Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Bothell, WA

As a holistic psychotherapist and healer, I have 30 years of experience working with adults who have suffered trauma (acute and chronic), and childhood abuse of all kinds. I work with the full range of dissociative disorders, PTSD and the relationship disturbances that result. As a depth therapist, I also pursue the root cause of the issues causing pain which means we collaborate together to address the client's entire life span and family of origin.

I provide mental health treatment for adults and teens in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, behavioral problems, and adjustment to life changes. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and mental health difficulties, ranging from mild life adjustments to severe mental illness. I strive to help clients to identify and cope with internal and external obstacles that keep them from having the kind of life they want to have. This involves helping clients to deal with difficult emotions that feel unbearable, and to understand why they may repeatedly engage in actions that are self defeating.

I have extensive experience counseling individuals and couples who are dealing with a wide variety of concerns, including relational issues, communication difficulties, and painful wounds related to trauma and abuse. I work with my clients on a relational level, seeking to uncover the ways in which particular circumstances and situations affect the whole person-mind, body, and soul. Together we will explore the reasons why you find yourself facing repeated undesirable challenges, and how to overcome them with new and better solutions. I will cater my approach to your needs in order to guide you toward lasting, positive change.

I provide a combination of evidence-based and relational therapies to provide individuals, couples, and families the best possible outcomes toward their goals. Combining compassion and information to help people identify the specific obstacles in their lives that hold them back from being satisfied and content in their lives, I help them decide on a plan of action to effect the change in their life that they desire. My goal is to provide you with the tools you need and work together to learn how to effectively implement them and utilize them for life.
