First Choice Health | FCH Therapists in Seattle, WA

Are you tired of mistreating the people you love? Don't you wish you could change? - Do you often find yourself irritable and angry at the people around you? - Ready to lash out and get upset even at the smallest reason? You are not alone! Many people are in similar shoes. There is hope! Anger management, learning to respond differently to situations that make you upset don't have to be difficult. It can be eye-opening; you will learn a great deal about yourself and it can be fun. I offer individual therapy for issues regarding relationships and anger.

So you’ve made it this far which lets me know you are brave. If you are ready to explore your emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit your full potential, get in the way of your relationships, or keep you stuck then you are in the right place. There are many things we can do on our own, but true self-discovery and positive, enduring change is more likely to occur within the context of a caring and committed therapeutic relationship. Together we can pay close attention to what’s bothering you, and to what you need, so that you can begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who might be struggling to make sense of the complicated world that we live in. Despite our connectivity, it seems that we live in a time in which individuals and families are more isolated than ever before. I truly believe that we all need and desire a village — a network of support and care to help us when needed. It is my aim to be that extra form of support. I am here to help individuals and families navigate the more difficult hurdles and to find ways to work towards creating more peaceful, authentic, and connected lives.

As a trauma therapist, I believe that personal growth and transformation is vital to the human experience, and that sometimes we need support through this process. Therapy is embarking on a journey, and you are the hero of your story. In meeting with you where you are at in your journey, I will help you to develop your own set of skills to help you through your daily experiences. I also encourage approaching challenges with vulnerability and self-compassion and will assist in practicing these areas in our sessions. Even though painful experiences are inevitable, I believe that suffering does not have to hold us back from living.

Lashon specializes within the areas of anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. Lashon believes that our family and social interactions have influence as we fall into unhealthy and sometimes very comfortable patterns. Exploring your communication style and how you create relationships, Lashon will help to identify the areas where you feel stuck to begin the change process for an improved quality of living. A client who understands and participates in their care, works in partnership to hopefully achieve their desired outcome(s).

As your therapist, I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative as we work together to help you overcome the obstacles of depression, anxiety, trauma, adversity, and and other life stressors. While I have a special interest in working with teenagers and young adults, I am open to working with anyone age 16 to late adulthood. I strive to be culturally-sensitive and am open to working with people from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals.
