, burnout, depression, and anxiety. You and others around you have put an incredible amount of pressure and expectations on your shoulders. You want to feel more comfortable in your own skin. You want to be honest with yourself and others about who you are, your limitations, and your boundaries. You are ready to care for yourself as one of the many people you care for. You desire to experience life in a more vibrant way, take risks freely, and feel more in charge of your life.

Being a therapist is my passion and I consider it an honor to be able to work with everyone of my clients. My passion for being a therapist come from my own healing journey. I understand what it is like to struggle. I also know what it is like to find peace through healing.

I specialize in the dynamic integration of science-based therapy with the art of client-centered, interpersonal processes.

My approach is rooted in fostering a robust therapeutic relationship built on respect and understanding. Together, we will craft a personalized treatment plan that considers your unique aims, cultural background and identity, as well as your inherent skills and abilities.

I often describe therapy similar to the saying "everyone has baggage". It can be difficult to hold your own baggage while sorting the contents, trying to organize the things inside, or trying to find something you lost. My role is to hold your baggage to allow you the space, time, and understanding to do what you need to with what is inside.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate space for you to re-connect with your whole self (body included!) as well as your strengths, and to process through emotions and experiences that feel challenging to face and sort through on your own. As a black mixed race person of color myself, my racial identity is a lens through which I see the work and how I show up in the therapeutic space. I have a special interest in processing through grief for those who have experienced loss of any kind. I utilize calm, reflective listening, somatic awareness, social justice and systems focus, and a strengths-based approach.

I am an occupational therapist working with all humans on understanding & regulating their own unique sensory system. Most sensory based OT's work with children, but after 7 years of working with young children & their parents, I began to see the importance of supporting neurodiverse adults, especially late diagnosed or undiagnosed adults. I am passionate about working with people to develop an awareness of their processing system for an improved quality of life. I am seeing clients who struggle with attention, energy, sleep, eating, substance use, daily living tasks, emotional regulation, relationships, mental health, and more.

Sometimes our emotions are incredibly difficult to listen to. They are always speaking to us, like messengers trying to relay information, but often there are blockages that keep us from trusting our emotions, or knowing how to truly listen to them. We can quickly talk ourselves out of things that somewhere deep down, we KNOW to be true. I want to help you by providing an environment where all the complexities and parts of you are allowed to show up and have a voice at the table. I will provide a safe space for you to sort through your complex, layered and sometimes confusing emotion - to find your most authentic self.
