I work with individuals, couples and families to gain insight and to identify the underlying causes to challenges in their lives. I help people to figure out where they are currently at and to find solutions, while building on the strengths of the individual, couple and/or family. With my assistance, clients prioritize their needs and then set simple, realistic, and achievable goals. Clients draw on their experience and learn to appreciate the areas of their life where they are enjoying success. Clients gain the skills and tools needed to meet their goals.

I enjoy working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress and other difficulties in relationships and at work as well as individuals who are in a period of life transition or who are struggling with making important changes. I have experience working with adults in their 20s and 30s, with parents raising children, with individuals sorting out job interests and relationship dynamics, as well as with those struggling with mood disorders.

Flow is mental health. Feeling stuck is a mental illness. My job is to help you unstuck. Trauma makes you stuck. Your brain creates defense mechanisms based on the traumatic event. Your body remembers the impact. I believe that many problems are rooted in trauma including attachment wounds. I work with anxiety, addiction, identity, unhelpful thought/behavioral patterns, cultural transition, and spiritual abuse through the lens of trauma. I attend to your body closely in the session for metabolizing your stuck feelings and thoughts. Body-mind integration brings mental health where allows a flow.

I believe in the transformative power of compassion, kindness, self-awareness and the peace that comes with a calm nervous system. My approach is rooted in the understanding that every individual comes with their own unique set of past experiences and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space of present attention where one’s feelings and truths are valid. Working from a systems perspective, I conceptualize each person (individual or in a couple or group) within the context of their unique environments, recognizing the complex interplay of factors that shape their experiences.

Many of our wounds may have been formed in the absence of a witness or lack of connection. You may be struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, low self-worth, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Often, these wounds are formed in the absence of validation and support, or a lack of connection. Because wounds are often started in relationships, it makes sense for healing to happen in a relational way. I believe in the transformational and impactful work that happens within relationships both in and outside of the therapy space.

I work with all types of people and presenting concerns; I particularly enjoy working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, academic concerns, and families with a loved one in recovery from an eating disorder. My hope is that through our work together you come to find that at the heart of my practice as a psychologist is an appreciation and respect for your personal history, joy, trauma, and desires. In our journey together it is my intention that this experience helps you feel this appreciation for your own complexities, and it enriches your experience of others in the world around us.

Many of us are feeling overwhelmed and stressed out right now. Recent and ongoing events are likely to trigger things that have happened in our past and can make it even more difficult to get through the day. Maybe you're feeling guilty because you feel like you "should" be grateful right now, but you really just feel awful. Whatever you are going through, talking to a therapist can be a lifesaver. We can help you make sense of what is going on in the world and your life, and help you feel supported and empowered in this time of uncertainty. We are here to be your non-judgemental support.

My background in music and art has taught me to fully respect the power of creation and expression. I hold a non-judgmental stance as we honor your voice, your experiences, and your values. I believe that the first step in healing is showing up, and I look forward to working with you. I believe in empowerment and self-compassion as pillars for change and growth. Whether healing from past traumas, facing current anxiety and stress, or clarifying which direction you want to head in life, we can work as a team to find the tools best suited for your health and well-being.

Navigating life’s pressures can be challenging, especially when compounded with the impact of painful live events, intergenerational trauma, and broken systems. It can be daunting to seek help, particularly when our identities are targeted or misunderstood. My passion is supporting women of Color, queer people of Color, and people with immigrant backgrounds in a safe, affirming and warm therapeutic environment in which you can unpack your life story, learn tools for growth, and forge a path towards healing.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Seattle, WA. I specialize in evidence-based assessment and therapy for both children and adolescents. While I've spent much of my specialist practice at the intersection of ADHD and anxiety disorders, my generalist training has also prepared me to support those with sleep problems, depression, and adjustment issues across age groups. My evidence-based and culturally informed practice warmly welcomes individuals from underserved communities, including BIPOC, international students, and immigrants.

Caught in a seemingly endless loop of arguments with your partner? Feeling like you're constantly walking on eggshells, afraid of triggering another conflict? You're not alone. Many couples experience challenging periods. But these patterns can and do change. I specialize in helping couples break free from their unhelpful conflict cycles, rekindle the spark that brought them together, and cultivate a relationship worth cherishing.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.

“Children don’t get traumatized because they get hurt. They get traumatized because they’re alone with the hurt.” -Dr. Gabor Mate. I am a therapist specializing in the challenges faced by children and parents. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages (and their parents) as their teacher, coach, and counselor. For younger clients, I provide play therapy using storytelling, art, and self-expression to build emotional well-being. For older clients, I offer supportive talk therapy that gives them space to process struggles with relationships, academics, learning differences, anxiety, and pressure to achieve.

I enjoy helping my clients find their unique strengths and building on them in a confidential and supportive setting. I feel it is important for people to gain understanding and insight into behavior patterns that are creating problems in life and learn how to change them. I also work with clients to enable them to find a satisfying work/life or school/life balance. I utilize cognitive behavioral and brief solution focused therapy.

Hi. I'm Judy. Living in the world today, most of us have experienced some form of trauma, individually or collectively. The effects of trauma can manifest in many different ways and are unique to everyone. In its most literal definition, trauma means wound. Unhealed wounds are at the root of almost all pain and suffering and are often hard to locate. Words may not be adequate to describe what we’re feeling. There’s just a felt sense—some kind of knowing—that something’s out of balance.
