Relationship Issues Therapists in 98034

I work with adult women who are struggling with a variety of issues including (but not limited to) personal and professional transitions, relationships, identity, anxiety, and depression. I am interested in addressing the many unique challenges that women face while navigating their lives: not feeling seen, the mental burden of feeling overly-responsible for others, burnout, anger/irritability, emotional numbing, withdrawal and isolation, and issues of self-worth and self-esteem. I want to help women develop their sense of themselves and connect with their power.

You might be feeling disconnected, exhausted, holding it together and want to live more authentically. I’m a therapist for children, families and women who struggle with Anxiety, Life Transitions or the impacts of trauma, Autism or ADHD. I'll help you recognize limiting beliefs to shift your mindset. I've gone through painful stuff and you won't feel judged by me. Together, we will process feelings, identify your strengths, needs &obstacles. My hope is that therapy can help you bring awareness, compassion, embrace who you are, give you space to focus on growth, engage in deep healing or a maintenance plan to reach your goals.

It is a brave step to seek out therapy. Together we will create a safe and curious space to explore what led you here and the way it may be impacting your life and relationships. We all carry pain, grief, shame, anxiety and fears; we will work together to understand these and move toward healing and growth. I recognize that we as humans are not raised in isolation, but our families and systems around us impact how we experience life and function in the world. We will aim to discover the “whys” behind the feelings and reactions and move away from judgment toward self-compassion as you navigate the ups and downs of life.

Individual therapy with me always begins by learning how to check-in with our nervous system to ensure we are creating a neutral and/or safe space that's required to begin to take a deeper look at what's underneath some of the challenging situations you may be responding to. Therapy is an insight-oriented process where we'll improve our ability to self-regulate and connect with others. I work from a polyvagal informed approach which is also known as the science of safety and connection. It's through this approach that we will begin to understand how your nervous system responds to cues of safety and danger.

Life can be difficult at times and can bring challenges that affect our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. In my many years of counseling experience I have worked with client's to deal with the day to day challenges that life presents as well as treating serious mental health conditions. Loss of a loved one, conflict at home or ,work can often be triggers for anxiety and depression and clients can benefit greatly from the supportive and unbiased and supportive approach that psychotherapy offers. Such types of therapy are offered in my practice with individual therapy.

We experience many changes and challenges, such as relocation, growing within relationships, parenthood, or changes in education, career or employment status. Loss comes in many forms, and grief looks different for each individual. Therapy is a way to navigate these challenges, to grow self-awareness and coping skills, and to find meaning in the unexpected, while exploring the external and internal factors that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
