Teletherapy for Washington

Are you a teen who feels like no one understands you? Are you a parent who is struggling? Are you an adult having trouble in coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, life transitions and relationship issues? Life can be hard, and we often find ourselves stuck. I'm here to help you to cope with the life's struggles without feeling alone. I have 20 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I can assist you in finding solutions to your problems and guide you to the path of happiness and success.

Hi there, I'm here to help you bloom into your best self. I'm a person centered therapist who works with Adolescents and Adults. For Adults, I provide you with a safe place to reconnect with your inner child. I can help you nurture your inner world, heal your past, and learn how to develop a loving relationship with yourself. Using psychodynamic, CBT, internal family systems therapy, and mindfulness, we go to your past to understand your present and change your future. For Teens, I use cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to help teens learn how to manage anxiety, and increase their self-confidence.

Therapy can be intimidating and may bring up many different emotions, feelings, and thoughts. Each of these unique responses to our own individual experiences are what make the process of therapy so special. I value building a connection and safety in the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist to be one of the most valuable tenets in the therapeutic relationship. I believe in creating a nonjudgmental space in which I can encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, exploring identity, and managing relational and personal challenges.

Your subconscious wiring is creating your current life. Let us gently rewire and recode. You may feel trapped in your own mind, afraid to realize your true potential. The therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist allows for authentic, honest communication that can feel like a breath of fresh air after going through life telling people we are “fine” when we aren't. We all have a complex and emotional story to tell. I want to help you align with your true desires and values so that you can create the life you want. You get to have abundance, ease, grace, and peace.

I strive to help my clients build confidence to handle life challenges, self & social pressure, so that they can voice their concerns and continue to seek the support they need to overcome any obstacle long after they are done with counseling. Counseling is setup to help provide you with tools/ skills specific to your innate skills and strengths. We work collaboratively to identify environmental factors and your support system.

I offer virtual therapy for clients residing in WA state. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief, stress management, and relationship issues. If you feel stuck in your current situation and don’t find joy in life, I can help you connect to your inner strengths and resilience and live an authentic, meaningful, and balanced life. I strive to create a safe, judgement free space to explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are of concern to the client. Together we identify the most appropriate goals for therapy to improve your current quality of life.

The power of personal narratives and story-telling dates back to our origins as human beings. We feel seen and heard when our stories are held with compassion and dignity. How would it feel to be witnessed without being pathologized? Healing is a collaborative process and I want to be a witness to your story, to your history and to your healing. Our inner-world matters as much as the universe outside of us. My aim is to explore these worlds with you and connect the different threads of your stories so you can witness yourself as whole.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

I’m passionate about the ways in which workplace experiences can impact emotional health and well-being. As a counselor, I enjoy working with adults interested in processing and healing from unpleasant work experiences, adults who want help ensuring their values align with their work life, and those contemplating career transitions. I spent more than 20 years as a corporate employee and manager in places like Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, and GE before realizing my values were better suited by a career transition. I understand what it’s like to work in highly stressful and competitive jobs.

Accepting NEW clients in August 2023. No matter the stage of life, there are always challenges to tackle. Some challenges are visible, such as the loss of a loved one, parenting, or relocating to a new city. Other challenges are not so visible –like worrying too much, struggling to feel connected to others, or just lacking the motivation to get through the day. Figuring out who we are or what makes life meaningful requires exploration, and this can be difficult to navigate alone. Moreover, exploration requires a safe and accepting environment, free from bias and judgment.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 8 years in practice. I work with children, teens, adults, and families on their journey towards hope, healing, and health. I provide evidence-based, culturally sensitive course of treatment and collaborate with providers across settings to develop a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan. I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety related disorders (including OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias), autism, school refusal, and children with behavioral difficulties and their families. Some areas of growth my clients focus on are emotions, education, adaptive skills, and relationships.

Accepting new clients! My practice as a social worker and therapist is grounded in the belief that the most effective treatment, and transformative healing, takes place within relationships- in the therapy room, and in our communities. Nurturing a therapeutic alliance rooted in connection, safety, and radical acceptance is central to my approach. As a saathi (companion, ally) on your healing journey, I am here to offer care and support as you process and integrate your experiences, navigate current challenges, and develop your innate strengths along with new skills.

You have taken the first step of reaching your goals by searching for help, which is often the most difficult. You did it!

I provide treatment for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, boundaries, anger management, trauma, grief and loss, behavioral problems, co-occurring disorders, self-esteem issues, and adjustment to life issues. I have worked with clients from different backgrounds and with wide range of difficulties, from severe mental health issues to the mild adjustments to life. Over the years what I have realized is that helping my clients to deal with difficult emotions, which may become unbearable at times is what help them to develop resiliency and understanding of thoughts and actions they repeatedly engage.
