Life Coaching Therapists in Seattle, WA

*Availability is currently limited.* You've overcome a lot already in your life . The people in your life consider you successful and admire how far you've come. You are a "pattern changer" in your family of origin. But you are ready for even more ease and joy. My clients are smart and successful and want to integrate deeper calm, clarity and courage into their lives. 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.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfans or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

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. I was trained as a therapist and a dietitian. My training and experience equips me to help you achieve your health goals.

I believe a strong connection built on trust is at the heart of therapy and life coaching and that this is more likely to help lead you towards recovery, personal growth and achievement of your therapeutic goals and successful outcomes in your life . Through dialogue and collaborative spirit we will work together to identify goals that can help you to a more rewarding life experience.

Reaching out for help is certainly not easy, and whatever you are going through, I'm here to support. It is my goal to provide you tools to not only reduce the symptoms you and your loved ones may be experiencing, but also identify the root causes for long lasting change. As a relational therapist, the clients I support are families who are navigating the challenges of having tweens, teens, or young adults as well as couples who are struggling to communicate. I also love working with women who are navigating life transitions, experiencing symptoms of ADHD/anxiety, or are struggling in their relationships.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child, Adolescent, and Family treatment from Seattle Pacific University (2008) and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University (2001). I have been a Licensed Psychologist in WA since 2010, and I am paneled with most insurance carriers. I have practiced in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, public school systems, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and mental health agencies. I view my primary role as providing a safe and contained environment where individuals can gain stability, increase insights into themselves, and develop more positive coping strategies.

Have life events caused you to pause and reevaluate? Are you moving through the loss and uncertainty of change? Do you seek more satisfaction in your work? Through coaching , we’ll explore what’s most important to you. We’ll identify patterns that keep you from achieving your goals and practices to transform them. We’ll build upon your strengths to create the future you desire. Areas of focus include career (launch or pivot, showing up powerfully in current roles, navigating organizational dynamics, etc.) and life 's challenges (loss or change, building confidence and ease, improving relationships, etc.) Often coaching supports both!

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!

My practice leans toward working with clients who are living with the effects of trauma, struggling with anxiety, and/or those who are searching for a life with more meaning and purpose. For trauma survivors, areas of focus include: understanding what healing can mean for you, integrating nervous system relaxation techniques, improving relationships – with self and others, decreasing that inner critic, managing emotional flashbacks, incorporating self-compassion, and integrating self-healing resources. If you are living with anxiety or are hoping to create an emotionally balanced life , my primary platform is mindfulness.

I specialize in uncovering the subconscious beliefs that dictate and shape your thoughts, feelings, behaviors. We all have subconscious blueprints that unconsciously construct our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. These blueprints directly control how we think, feel, and act. Thus, your potential to experience happiness, purpose, and loving relationships can only be accomplished by identifying and then re-writing these subconscious narratives. Do you want to learn what’s holding you back from living life fully? I am here to help you reach your greatest potential.

I enjoy working with adults who are navigating complex life transitions. I also appreciate working with creative individuals., assisting them with managing anxiety and depression, and setting goals. I support individuals in exploring new ways to cope with challenging situations and relationships. I see therapy as an active and reflective partnership, a safe place to find support and learn tools for living. I provide Clinical Group and Individual Supervision to Social workers pursuing Licensure in WA State.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and behavior change, I will help you identify and implement the changes you need to reduce your suffering and truly thrive. While you can't control what life throws at you, you can improve your ability to respond to the present moment in a skillful way, find your balance again and get back up on your feet. From a present, strengths-based perspective, we can look ahead and explore where you would like the path ahead of you to lead. I will walk alongside you on that path to celebrate what we uncover and to support you through any obstacles you may encounter along the way.

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.

What do you want to change today? Perhaps you'd like to change a feeling, a habit, or a pattern of life that no longer serves you. Do you want to shift your mindset and achieve more from life ? Maybe make a life change or believe in yourself more! Learn to access your own wisdom and inner clarity and make decision-making fun. Hypnotherapy and change coaching are powerful methods for supporting you to change, so you can become who you really were meant to be.

Perhaps you are struggling in a relationship, not able to communicate, or stuck in negative patterns. Drifting apart, you yearn for intimacy and being desired.
