In Person Therapists in Seattle, WA
Convenient online and in person therapy.
Life’s challenges—whether big transitions, past wounds, or daily stressors—can leave us feeling disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed. Therapy offers a space to process, heal, and rediscover a sense of ease and connection.
My approach is grounded in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based techniques like EMDR and Polyvagal Theory. EMDR is a powerful method that helps the brain process distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity so you can move forward with greater freedom. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, or self-limiting beliefs, EMDR can be a transformative tool in our work together.

I see healing as the process of understanding the patterns that influence our perception of, and how we act within, the world that surrounds us. For many, these patterns might have been protective, at one point in time, though might not be serving our needs in the present. Therapy offers a space to feel seen, heard, and accepted. I believe that the individual is the expert on their life, and I trust their experience. I seek to follow the client while noticing my own curiosity that I have cultivated through schooling and experience working in the field of psychology.

I offer in-person therapy on top of Queen Anne.
I specialize in relationship difficulties with self, friends, family and partners, food and body. These relational strains may leave you feeling stuck, anxious, sad, and defeated. I also focus on the impacts of developmental trauma including neglect and abuse. Together, we may explore your unique inner life and lived history in addition to current socio-cultural considerations. I practice from a relational and interpersonal model, primarily, which means I use our relationship itself as one of the tools to get to know the many parts of you. This process tends to help people grow the understanding needed to make actionable change.

I offer both in person and zoom sessions.
Does it feel like your life isn’t working for you? You’ve done everything the way you were supposed to – but you still feel burned out and discontent. Everyone around you thinks you are doing just fine. But on the inside, you feel empty and isolated. In the past, you always pushed through and made things happen (mostly for everybody else). Now, you’re feeling cynical and not good enough. If you are struggling and wanting to feel connected to your values and purpose in life, I can help.

In Minnesota, I'm currently connecting with new in person and telehealth clients.
I think we all want to live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I know I've had moments where that seemed impossible. I'm here to help people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and lost find their way back to themselves and discover meaning in their lives. I've seen how reconnecting to yourself can turn feelings of doubt and fear into confidence, hope, and creativity.

I offer sessions in-person in Wallingford or Westlake as well as online via telehealth.
If you feel like you're "not enough," let's talk. You may think you're not smart enough, not successful enough, not accomplished enough... or just simply not "good" enough. You may already know those accusations aren't true, but they still just feel so real. Your "not enough" might be spiritual: "I don't see how I fit into the bigger picture." Or, your "not enough" might be based in identity: "I don't know who I really am," or, "No one will love me for who I really am." There are countless reasons people get stuck in feeling like they're "not enough." Whatever your specific reasons are, I want to help you discover your "enough."

Mental health struggles can take so much from us—too many moments of joy, our ability to be present or connect with others. I believe in creating a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for therapy in which each client can show up exactly as they are. I have extensive training and experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as supporting children and teens. I truly love to support neurodivergent folks, particularly around ADHD as I have a lot of clinical and lived experience with it.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, couples, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied awareness. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.

I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, abuse, codependency and relationship issues. I do not pathologize issues, challenges, problems or people. The soul is always seeking expression, not just with joy and happiness, but also through challenges and sorrows. When we honor all aspects of our life stories, healing pathways begin to open up for us.

Counseling is a way to make the world a more inclusive space for individuals with diverse identities. Counseling is also a profound connection between clients and counselors professionally. As a counselor, I am more than privileged to be invited by my clients to have access to their lived experiences and some of their deepest feelings and be able to witness and celebrate their growth. It is paramount for me as a counselor to foster an environment where clients feel that their identities are celebrated and where they can freely express and explore themselves.

I help patients understand themselves better and make meaningful changes. Those can be difficult tasks, and a trusting and cooperative relationship can make all the difference. Careful listening and open communication can give you a deeper understanding of your emotional and relationship life.
I work with people who are struggling in relationships, who are overwhelmed or out of touch with their emotions, and who find themselves stuck in repetitive feelings and experiences.

While I enjoy working with a variety of therapeutic approaches, I am primarily psychodynamic in orientation. This means that I believe that our early environment and experiences have a profound impact on our way of understanding and relating to the world. As adults, we may discover that we are unable to create the lives we want while being constrained by unhelpful internal constructs, feelings, and behaviors stemming from our younger years. My work is also deeply influenced by psychoanalytic thought, including the work of Melanie Klein, Wilfred Bion, and other theorists from the British Object Relations field of study.
