Relationship Issues Therapists in 98133
I have three years of experience with clients facing depression, anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, PTSD, loss & grief, and relationship & parenting issues.
Accepting new clients. I like to make people feel safe, heard, validated, and better. You might be needing alternative thoughts to have less anxiety at work or quick tools for emotional regulation at home with your children, but I would like to take time and explore your past so that you can understand why your mind and body are reacting the way they are now. Self-awareness and mindfulness can be a powerful catalysis for your growth. I practice under cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) framework.

If you are looking for relationship therapy with grounding and inventiveness, or individual therapy that encourages the fullness of who you are, I would be happy to meet with you for a free consult.
Are you seeking your truth? Feeling stuck? Do you want a therapist who really gets you? Perhaps you are part of a relationship or polycule, seeking to work on your communication in a non-judgemental environment. I am an art therapist and counselor working with individual adults and relationships from a person-centered lense. As an artist, DJ, and a Jewish trans woman (free Palestine!) I know how important it can be to have a therapist who has lived experience on the margins. Using a warm and direct approach, I support people in the process of living their truths, creating the life and relationships that are genuine to them.

With this in mind, I strive to cultivate this opportunity for healing in relationship by offering a warm, honest, and collaborative space for emotional, spiritual and creative unfolding.
Seeking therapy is a courageous, empowering step. Although you are strong, you shouldn't have to walk through life's hardships alone. I provide individual and couples counseling with a mindful and compassionate approach around subjects such as grief and loss, depression and anxiety, reclaiming one's self esteem, relational trauma, conflict resolution, fertility struggles, and new motherhood, to name a few. I am continually amazed by our natural ability to heal and thrive given the right kind of attention and caring presence.

With couples, I use a method of treatment called IBCT that works by guiding both partners past breakdowns in communication to come to a new, fuller understanding of each other and the relationship.
Whether you’re looking to free yourself from the weight of anxiety, set healthy boundaries, better understand your reactions, or improve your relationship, quality therapy can make all the difference. I strive to create a therapy environment that is authentic, warm, and free of judgment so that you can get right to the important work of self-discovery and self-improvement. I provide both individual and couple therapy for adults, operating a fully Telehealth practice (all sessions are done via secure video calls).

Life can bring seasons of goodness, joy, and fulfillment, however, we sometimes find ourselves feeling stuck in painful patterns or feeling lost.

I offer individual or couples therapy and specialize in identity development and self-esteem, relationships, trauma, life transitions, and sex/sexuality.

Now Accepting New Clients. In seeking out a therapist, I imagine you may be feeling a mixture of anxiety, uncertainty, fear and maybe a little hope. Maybe you are finding less fulfillment in the things that used to make you happy or you've arrived at an impasse in a loving relationship. Maybe you've always struggled with anxiety or emotional isolation and are seeking ways to find greater fulfillment in your relationships. A therapeutic relationship is one where we ask those questions out loud and work toward hope with intention and courage. I would be honored to begin this journey with you.

Affirming of individuals in the LGBTQ+ communities and respectful of those with alternative relationship styles.
My clinical approach is largely psychodynamic with existential and humanistic elements. Some of my clinical interests include: adult developmental life transitions, the impact of chronic illness (on both the person with chronic illness and those caring for someone with chronic illness/ongoing health needs), and men's issues.

In psychotherapy much depends upon the rapport. You must feel comfortable with the therapist and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to be helpful to you. I have been practicing clinical psychology since 1977. I focus on the interplay between our internal world and our relations with others. Not restricted to one approach, I integrate a range of useful change strategies including interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral. Psychotherapy is both an educational process and an interpersonal process. Each person’s experience is unique. I have special interest in eating disorders, relationship disturbances, depression, and stress.

I enjoy working with Asian-American adults and teens suffering from depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
If you’re experiencing shame, guilt, or crippling perfectionism, I would like to help. You may feel stuck, wrestling with constant self-criticism or struggling with the same damaging ideas for years making self-acceptance impossible. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to endure it alone. I hope to create a space where you feel safe to share your story, support you in navigating the most painful parts, and ultimately help you find healing and wholeness. While we can’t change the past, we can shape its impact on our present and future.

Though these are my areas of expertise, I work with a wide variety of clients and needs and am happy to explore if I am the right fit for you.

I believe that people innately have the internal resources to meet life's challenges. We all have great potential for growth and change when we are empowered to access these resources within ourselves. But it is in relationship with others that these resources are inspired and engaged. My approach to therapy is collaborative. My hope is to help create the conditions where you feel encouraged and supported to explore the themes that are present in your life.

Is out-of-control sexual behavior hurting you or someone you care about? Pornography, prostitution, infidelity and other secretive sexual activity can contribute to physical, legal and relationship problems, and destroy families and careers. I work with adults in the greater Seattle area who want to stop acting out sexually and restore their sense of integrity and wholeness. I also help families and partners heal and move forward. My compassionate, non-judgmental approach works by addressing not only the problematic sexual behaviors but also the personal and relationship issues that are intertwined with them.

Issues I work with include: changing relationship patterns, navigating life transitions, re-working distorted family-of-origin beliefs, and raising self-esteem & self-confidence.
I'm a seasoned individual and group psychotherapist who loves her work. I'm guided by the belief that most of the time we have our own answers, but sometimes we need help uncovering our own answers and trusting our own judgment. Depending on your needs, we may: 1. work psychodynamically (explore your history and how it influences current life), 2. work cognitive- behaviorally (explore how distorted beliefs affect your feelings & behavior) or, 3. work to resolve difficult experiences by weaving back and forth between the "here & now" and the past.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
