Relationship Issues Therapists in 98133
No one seeks therapy for the same reasons. We all have our different stories and challenges, and external and internal influences. It takes courage to take that first step and reach out. It really does. My goal is always to meet every client with compassion. I value and appreciate the courage it takes to open up and talk about issues in your life, relationship difficulties, regrets, and challenges. I consider it an honor to sit with clients, hear your story, and help you realize and illuminate your inner-strengths.

As our lives evolve, we inevitably come into times of conflict and challenge, whether that be mental, emotional, physical, or relationship.
Therapy to me is a process of discovery and rediscovery, reworking patterns of behavior, or beginning to change thoughts or beliefs that are no longer relevant or useful for our current self and life. It's engaging thoughtfully in your life, taking an active role in your relationship with yourself and others, and fostering the type of self and change that you desire. My role in your process lies around engaging in thoughtful discovery, working through challenges and resistance that comes inherently with the onset of change.

My approach in therapy is based on building an authentic and open relationship with my clients.
Three fundamental values guide my practice:
1) I value relationships and believe that feeling connected in relationships is essential to overall health and well-being.
2) I value diversity. I believe that the environment within which people live impacts overall health. As such, I respect and work with all aspects of a person's identity (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion,).
3) I value a holistic approach. I believe that attending to all aspects of a person's life - emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, psychological - is an important part of healing.
These are the interconnections within each one of us, within ourselves.

I am an experiential therapist who believes in the power for persons to find healing and to change through the therapeutic relationship.
For therapy to be effective, it needs to be real, honest, compassionate, and focused on the client's goals. That is what you will find with me. Over the years, I have found a common thread among my clients: they long to feel safe, loved, and accepted by those around them. When those feelings are not met, life can seem overwhelming and depressing. Finding connections, learning skills, overcoming traumas, dealing with grief, helping your marriage thrive -- these can be great stepping stones in living life to the fullest. Together, we can find ways to achieve this goal.

By being present with my clients' suffering, I help them to achieve both acceptance and change. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and that the path to happiness requires honesty, kindness, and compassion for both self and others. My style is interactive and collaborative with an emphasis on making changes via concrete, specific plans of action. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My understanding of the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship is grounded in attachment theory. I especially enjoy working with issues of identity and differentness.

My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and relational, which means I'm interested in helping you safely explore the ways in which your personal history, from early childhood onward, may still be influencing your emotions, coping patterns and relationships.

The therapeutic relationship should be a safe place to breathe. Come catch your breath, and get clear about the growth you're finally ready for. Learn to see your questions, yourself and your relationships in new ways. Curiosity & compassion can turn chaos into insight and paralysis into courage. Use your courage to apply your learning in real time. Try new skills, experiment. You'll know you've got the hang of it when success and failure are both progress! With skills & perspective your experience of uncertainty can shift from anxiety to excitement. What about you and your world will become possible?

The foundation of therapy is a trusting relationship in which clients can make sense of their past and present experiences.
I work with individuals and couples seeking to connect: to themselves, to their bodies, to others, or to a sense of meaning. Many clients initially feel stuck in their lives, or misunderstood by the world, or (sort of) ready to face the trauma that seems to define them. I love working with a variety of adults, but I specialize in treating highly analytical/logical people, highly sensitive people, neurodiverse clients, religious trauma, and body acceptance issues.

Our relationship can be the revealer of previous patterns, blocks, conflict styles and relational tendencies.
We all know that life is full of messiness, but what if we didn’t have to hold it together. What if we didn’t show a version of ourselves or wear a facade. And what if we could be really honest about our experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Sometimes it’s hard to find places to allow our chaos, confusion and pain to come out of hiding and be seen. My hope is that you find comfort and safety to allow the mess to show up. I believe therapy offers us the invitation to do something different — to choose a new way. It can be an uncomfortable and powerful offer to be seen, known and heard for who you really are.
