Therapists in Washington

I work with individuals, couples, children, youth and families. My approach comes from a humanistic and systemic perspective, situating each individual's experiences within the context of family relationships and societal and cultural influences. I am particularly sensitive to the ways each individual's identity in regards to gender, age, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, class background, disability, and country of origin influences the messages they receive from society and the way they think and feel about themselves. I prioritize attuning and collaborating with each client and utilize playful and embodied approaches

I am passionate about helping people better understand their bodies and sexuality to empower them in their intimate relationships. By gaining knowledge of and comfort with ourselves, we can enjoy a deeper sense of bonding and pleasure in sexual relationships. Whether you are looking to improve your connection to your body or your relationship with your partner(s), I am here to support your journey. I believe sexual health and pleasure are fundamental to both personal well-being and fulfilling relationships. We will collaborate to help you develop a sexual life that gives you joy, pleasure, a sense of connection, and an authentic identity.

I provide a safe, supportive environment for you to explore the areas in your life in which you are struggling. We all have challenges, and, at some point, we are ready to experience lasting change and healing. Seeking help takes courage and commitment but can lead to a more meaningful life and overall well being. My approach is based on genuine compassion, understanding and mutual respect. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and would love to help you discover your personal strengths and resources, regaining your inherent vitality for life!

Traditional psychotherapy works toward congruence in a persons thinking, emotions, actions, and life choices. Body-oriented therapy understands that the body is also profoundly affected by our life experiences. Identifying and releasing attitudes and old images held in our physical structure adds an important component to therapy. This promotes lasting change, allowing for free flow of life energy from within us so we can more fully realize our life, our joy. I am also founder of the Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy, and enterprise of Body-Psychotherapy of Seattle.

I provide Telehealth only services to individual clients who have suffered from trauma, depression and anxiety. Clients who are ready to set goals, learn and put in the effort to change, are the most successful in bettering their mental and emotional health. I believe that no one therapy fits all and I will provide each client with the therapeutic approach that will work best for them. Let me help you rid the pain and suffering you have been carrying, so you are not alone in your journey to a better you.

I take a relational approach when working with clients. We have all been shaped by both our personal history and intergenerational history. Anyone who would invest considerable time, energy, emotion, and money into therapy desires clarity and awareness. Oftentimes, clients have never been given a safe place to process the underlying reasons for the present-day issues. Nor have they been asked the right questions that would help them reflect on the joy and pain that was and is present. This is needed to develop a sense of self. We were harmed in relationship and we heal in relationship. This is why therapy is so powerful.

I am currently taking new clients on a limited basis. I work with teens and adult individuals. I specialize in trauma, which underlies many psycho-emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. However, I am chiefly interested in working with people experiencing important life transitions and challenges, especially when they feel stuck, confused, or lost.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with 30 years of direct experience.

I hold licenses in multiple states in both mental health as well as chemical dependency.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice for 40+ years, I provide relational psychotherapy for individuals and couples. In our initial meeting we identify the problem areas and conflicts causing psychological or emotional distress. Understanding the core issues will lead to a treatment approach, designed specifically for each client or couple. We utilize each persons strengths, coping skills, and life experience to reduce and manage anxiety, depression, self esteem issues and resolve internal or external conflicts. Effective psychotherapy can have a profound impact on mood, behavior and quality of life at all levels.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, uncertain, confused or frustrated? Or perhaps you have a child who struggles with challenges of their own? It is my passion to help adults, children, and their families.

I look forward to learning how I can help you in your process of finding relief and piece of mind. I would like to work with you to assist you in overcoming the challenges you may be experiencing.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Washington. I work with adults, couples and teens who are at a place in their life where they are wanting or needing to make a change, but sometimes not sure how to go about it. My approach encourages clients to take responsibility for their lives but also helps to uncover what obstacles have gotten in the way of them feeling powerful, happy, and in charge of their direction in life.

I believe that healing can happen through the process of empathic and supportive counseling. I work with mood issues, personality disorders, grief, substance use and more. I utilize a culturally sensitive and holistic psychodynamic style of therapy. This approach encourages development in all areas of life, and pays special attention to unconscious factors, childhood upbringing, trauma, and cultural identity (race, religion, sexuality, gender, disability, etc). I am currently accepting clients for group therapy, that will combine the sport/art of crew rowing with group talk therapy. This is a powerful way of feeling connection.

I enjoy helping individuals work through their issues by processing their trauma. When a person resolves their trauma the rest of their issues in life usually go away. I believe in a strong collaborative relationship with my client. You are in charge of your recovery. My hope is for you to be able to look at your past and present in order to help you identify how they have both helped you and gotten in the way of you being able to achieve your goals in relationships and in life. Connecting the dots from your past experiences to what is currently going on in your life is a strong motivator for change
