Therapists Beginning With P in Washington

I am passionate about relationships, both the ones we have with others and the one we have with ourselves. I see healthy relationships as foundational to healthy lives. As a couple and individual counselor, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to identify your strengths, learn ways to productively deal with life's challenges, find hope, and discover new approaches to assist in personal and relational growth. I view people holistically and strive to understand your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self.

I have been in private practice in Seattle for thirty years. i have extensive training in numerous therapeutic modalities including client-centered therapy, interpersonal/relational therapy, gestalt therapy, somatic oriented therapy, various approaches to the use of dreams in therapy (including Jungian). I also have extensive training in several different approaches to couples therapy. My practice consists of individuals, couples and groups.

We provide expert care for couples issues, intimacy struggles, sex therapy, infidelity, sexual compulsivity, sex addiction, and trauma. We create an intimate space where both partners can share their experience and feelings in a way that fosters understanding and compassion. Couples need a sense of shared meaning to make sense of and move through difficult or painful circumstances as lovers. We believe couples can reignite a deep sense of connection if they can get in touch with their fears, needs, desires, wounds and share these vulnerable parts of themselves with their loved one.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious or suffer from physical pain? You don't have to put up with a lower quality of life. Your old self is still there and you can feel happier and more satisfied.

Pacific Mental Health is dedicated to serving the mental health needs of the Greater Seattle area. If you're looking for a new counselor or a fresh perspective in life, our team of psychotherapist can help you achieve the goals you're looking for.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Our philosophy is based in healing. Many things can happen in one's life which can derail you from your true purpose and meaning. We see psychotherapy as a means to help you re-identify who you are, what your goals are, and how, by combining principles of your body, spirit, and mind, we can in a collaborative manner, find health for you as you define it. Though it is indeed trite to say, it is also true that life is a journey. I hope that with my 20 years of experience, I can help guide you to your true path.

Trauma, loss, identity + aging impact people in different ways. Do you often feel detached or numb? Do you avoid thinking about the past or self-medicate? Are you concerned about your child? Do you often find yourself in difficult relationships? Are you concerned about your memory? Do you feel sad or anxious a lot? Are you "stuck" in the same pattern? Do you have trouble trusting people? Are you irritable most of the time? Do you feel like you do not know yourself or your purpose? Do you feel incomplete or want meaning in life? If you answered yes to any, I believe that I could be a good fit for you.

Understanding and dealing with the effects of your own or someone else's substance use is hard. It helps if you work with some one who has the professional and personal experience to address the issues associated with alcohol or other drug, gambling or codependency struggles. If you think you may have a problem, need a substance use disorder or codependency assessment, have completed treatment and need recovery support I can help. Feelings of isolation, anxiety, sadness, anger, excessive worry or fear related to your own, a family member or friends compulsion with alcohol, drugs or gambling, are common and treatable. There is hope!

I believe in the inherent ability of an individual to change and heal. Therapy can be a path for that healing journey. I always keep in mind your unique set of needs and comfort level so the therapeutic environment feels as safe as possible. The approach I use integrates the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of each of us, a holistic understanding that body and mind is not separated. My intention is to empower you to embrace new coping tools to foster success and discover greater life possibilities. I provide individual and group psychotherapy.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that the client steers the direction. Internal motivation and a willingness to ask yourself the difficult questions are essential to success. The beauty is that the power lies in your hands at all times. I am happy to help facilitate the process and smooth the path along your way. I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (both the original and radically open subsets), holistic health, humanistic approaches, and existential approaches.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. Perhaps you're tired of anxiety keeping you up at night or feel like depression is hindering you from living your life to your full potential. I enjoy working with adults who may feel trapped in a cycle of anxiety/depression or just feeling stuck in the monotony of every day life. Some issues I commonly work with clients on are: pregnancy/new parenting stress, career challenges, academic stress, alcohol use, relationship challenges, trauma.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Mary Oliver / In most of our lives, there isn’t space for everything we want to be & become. Frustrations & anxieties arise when we feel we aren’t living our best life or have forgotten what thriving feels like. Yet our parts that have been called unworthy, often carry our greatest strengths & giftings. Wherever you are in your journey, it is an honor to walk alongside you. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you're continuing work from before, each session is attuned to your specific goals & needs.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, lonely or not good enough? You are not alone. In fact, females are twice as likely to experience depression than males. Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, parenting stress, relationship issues or body image, you can feel better. The more we realize our power and our right to set boundaries, value ourselves and choose the path of our life, the more happiness we cultivate.

Are you searching for a safe place to process, heal, or collaborate on a plan to feel better? Not sure where to start? Therapy does not have to feel so daunting! My goals are to reduce barriers, facilitate connection, and support your self-exploration, growth, and healing. I am here to be a listener, a guide, and a support. Sometimes that means holding space for very big feelings. Other times, it’s offering an alternative perspective or finding humor amidst the darkness. I approach life and work with a mixture of depth and lightheartedness. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I work with clients seeking growth, integration and change in how they experience their lives, both past and present. When a painful event or memories influence how we interpret our lives, we can often find ourselves stuck in patterns of avoiding, numbing, overworking, obsessing, etc. Despite our best efforts to push through, we start getting signals that something is off and that a deeper issue could be the cause. These signals can present as any range of symptoms (ie anxiety, depression, irritability) or relational difficulties, that sometimes gently, and often times urgently, tell us that we need care.
