Teletherapy for Washington

You may be in a space and time in your life where you are ready to begin therapy for the first time or maybe you are moving toward it again. Whatever the case may be, you are brave to be caring for yourself by searching for support in this capacity. Collaboratively in therapy we will begin to create a window into seeing the narrative of your story. Navigating your own personal story is a way to begin to transition toward the life you desire and long for.

I view therapy as a collaborative relationship. By providing a respectful, judgment-free atmosphere, I hope you will feel comfortable sharing the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are concerning to you. Through this cooperative and supportive process, my goal is that you will better understand and have compassion for yourself. It is my privilege to work with couples, individuals, and those in nontraditional relationships to help navigate life's challenges. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and I use a variety of techniques from biological, psychosocial and spiritual perspectives.

As a mindfulness-based counselor, I help individuals, adolescents and couples transform their struggles into opportunities for growth, learning and adventure. I help you turn your problems into pathways. This journey is an opportunity to unearth the home that is your deep and abiding sense of self. Drawing on nature wisdom, archetypal patterns, myth, mindfulness and the mind-body connection, I am here to be a guide as you dive into your own depths. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward wholeness, freedom and purpose.

Hi - I'm Alyxx. My pronouns are they/them. My ideal client is someone living on the fringes, someone who feels like they have never quite fit in with the thin/white/cis/het esthetic that is so predominant in our culture. If you are ready to do the work to change, I'm ready to walk that path with you!

If you are someone who struggles with loneliness, people-pleasing behaviors, and avoiding conflict, I can help. You may long for love, belonging, safety, and truly mattering to the people around you, and yet you find yourself held back by anxiety, shame, guilt, and fear of failure. You might be afraid of relying on and getting "too close" to others. I love working with clients who are ready to work on their relationships with partners, family, and themselves. I can help you learn to trust, nurture, and understand yourself so that you can establish meaningful and authentic relationships with others.

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.

Do you struggle against your ADHD, anxiety, or depression? Are you goal-minded and self-aware, but can’t seem to get motivated or started or even pay attention, even if the project is important to you? Do you have mood swings or inflexible thoughts? Are you unable to maintain healthy relationships, or find yourself feeling detached and unconnected? What if I told you that you can lose the struggle by leaning into your strengths? Would you be ready to make a change? Of course, you would! You are NOT broken! You are just going through some stuff, and it doesn't have to control you. Let me walk with you on the path toward PEACE.

Individuals of any age struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and difficult life transitions may improve with treatment that accesses the creative side of the brain through a safe and therapeutic method of emotional expression. No artistic skill required! Children and youth who have trouble talking about their thoughts and feelings due to developmental, emotional, or English language skill reasons can use the creative process to learn how to understand their world, build social and coping skills.

Are you starting to think about some changes in your life? Are you questioning yourself about your career, or relationships? Do you have a health issue such as ongoing illness, chronic pain or autoimmune disease that makes it challenging to live fully? I work with adults who are struggling with life transitions due to a change in their life or health situation and want support in adjusting to change, so they’re looking for a therapist who understands their situation and partners in developing a personalized therapy experience.

Are you or a loved one experiencing compulsive sexual behavior, marital/couple difficulty, or problem anger? Is social media, infidelity, porn addiction, or other trust damaging behaviors (such well as secrecy, hostility, or verbal abuse) truncating your hopes for a long-term, happy relationship? As a former campus minister and domestic violence counselor I bring multiple years of experience combined with the latest evidenced-based sexual addiction, anger management, and couples therapy principles to both individual, couples, and group therapy settings as well as tailored treatment plans to monitor and track therapy progress.

Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

You may be wondering how to find a therapist who is right for you. I believe you should feel respected, heard, and understood and be able to trust that your therapist can help you. I invite you to meet with me to find out if I am the right fit for you. My approach incorporates a variety of psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, including Acceptance and Commitment therapy and Emotion-Focused therapy. I work with older teens, adults, and elder adults. We typically develop treatment strategies together.

Life as you know it has changed. You may have been barely holding on before and now you're struggling to adjust to life's new normal. Anxiety and/or depression may not be new to you, but dealing with medical and racial pandemics simultaneously just feels like too much. Connecting with your partner seems harder now than ever before even though you are spending more time together. All of your regular coping skills and self-care tools just don't seem to be doing the job and you are looking for relief.

Maybe you have an unexplained fear or sadness and you do not know why? Maybe you do know why, but that hasn’t helped you. Maybe you feel stressed and overwhelmed in your relationship(s) (wife, husband, partner, son, daughter, friend, or coworker). Maybe someone you loved has broken it off with you. Maybe someone dear to you has died. Maybe someone has hurt you. I know I have had such experiences. They are part of life. What you, I, or anyone else must do is to be able to live with it in spite of our hardships. This is where I come in. You do not have to go through hardship alone. We were never meant to.

Life can be difficult, and particular circumstances can leave us feeling hopeless and unaided. I support couples and individuals seeking a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. Together we will determine the goals of therapy, and how I can best support meeting those goals. Therapy is collaborative and my hope is to offer compassionate, non-judgmental care to those I am fortunate to serve.

OOO Something Shiny! All of my clients with undiagnosed Adult ADHD start out with the same frustration. Why is it that I know what I need to do, but can't do anything differently? They describe having all of these goals and dreams and starting to reach them but eventually getting discouraged and stopping. Once they stop, just thinking about starting up again is so overwhelming that they end up not doing anything at all. Deadlines go by, bills don't get paid, and relationships get ruined. And it leads them all to the same question. What is wrong with me? What if I told you that it might be ADHD and Unresolved Childhood Trauma?

Welcome! I am glad you are here and taking the first step to make change in your life. I practice from an integrative perspective to fit the needs of each client. Each person has a unique situation that requires me to listen to your story with compassion, curiosity, and openness. I work with clients across the age-span, though I have extensive experience with ages 15-30. Many of my clients enter therapy after a life crisis such as a struggling child or adolescent, a death or illness, a change in career, a break-up, the affect of an addiction, identity issues, or simply patterns of worry or regret.
