Relationship Issues Therapists in Bellevue, WA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for empowering women to live joyfully inside their bodies through liberation-work and self-compassion. I approach therapy from a systemic, person-centered, feminist, sex-positive, and HAES lens that's rooted in social justice. I understand the ways that oppression and trauma influence how we connect with our bodies and I view coping mechanisms as survival strategies that develop in response to our experiences. I believe there is wisdom in our coping and I enjoy helping clients compassionately attune to their body’s needs and connect to their intuition.

I have availability for new clients and offer simple online client setups and scheduling. I have always loved people, they way we think and how our experiences and stories shape us. I have over ten years of experience helping people work through complex conflicts. I have spent the last 15 years working with the LGBTQ+ community supporting the exploration of sexuality and gender with teens, adults, and their family relationships. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggling with relationships, therapy can be a tool to support your self-discovery.

I believe therapy is a courageous and beautiful endeavor. I am ready to work with you collaboratively to understand your experience and needs. In our time together, people often develop increased acceptance and authenticity in how they relate to themselves, connect with others, and live in alignment with their values. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self concept, disordered eating/body image, and trauma. I connect well with LGBTQIA+ folks and those ready to explore themselves deeply.

The truth is, our world is unpredictable. Our lives are jolted by circumstances that are wonderful, exciting, + lovely–circumstances that are terrible, tragic, + awful. These two opposites do not cancel each other out. Life is both incredible + hard.

It is here that we can safely explore who we are - we can develop curiosity, awareness, and compassion towards self, while honoring our past and current experiences.

This is a tele-health practice. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their human experience and to make peace with themselves and their situation. Life will send curve balls. We get out of balance and move through life disconnected and unhappy, consumed by constant worry. We judge ourselves harshly and become filled with self-loathing.

When did life become a monotonous routine, leaving you emotionally drained and feeling unfulfilled? You long for deeper connections and meaningful relationships, but that’s overshadowed by disappointment or isolation. You’re repeating the same patterns, preventing yourself from experiencing what you deserve. As a parent, you feel like you’re always falling short. Making the smallest decision leaves you overwhelmed and second guessing yourself. Relationships can bring immense joy, but also have the ability to become so draining. They can cause an overwhelming amount of stress and make you question your own self-worth and judgment.

You keep running into the same issues and arguments with your partner. You're exhausted, and not sure where to go from here. More than anything, you want to feel connected, cared for, understood, safe, and joyful together. You believe this might be possible, but you don't know where to start, and you're not getting anywhere right now. You might even be wondering if you want to continue your relationship at all.

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, empathetic/active listening as a compassionate presence and witness to see you, hear you, and meet you where you are in your human condition. My hope is to inspire your inner compassionate healer to go through your current circumstance and increase sense of peace, meaning and purpose.
