Therapists in Seattle, WA

We all face painful and challenging seasons and situations in life, and I am here to help you through those times. I work with people who are hurting and want peace; who want to grow; or have realized there are places in their life they need to work through. I also work with those who want to bring their Christian faith into the counseling process. I strive to offer biblically sound, evidence based therapy. I see both individuals and couples who are dealing with betrayal and loss and sexual shame.

When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, obsessive thoughts, avoidant behavior, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and helpless. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, find yourself in a state of hypervigilence due to trauma and/or frozen by fears and uncertainty, you CAN find your way out - sometimes we just need some extra support to do so.

Being a person in the world today is hard. You might be feeling overwhelmed and stressed. You might be feeling stuck, depressed, or weighed down. Perhaps you have difficulty identifying how you even feel in the first place. Learning how to cope can sometimes seem like an impossible undertaking, but I know that together we can explore ways for you to feel more aligned and energized. I know it can be difficult to find a therapy relationship that feels like a space where you can be vulnerable. I approach our work together with humor, warmth, and realness that I hope will create an authentic space for healing and growth.

I have 6 years of experience working with people on trauma, depression, anxiety and relationships, including family, same-sex, cross-cultural, poly relationships. I value a lot working with people from the LGBTQ+ community and diverse cultural background. Traumatic experience comes in many looks. Trauma can be anything painful that you experienced in life, and still impacts your life currently. Sometimes without proper resources and appropriate support, trauma can bring a lot of emotional suffering and damage to your quality of life.

I work with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, issues of personal identity (race/gender/sexuality orientation), and life transitions (relational/ academic/professional). Navigating into the depths of who we are reveals we are so much more than what we sense at the surface. Having support on our journey can allow us to develop tolerance for our full range of emotions, gain awareness of what we feel in our bodies, discover new insights into past events, expand our ability to discuss fears, increase empathy for ourselves, experience more meaningful relationships.

Immediate openings for virtual sessions in Nevada and Washington. Imagine a day when you felt like you, and you truly knew who that was. Where you didn't feel overworked and stressed. Where you could say no without overthinking about what someone else would think. Where you had control over your time and energy. Where worry wasn't your motivation. Where you felt rested and calm. Doesn't it sound like a dream?

I specialize in working with emerging adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, and suicidal ideations. My goal is to help my clients reach their goals through person-centered therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psycho-education, and other therapeutic techniques.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, master’s level Nutritionist and EMDR practitioner. I offer integrative therapy for eating disorders, food and body related issues, anxiety and trauma. Integrative therapy is a holistic approach to counseling that very much includes the body, beyond traditional talk therapy. It is a unique, blended approach that fosters change on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I use EMDR as an embodied approach to re-wire new habits and let go of guilt, shame, fear and negative subconscious beliefs.

You are worthy, unique, and enough! You have the capacity to heal and thrive! An extraordinary and fulfilling life is possible for all of us! At some point, we may all experience pain. Our struggles and “stuckness” are complicated and layered. If you feel stuck and are yearning to be “unstuck,” we can work together. Being stuck can present as lack of meaning, feeling disconnected from yourself, having unfulfilling or unsatisfying relationships, challenges with transitions, deep dilemmas, mood troubles, and constant worry among many others.

I think there is no greater pain in life than bearing an untold story or feeling like you have to go it alone and do your work completely by yourself. As your therapist, I view my role as a fellow travel companion and a guide to help you navigate the terrain of your life. I seek to create a safe space for you to explore your story, create detours where there are obstacles, and create a path to a better future. I enjoy working with folks who not only want to find relief from their problems, but also seek to shift the paradigm of how they see themselves in relation to others and the world.
