Choosing to obtain therapy is one of the most important decisions a person will make in their life. Congratulations on deciding to address this important part of your healthcare! Trusting someone with the care of one’s mental health can be frightening. It was frightening for me when I began my own therapeutic journey years ago. Yet, it was the best decision I made in my life… one that influenced my own professional decision to become a licensed mental health therapist. Welcome to my profile!

I understand that it takes courage to seek out help when you are not at your best, so I take your decision to engage in therapy respectfully. I am committed to helping individuals build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My work focuses on targeting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior that interfere with daily functioning. I believe in working collaboratively with individuals to help them gain the insight and coping skills needed to lead a more fulfilling life.

I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

My practice focuses on working with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, adjustment challenges, or communication difficulties. My clients may be struggling with relationship issues, a major life transition, such as divorce or other family changes, or the death of a loved one. Other clients may face the ongoing challenges of living with depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or trauma. My emphasis is on assisting my clients to find hope, direction, and a better path forward, using their own inherent strengths. You deserve to feel supported and empowered. Please note: I am licensed in both WA and CA

I work with guys in tech, mostly software engineers and managers, who struggle with some sort of anxiety &/or depression, often brought on by things like workplace stress, relationship problems, or big life transitions (like having a baby). My typical client leads an engaged life of achievement and focus, and he usually feels on top of things. But then life has come along and hit him with something his well-developed intellect can't quite handle. The result is that he feels stalled and filled with self-doubt - something he is unaccustomed to and often deeply uncomfortable with.

Hi - my name is Sabrina! I am a trauma therapist in the greater Seattle area, specializing in working with adults around topics of childhood trauma/abuse, relationships and attachment.
I believe therapy is a place where the difficult questions can be explored and healing can begin. Life brings all that is unexpected, confusing and extreme. Our experiences often leave us disintegrated and in need of outside help. My work’s focus is to create a space where individuals can explore the why’s and the questions of their story so that they may live a more flourishing and integrated life.

In my experience, things can start getting better fast, long before the problem is solved. Rated in the top 1% of psychotherapists on LinkedIn, I'm warm, practical, experienced & hard-working.

I'm interested in helping make real change, and not just developing interesting insights (although they can be useful too.)

I think deep down we all want spaces where we can be totally real. Where we can say whatever we think or feel and not be judged for it. When we don't have these spaces, we learn to hide in order to protect ourselves. We don't say what we actually think or feel for so long that sometimes we stop knowing ourselves or feeling known by others. We get stuck in patterns that we don't want, but don't know how to get out of. If you're sick of feeling stuck, therapy is a great place to start. Once we make space to know ourselves, change can actually happen.

As we bear witness together to your concern, a path forward emerges.

I tend to move flexibly and responsively to you.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate space for you to re-connect with your whole self (body included!) as well as your strengths, and to process through emotions and experiences that feel challenging to face and sort through on your own. As a black mixed race person of color myself, my racial identity is a lens through which I see the work and how I show up in the therapeutic space. I have a special interest in processing through grief for those who have experienced loss of any kind. I utilize calm, reflective listening, somatic awareness, social justice and systems focus, and a strengths-based approach.
