Therapists in Woodinville, WA

With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I help individuals and couples discover, create, and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. However, I have worked with many mental health issues over the years and frequently work with stress, addiction, motivation, intimacy issues, family conflict, life changes/adjustments, grief, communication issues, emotional regulation, parenting, self-esteem, and personal growth and discovery. I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, couples and families.

You desire living life according to your values, goals, passion, and love, but for some reason you feel stuck in love/relationships/sex/career. Through a variety of coaching options, I can help you walk through the changes you want to make to rock your fierce life. Whether you're finally ready to commit to loving relationships but don't know where to start, or you need some coaching to work through ending a marriage, or moving on after loss... I've got you.

Many people say life doesn't go according to plan. We all know that to be true. Life goes up and down with many bits and pieces that make our story. As we are going through our life we may not understand or want parts of our story that entail grief and pain. YOUR story is what makes you, what has happened in your life, and what hasn't happened in your life. Many of us tend to have expectations of who we are supposed to be and how to navigate life, that we may forget to live life. Life isn't about pushing through, dread and pain. It's about the hope that pain and loss can be grieved and change can happen in your heart.

Hypnosis uses the power of the mind to take back control of the thoughts and beliefs that are getting in the way of well-being and success. This safe and effective process also allows you to clear the obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your fullest potential. Whether you are deciding to go for that new job or you'd like to simply change old habits and limiting beliefs, give hypnosis a try and get results.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

If you or someone close to you has lost a loved one to death, sickness, or the ending of a relationship, you know how difficult it can be to readjust to life without them. I know on both a personal and professional level how difficult, confusing, scary, and lonely these changes can be. My hope in working with people through therapy is to provide a safe place to process loss while acknowledging the impact loss has on individuals and families. I find it an honor to work with those who are looking for ways to "move forward" without "moving on".

Life can be painful and confusing sometimes. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or challenging life changes. Maybe you are grieving the loss of someone, or some part of your life...feeling alone and afraid to take the next step. lt might be time to get a different perspective on your problems so that you can start to feel the relief you are seeking and move forward. I will work carefully with you to uncover the basis for your distress, reexamine your expectations and choices, then explore new ways of experiencing your life that make sense to you.

If you are viewing this page, you have already stepped out on the courageous journey of discovery and healing.

I can help you understand what has happened in your story and how to transform some of your stuck or painful places into new ways of being that create freedom and joy. We will explore both your brokenness and your strengths, freeing you to find, love and be your best self.

Our 2-3 week Catalyst program is one of the most unique counseling programs available in our area.

Applying Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (research-based approach: iceeft.com), I collaborate with all couples (both heterosexual and same sex couples) to reverse negative cycles and find and strengthen your attachment bond. Couples therapy can often help whether you're wanting to start off together on solid footing or have been long caught in conflict or distant, parallel lives, yearning to find a way out of a downward spiral to connection again. In the process of our work, issues such as recent or past affairs, unresolved loss or trauma, medical, emotional or other challenges may come to be met together.

I believe that you are the expert on your lived experience, and that I am your support – helping you achieve success and navigate challenges as we work towards your treatment goals. We will work together to identify your strengths, and areas of improvement that will set you on the road to achieve the personal, professional, and relational ideals.

We experience many changes and challenges, such as relocation, growing within relationships, parenthood, or changes in education, career or employment status. Loss comes in many forms, and grief looks different for each individual. Therapy is a way to navigate these challenges, to grow self-awareness and coping skills, and to find meaning in the unexpected, while exploring the external and internal factors that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Being vulnerable and feeling hopeless in a grief journey can be a vulnerable experience. I have witnessed many individuals’ emotional, relational, and spiritual struggles and their personal process of healing. With a compassionate stance, I will help you perceive yourself courageous for being vulnerable, both in restoring broken relationships and walking in the journey to find fulfillment in life. I have helped individuals, couples, and families work through emotional struggles such as grief and trauma, parenting related challenges as well as relational and communication issues in marriages and families.

New Clients Warmly Welcomed! With a culturally responsive, client-centered, anti-racist, intersectional and liberation focused approach, I will respectfully come alongside you in exploring healing & growth for your wellbeing. My strengths include years of work with folx navigating relationships, anxiety, family dynamics, depression, ancestor work, grief of all kinds, life transitions, trauma processing (developmental, complex, sexual), creative blocks, attachment wounds, integration of psychedelic experiences, addiction, burnout, perfectionism, sexuality, gender expression, internalized oppression, spirituality and self discovery.

Cultivating meaning in our life and connections with our loved ones serves as the cornerstones in discovering growth, purpose and happiness within our lives. As a trauma informed systemic relational therapist, I use narrative therapy, IFS, couples therapy, EMDR and mindfulness to assist clients working through life transitions, challenges, relationship/family/parenting issues, trauma, anxiety, depression and grief. I am dedicated to offering therapy that is inclusive and empathetic, as well as offering care to clients of systemically oppressed communities. I want to offer a safer environment for all. Accepting new clients

Sometimes we encounter hardships that seem too overwhelming or painful to manage. These struggles may occur in marriage, family relationships, parenting, at work, or coping with every-day life. They can be destabilizing, leaving us feeling hopeless and helpless. I believe these uncomfortable emotions can often be a window of opportunity to look deeper into what has happened, our role in it, and our reaction to it. Within these moments, we can unravel our own inner wisdom to help us heal and grow.

We all want to be seen and understood and at the same time are afraid of what we and others will find. We don't trust ourselves or our decisions. We suffer from anxiety, depression, traumas and a myriad of other relational issues. In counseling we learn to understand ourselves and others by telling our stories well. As a greek philosopher once said, "An unexamined life isn't worth living". When we learn to examine ourselves with curiosity, compassion, and truth our life becomes clear hopeful and fullfilling.

I provide a combination of evidence-based and relational therapies to provide individuals, couples, and families the best possible outcomes toward their goals. Combining compassion and information to help people identify the specific obstacles in their lives that hold them back from being satisfied and content in their lives, I help them decide on a plan of action to effect the change in their life that they desire. My goal is to provide you with the tools you need and work together to learn how to effectively implement them and utilize them for life.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed while navigating questions of faith, deconstruction, or religious trauma, and looking for clarity and peace? When you’re questioning the beliefs you grew up with or struggling to make sense of a traumatic religious experience, it can feel like the ground underneath you is giving way. Maybe you disagree with a key doctrine or you had a painful experience. Perhaps you've left your faith community. It’s lonely and frightening to not feel like there is a safe place for you to figure things out, where you will be heard, understood, and accepted as you are. You’re anxious, confused, and exhausted.
