We are products of the stories we carry. They shape who we think we are, who we think we should be, and who we want to become. We are given stories by our families and those who raised us, from our peers and colleagues, from culture and society, and perhaps most important are those we create for ourselves. Some of them are empowering and give us strength to carry on through difficult circumstances. And some of them oppress us, keeping us from living in inner congruence or creating unnecessary conflict in our relationships. Through therapy, it is often helpful to examine these stories to gain understanding and curate them as needed.

Do you feel that relationships are draining you? Do you frequently fight with friends, siblings, partners, or work colleagues? Do you feel like you aren't being heard or when you try to resolve things, it's unsuccessful? Relationships are central to our quality of life and if we have turbulent dynamics with those closest to us, it can feel frustrating, and lonely, and impact our outlook on life. If you're feeling disconnected from your emotions, having communication issues, and feeling that you aren't getting what you want out of your relationships, therapy can be helpful.

I am an LICSW in Washington State and specialize in work with Children, Youth and the LGBTQ+ populations. Much of my work has been centered around different ways to address and heal from trauma. Counseling can help to address painful or long held memories with core healing that frees you from old established patterns that no longer serve you.

Now scheduling Monday evenings 5-8pm. Do your arguments consist of one person trying to avoid conflict, the other person often feeling alone and unheard, and both of you feeling misunderstood and hurt. This is a very typical dynamic in relationships and it can feel so difficult to break out of the cycle. You may find yourself feeling stuck and unsure how to navigate the difficult conversations. You may be seeking a depth of closeness but unsure how to create it. Know that I see you, I see how difficult taking a first step can be. I would be honored to walk beside you on your therapeutic journey.

I support the health of traditional and non-traditional intimate relationships. You are my teacher about you.
