Relationship Issues Therapists in 98103
If you allow me to partner with you, we'll work to create a safe professional relationship in which you can learn to identify your needs and pursue them in healthy ways.
My guess is that you’re searching for a therapist because either you or someone you love is feeling stuck—and you’re searching for a way to get unstuck. Feeling stuck is a really helpless feeling—and it can be painful when we feel alone in our stuck-ness. I believe that that pain speaks to our human design for relationship—for a life of connection with God and others. We were created to be in relationship, but unfortunately, our beautiful, yet flawed humanness makes it difficult for us to fulfill this design.

It is the intimate opportunity to get into relationship with psychic organization, pain, and suffering with the hope of understanding and overcoming these issues with greater creative freedom.
We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and personal; everything matters.

Trust and respect are at the heart of any forward-moving relationship, and these values will be present throughout our work together.
Psychotherapy is the process in which an individual explores his or her capacity for constructive movement. Within this journey, meaning and purpose tend to become more vivid.

I support clients navigating religious trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and those seeking neurodiversity-affirming support. Those who have experienced pain, disappointment, and distress from experiences in faith communities are especially drawn to my work. It is also important to acknowledge how isolating it can be to pause, deconstruct, or reconsider long-held beliefs or spiritual practices that once held a lot of hope and meaning. Or, to simply explore how embracing your full humanity and identity can be celebrated after experiences of being shamed for those aspects of you.

Openings now available! I specialize in working with folks who are stuck in negative patterns in their relationships both to self and others. The hardest patterns to break are often rooted in childhood family dynamics and societal pressures, which can lead to anxiety, depression, negative self-talk and relationship conflicts. I can help you break these cycles by allowing you space to cultivate self-compassion, explore the roots of your challenges, and replace old patterns with new ways of being. I work with clients of all identities and have a particular fondness for working with folks who are newly diagnosed as neurodivergent.

Is there a story you’re carrying about yourself, a situation, or relationship that’s causing heartbreak, pain, or frustration? Is it something you just can’t shake or feel stuck carrying? Stories hold power, whether they’re told to us, learned consciously, buried deep, or what we tell ourselves. They can be instructional, revealing, occasionally harmful, but filled with endless possibilities. When we are aware of our stories, we get to determine the next chapter. I want to hear your story.

I do not play a passive role within this process; I bring my own humanity into the relationship.
I see healing as the process of understanding the patterns that influence our perception of, and how we act within, the world that surrounds us. For many, these patterns might have been protective, at one point in time, though might not be serving our needs in the present. Therapy offers a space to feel seen, heard, and accepted. I believe that the individual is the expert on their life, and I trust their experience. I seek to follow the client while noticing my own curiosity that I have cultivated through schooling and experience working in the field of psychology.

I help individuals and couples navigate unresolved issues related to anxiety, trauma, high-stress work environments, burnout, difficult life transitions, perfectionism, and relational challenges. Appearing like you "have it all together” can look so easy on the outside, when really you’re struggling deeply inside but feel you can’t break down because others are counting on you and you’ve set high expectations for yourself. If this is you, I get it. I’ve been there and sometimes it can feel impossible to get off the hamster wheel that has been set in motion. Or maybe you're a couple who is needing extra help in your relationship.
