I use many therapeutic lenses such as attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and am EMDR trained.
Do you find yourself struggling in your daily life ? Does it seem difficult to find motivation or are you lacking the energy in regards to your career or your personal relationships? No matter what you are dealing with my goal is to meet you where you are at and work together to identify and build upon your strengths. We can move the needle towards the change you desire and deserve. There is a way to find confidence and hope again. Together, through comfort, discomfort, laughs and tears, we will take your power back. My clients feel they have a voice and they become equipped with tools to find balance in their daily lives.

There is the constant worry and fear that impacts your life at home, school or work. It is difficult to concentrate and you are becoming even more isolated from your family and friends.

We believe there is hope and there are answers.

No matter where we find ourselves in life, and regardless of who we are, we all have things that stand between us and the life we want. You may feel stuck in your career. The pressure and dissatisfaction from work may follow you home and impact your closest relationships. Maybe marriage and family have become a juggling act and it feels like both are about to hit the floor. It could seem like none of your dreams or goals are falling into place along the timeline you envisioned, and you feel isolated. Sometimes being alone isn’t nearly as heavy as feeling alone.

When working with adults for 1:1 therapy I foster and examine childhood traumas, former abuse, and various types of trauma that may show up through anxiety and fears. These symptoms can interfere with intimate relationships relating to the self and others.

You have come to the right place. I enjoy working with adolescents, families and adults. I am dual licensed in WA & TX, offering in person in Seattle and Virtual across both states.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
