Therapists in Washington

Feeling stuck? Maybe you are burnt out, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or grief, and your relationships are suffering. I help people in their 20's and 30's deal with the major transitions of this time of life: shifting family dynamics, partner relationships, health crises, and the scramble to actualize an authentic and meaningful life. Sometimes we think we should be able to figure it out on our own, or that our problems aren’t as bad as they could be - and we find ourselves hesitant to take the next step. If you are brave enough to give yourself the gift of support, I will meet your vulnerability with compassion and curiosity.

I believe in the importance of helping individuals seeking to show up authentically in all parts of their lives. Through compassion, non-judgmental guidance, and by challenging patterns where you find yourself stuck, we are able to promote personal growth and change. I work with individuals and couples to better understand their boundaries and how to strengthen their ability to communicate them. My approach to counseling is informed by CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and EMDR. EMDR therapy is an effective therapy method that supports healing from trauma, ingrained negative core beliefs, and other distressing life experiences.

Many of my clients are successful and thriving in ways that people may see on the outside, but their inner experiences of themselves and how they are in relation to the world and the people in their lives are often one of disconnection and dissatisfaction. Many of these feelings come from a variety of sources such as: anxiety, depression, a disordered relationship with food or one's body, and an estranged experience with oneself. People who want to develop a sense of self-awareness and understanding often find working with me beneficial.

As we face the challenges of life, we can sometimes hit a "perfect" storm. Old issues along with our unique personalities can collide with the stresses and circumstances of our current lives. This collision can feel overwhelming. Psychotherapy can be a useful tool to find a way through these difficult waters. I am a psychotherapist with a practice that serves individual adults and couples who are at all stages of life. Issues common to my practice are anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress management, grief and loss, work related stress, issues of life transitions, trauma, relationship issues and chronic pain issues.

For over 20 years, I've worked with individuals and couples struggling with relationship problems, challenging life transitions like mid-life crises, job stress, grief and loss, and living authentically. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, stress and chronic health issues. You're not alone in your struggle once we begin to work together. I listen deeply to really understand you as we work to transform your issues. I offer sessions in my Edmonds office, by phone, or by video conference.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with relational and individual emotional difficulties stemming from childhood neglect and/or abuse. I will show you how our brain and nervous system works to release long-held dysfunctional patterns of anxiety and depression. You will learn skills for Mindfulness and sensation awareness in order to release of the shock, grief, abandonment and shame that are often the root cause of depressive and hyperactive nervous systems.

Your uncomfortable symptoms may be what send you to therapy, but they can also serve you. You may feel overwhelmed or confused, and yet this is also an invitation for hope, curiosity, insight, and self-compassion. It is an opportunity to be able to access some of the deepest realms of yourself, to heal, and to move forward with greater confidence in your life. I work with individuals of all ages, and provide support for people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adoption, trauma, body image and eating disorders, life transitions, individuation, co-dependence, overall work and family stress, and multicultural issues.

Therapy works. Whatever concerns have brought you here, you can make the changes necessary to find greater happiness and satisfaction in yourself and your relationships with others. This requires dedication, hard work and a willingness to explore behavioral patterns with the support of a skilled caring therapist. As we walk this path together, you will develop a greater understanding of self and acquire the tools needed to meet your goals. Resolving the issues that lie beneath the symptoms you are experiencing, will allow you to live the rewarding life you deserve.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

I help people who are stuck figure out what is going on, understand it, and then move boldly forward towards a more fulfilling life experience. I specialize in working with clients who experience anxiety, depression and ADHD issues across the lifespan. We have all struggled. It's learning how to move through these challenges WELL that is the focus of my work. I also have advanced training in LENS Neurofeedback which is available at both of our Novo Life locations.

Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

You might be sad, depressed, stressed, anxious, scared, overwhelmed with it all. Maybe your relationship is hurting or you're feeling stuck in your life. Maybe you're dealing with a death loss or life transition. You don't have to go through your current life challenges alone. As a psychotherapist & grief coach for 38+ years, I've helped thousands of people move out of emotional pain and toward happier lives. If you're ready for growth and transformation on your journey toward wholeness, I can help. If you're curious and want to try something new, I provide individual and group ketamine sessions to gently catalyze your process.

I'm a depth psychotherapist who facilitates healing and transformation through gentle but honest mutual work with emotions, behaviors, imagery, grounding, memory, story, presence, and hope. It's an honor and a privilege to be a partner in my client's journey toward deep inner healing. In my practice, I help individuals and couples dive beneath the surface issues, discover the underlying sources of distress, and re-emerge into a more fulfilling life.

Anxiety, stress, and depression; grief and loss; relationship, work, and family issues; a lack of meaning; trauma, fear, and spiritual crises… are sources of our psychological pain as well as symptoms of incipient growth. It's within the struggling and growing that I may be able to help. I've experienced some considerable wounds in my time and have altered my relationship with, and often overcome them. This usually involved periods of deep reflection; changing how I perceived things; and ultimately, a change in myself. Thus, I’m able to relate to others and accompany them on their journeys in a compassionate, healing manner.
