In Person Therapists in Seattle, WA
Burnt out and overstretched by the deluge of modern life? Trying to manage doing and having it all but not sure what “it all” even means? Maybe you feel stuck - no matter how successful you may look on paper you still feel like something is missing or out of place. You’re doing the best you can right now and you’ve got a hunch that maybe life could feel better. I'm here to help you increase awareness of where your emotional patterns may be holding you back rather than helping you out. My goal is to empower you to identify the choice you have in responding to challenging emotions and experiences in ways that best meet your needs.

I approach my therapeutic work with an emphasis on relationship-building, playfulness, and respect. Rooted firmly in evidenced-based treatment approaches, my clients and I then collaborate, designing goals and adapting treatment to best fit an individual's needs. I aim to provide trauma-informed care which includes both an understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and body as well as the ongoing trauma of being in a marginalized community. I am committed to providing antiracist and anticolonial, Queer and Trans affirming, and neurodiverse affirming care.

Everyone is welcome in my office; I am honored to work with and witness folks from all walks of life.

Together, we will manage feelings stirred up by isolation, loneliness, anger, self-criticism, and low self-esteem. I use my expertise to teach you to handle anxiety, anger, and depression. Clients often rediscover childhood creativity and make quick progress. Why pay high psychiatrist fees when you can see a certified psychoanalyst for less and achieve better results?

I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.

You feel stuck and overwhelmed. When you look at your life, part of you thinks you should be happy, satisfied, and dealing with whatever comes your way with more ease but the truth is you feel lost. Life doesn’t feel the way you thought it would and you wonder if this is just how things are always going to be. Even if you don’t know exactly what is wrong, you know something needs to change. Whether you’re going through a major transition, struggling in relationships, grieving the loss of someone or something, or just feeling stuck, you want things to get better...and keeping a gratitude journal just isn't cutting it.

What are EMDR Intensives? No one wants trauma work to be ongoing for years. Intensives are a trauma sensitive approach to accelerate the trauma healing process from a weekly model where changes are slower due to time limitations, scheduling issues & simply life getting in the way. Think about an EMDR Intensive as the brain surgery of therapy. Intensives condense several sessions together so you have the possibility of completing a goal in one sitting. With fewer interruptions, you get where you want to be in your healing journey in a fraction of the time.

I help individuals and couples navigate unresolved issues related to anxiety, trauma, stressful work environments, burnout, difficult life transitions, perfectionism, and relational challenges. Appearing like you "have it all together” can look so easy on the outside, when really you’re struggling inside but feel you can’t break down because others are counting on you and you’ve set high expectations for yourself. If this is you, I get it. I’ve been there and sometimes it can feel impossible to get off the hamster wheel that has been set in motion. Or maybe you're a couple who is needing extra help in your relationship.

I offer sessions in person and via Telehealth from the comfort of your own home.
Being human is both beautiful and hard. Along with joy and happiness, we can feel anxious, depressed or experience other forms of emotional distress. Together, we will investigate what your experiences of grief, loneliness, isolation, and anxiety may be trying to tell you about your life and where it may be possible to change these conditions to find more joy and happiness. We will explore larger questions about what it means to be human. As a therapist at Self Space, I seek to create a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood so that you can have the courage to look inward and discover what may be holding you back.
