Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Seattle, WA
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, with a particular emphasis on somatic and mindfulness-based therapies, Internal Family Systems/parts-work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
You may be ready to make a change, yet are unsure of which way to move or feel too frozen to take a step. Perhaps it is overwhelming to inhabit your body or revisit the past, you fear that you’ll be flooded by sensations or memories. Maybe a part of you wants to connect with others and another part worries that you'll just be hurt again. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I believe that you have the innate capacity for healing within you. Therapy is a way to cultivate the right conditions for healing seeds to bloom. I aim to create a warm and accepting space - one that can foster insight, growth, belonging, and even joy.

We offer CBT to shift thought patterns, ACT to build acceptance and mindfulness, IFS for deeper self-awareness, and more.
Imagine waking up without that heavy knot in your stomach. You move through your day with clarity, speak up without second-guessing, and finally feel calm in your body and mind.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “What is anxiety and how to overcome it,” you're not alone—and there are answers.

I have additional training in DBT, Internal Family Systems, Art Therapy, Mindfulness, and mostly work with LGBTQIA+ folks.
Hello, I am the owner and Supervisor at Creative Expressions Therapy and I have current availability (Updated March 2025). I believe the therapeutic relationship is invaluable. The systems we currently exist in, perpetuate dispiriting degrees of privilege and oppression for different bodies, which significantly impact how we relate to our selves and our community. I will support you in navigating these systems, to gain insight into the impact it has had, and identify ways to build up and protect your sense of self and improve your relationships. I value humor, equity, creativity, authenticity, and honesty in my work with clients.

Stress management tools such as mindfulness and other creative practices will be utilized in sessions.
Healing through Science and Spirituality. I help talented professionals and creatives discover their life purpose and find meaning. We live in an increasingly complex and stressful world. Many people are suffering under the weight of societal pressures and expectations, which separate us from the heart of what it means to be human living an intentional life. I work with people who struggle to make sense of themselves and their lives. Many have achieved a secure and abundant life, having gained success in careers and fields that provide for their material needs, but their souls are feeling restless and craving real nourishment.

I am also trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience (STAIR) Level 1.
Welcome! I invite you to slow down, look inward, and find the right words that capture your specific challenge.

Using internal family systems (IFS), somatic experiencing (SE), and mindfulness, I specialize in working with BIPOC, AAPI, LGBTQ+, 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, refugees, chronic illness, and activists.
You’re looking for relief and real change. It may appear like you have it all together, but on the inside you feel doubtful, unfulfilled, and stressed. Maybe you’re caught between different cultures and/or identities, and struggling to find your place in the world. You might be carrying the trauma of your past or family and seeing the impacts at work, home, in your body or relationships. Maybe you're deeply worried about the state of the world, or grieving a loss, and don't know how to move forward meaningfully. Even in your free time, you may find it difficult to truly relax and rest, your sense of pleasure and purpose depleted.
