Therapists in Issaquah, WA
Therapy is a courageous endeavor, with endless possibilities for healing and growth. I work with adults experiencing relationship issues, burnout, low self concept, depression and anxiety. I connect well with people who often feel misunderstood, and those who are ready to explore themselves deeply. As a queer therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. 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.

When we experience challenging events in our lives, it is human nature to seek to avoid uncomfortable memories, emotions, or body sensations related to these events.

I am also deeply passionate about harm reduction and I have dedicated many years of my career to addressing my clients' relationship with substances.

Some of what happened in your past is coming back to affect you, or maybe it has for quite some time. You’re learning more and more that many places in the world haven’t been designed for you, or that the spaces you find yourself in don’t account for the real you. You don’t feel very good about yourself, and what you've tried so far hasn't made the impact that you've wanted it to. You’re stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or scared - or all of the above.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
