Couples Counseling Therapists in Bellevue, WA
To help couples more effectively, my work is informed by the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples.
Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

In addition to the very rewarding work of helping couples reconnect, I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, work performance/stress, and depression.
Helping couples connect is my specialty. Do you sometimes feel alone in your relationship? Does it seem like your partner does not understand you, and no matter how hard you try it seems like you end up in the same fight over and over again? Has that sense of being close and connected changed to feeling more distant and roommate like? If you're ready to reclaim your relationship back from the negative patterns that keep you stuck, I am here to help.

I offer a caring, empathic, and safe environment for the development of a collaborative relationship.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who believes in the resilience of the human spirit. Living in society can seem chaotic and often feeling heard by others may seem impossible, yet we yearn for love and harmony. Too often, we wind up distancing ourselves because it may seem easier, but then the result is feelings of alienation and loneliness. We add to these feelings of loneliness by erecting barriers between ourselves and others which only perpetuate the problem. Therapy can offer a means of releasing energy so that barriers are removed permitting new possibilities for a more content existence.

I offer a trauma informed approach to therapy with focus on individual felt safety and deepening your awareness and relationship with your authentic Self.
Current openings! No matter what you are facing, you don't have to face it alone. I will work with you to create and hold a space of felt safety, where your experiences and emotions are validated.

Therapy is a process of change and change can be uncomfortable and scary at times. You are taking a courageous first step by reaching out.

Additional services include: specialized treatment programs for couples, programs for people struggling with shyness and social anxiety, and personalized social-skills training programs for business and/or personal use.
I can best describe myself as a Competency-based, Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems therapist. Practically speaking, that means I have great respect for the challenges we all face in our lives and consider most so called "problem-behaviors" as logical adaptations to difficult situations that simply have outlived their usefulness. Therapy sessions strive to identify out dated problem solving strategies and replace them with newer more effective solutions. While I utilize a number of treatment techniques, I rely most heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral, Skills Training and Family Systems approaches.

I can help you heal from painful events, build intimacy and trust with your partner, create safety to be vulnerable, and experience intimacy in a way that honors both of you.

Has infidelity or betrayal trauma caused pain in your relationship? Communication difficulties, anxiety, and breaches of trust can create barriers to intimacy. Working with a specialist who understands the impact of neurodiversity on relationships can help you both thrive. If you have trouble expressing your needs or understanding your partner, I will help you embrace your strengths and learn strategies to become closer and learn to connect on a deeper level. You can have the relationship you desire!

Through the relationship that we will form in our work together, we can begin to imagine new ways of relating to yourself and others that can help create meaning and fulfillment in your life.
Hi there! My strongest source of learning as a therapist has been getting to witness remarkable acts of courage by people facing seemingly insurmountable odds. It takes bravery to look within. I believe in helping people feel safe in their bodies again, safe to feel and express their emotions, and trust in their inner wisdom. I value truly understanding and connecting with those I see, and cultivating a space where you are free and comfortable to let your guard down. Whether you’re looking for concrete skills, wanting to dive deep into territory uncharted, or a bit of both, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and goals.

I am available to help you heal, navigate relationships and transitions, and discover why you may face the same challenges again and again. If you feel trapped, uneasy or stalled in making decisions, I can help. The stresses of life squeeze our ability to think clearly and feel at the same time. As a result, our emotions rule us, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence based practices, such as ACT and DBT to help clients regulate their emotions and reach their goals.
