Life Coaching Therapists in Seattle, WA

This time has been isolating and life alternating to say the least. Many of us are left with a feeling of overwhelm as we are separated from one another and cannot participate in the lifestyle routines that once helped us to feel grounded. I have been working with many clients this year to find a source of balance and inner peace when so much of the world has shut down and become unavailable to us. From anxiety, depression and Pandemic PTSD to low motivation and deflation. Feelings of isolation, loneliness and despondency are a few of the many issues I work with in my clients at the moment. Let me help you build your new world!

Are you feeling stuck? What's getting in the way of living a satisfying life , one with heart and meaning? You may be coming to therapy because of a new development or something very old, you may not even know what it is. You may also be adding to your burden by judging your self unfairly. But there is hope, therapy can usher in exciting transformation. When we can embrace the gifts that come with challenges, old fears lose their power. I deeply enjoy helping clients explore/work through difficulties with the purpose of breaking old patterns and intentionally creating a new path forward. Healing and growth is possible for you too.

Welcome. In your search for assistance, experience & effectiveness matter. Mine is an interactive style; & the method I use is motivational and is well-researched. In respecting what is already working, we will focus both on what is going well in your life and where to catalyze your efforts for desired change. The goals may vary; but sharpening perception, connecting more deeply with self and revisiting old messages that interrupt optimal functioning are some common goals. I have worked in Seattle since 1985, working primarily with couples & women who are attracted to a holistic, humanist approach.

They have a lot of insight, but still struggle with making changes or feeling as good as they can. Let me help you to remember and accentuate your inner wisdom and resilience.

Hello! If I become your therapist we’re not merely doing talk therapy. My goal is for you to be optimal. To learn yourself, see your patterns, understand who you are and work with the broken parts of yourself. We'll face trauma, rewrite it and rework it. In doing so, you'll create a loving relationship with yourself and improve your relationships with others. Research shows the relationship between the client and therapist is the highest indicator of success. I aim to be your ally, your reminder, your mirror. I can be direct but I am also warm. I believe in therapy and I believe in you.

Life is way too short to feel like your best isn't good enough. Too short to fear you will not be accepted as you are and feel as though you have to live in your own shadow. You do not have to avoid certain people, places, or feelings to feel in control of your body. Could you be holding yourself back from being your best self? Kind of like self-sabotage? Do you have difficulty trusting others or building bonds out of fear they are just going to leave you? This could lead to experiencing difficulty maintaining any type of relationship.

I believe each individual has a special gift to give. Sometimes this gift is clear to a person, but in many of us it takes self-discovery to bring out our innate gifts, which ultimately provide meaning and purpose in our lives.

My responsibility is to provide career guidance to students and adults. I play a critical role helping clients clarify their interests, values, skills and needs.

Life bring challenges to all of us. I am Passionately committed to providing emotional support and tools to my clients.

The struggles we find ourselves in can over time bring us closer to the life we truly want to create for ourselves.

I believe that when you have compassion for yourself, a better understanding of your motivations, and a safe place to process your feelings, you can make positive changes and reclaim your mental and physical health.
