In Person Therapists in Seattle, WA
Being human is complicated: relationships are both beautiful and heartbreaking, our inner parts are often in conflict, and many of us are navigating identities that don't fit society’s norms. And yet, I believe nothing is fundamentally wrong with you or your relationships. The parts of you that feel stuck, hurt, or are hard to look at aren't problems to get rid of. They're trying to help. And there's usually a gift inside, once we learn what they've been protecting. I'm a queer, nonbinary, non-monogamous, sex-positive therapist who's spent a decade in the communities I now serve.

Waitlist for new clients
Currently providing in-person and online appointments, for both couples & individuals.
I specialize in couples therapy, where I help partners work toward relational repair after infidelity, betrayal, or ongoing conflict. I also work with individuals who want to work through attachment and relationship issues, identity development, spirituality, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy is work that asks a great deal from us, but it also holds potential for meaningful change: to awaken to your own life, to make strides toward repairing broken bonds, and to imagine new possibilities and new ways of being, for yourself and for your relationships.

With the pressures of modern society, it makes sense that many people feel more lonely and isolated than ever. For some, loneliness takes the form of physical reclusion. For others, it might look like socializing while still feeling disconnected, alone, or misunderstood. As a neurodivergent adult and former high-performing, shy, and anxious child, I prioritize creating space for non-conforming communication styles. I work with youth and adults navigating social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, burnout, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. All identities are welcome, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+.

Currently, I am seeing clients both in-person and online.
Relationships can be hard, especially the parenting one. My style of therapy is based on the latest research in how the brain (neuroscience geek!), body, and emotions work together. For 20 years, I've partnered with individuals and couples, facilitating thriving relationships: parent-child, partners, and co-parenting couples. The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. I can help you explore relational wounds and teach you new skills to experience more satisfying relationships. Let's talk and see if we're a good fit.

Life can leave us feeling stuck, caught between what has been and what is still taking shape. Seasons of change, uncertainty, or transition can feel disorienting, making it difficult to feel grounded in yourself or connected to your own story. I support individuals navigating these experiences, including children, adolescents, young adults, college students, military families, and those who have grown up across cultures or are exploring new roles and identities. Together, we work to notice patterns, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with a stronger sense of direction and self-trust.

I offer both online and in-person sessions, Tues-Fri, 10am-4pm.
Limited Availability — Perhaps you are navigating a significant life event or feeling the heavy weight of old family patterns that no longer work for you. You might be showing up as the 'peacekeeper' or the 'overachiever' in your relationships—yet these roles leave you feeling "not enough" and exhausted. I believe these patterns—whether they manifest as anxiety, perfectionism or the need to please—began as necessary, protective strategies for survival and belonging. Together, we will slow down, explore those old protections while cultivating new ways that build true connection, confidence, and clarity.

At Sequoia, I work with young people ages 14 - 25 years old. I appreciate supporting those who want to: increase their self-worth; experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them; improve their relationships with their family, friends, or significant others; examine the relationship between past events and current patterns; make changes in their behaviors that are consistent with their goals and values; and/or navigate oppression with more self-respect and advocacy skills. I have supported people of many identities, including people who identify as queer, NB, trans, POC, and neurodiverse.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
