Premera Blue Cross Therapists in Issaquah, WA

Welcome! Are you a young adult needing support? Or a parent needing additional parenting strategies, or guidance to better understand/support your child? Are you worried about your child/teen’s emotional well-being or social skills? I enjoy working collaboratively with children and parents alike to improve child and family well-being, often finding that working with both provides the best outcomes for everyone. I have special interests in working with gifted and twice-exceptional (2E) clients and homeschool/online school clients. Lastly I absolutely love working with teens and young adults - they make up a large part of my caseload!

I am a board-certified Clinical Psychologist and provide evidence-based neuro-psychological assessments and interventions. I recently opened up new testing slots and currently have availability for comprehensive evaluation services. Reach out to me via email for the quickest response and we can set up a time to discuss your concerns, provide you with more information regarding the evaluation process, and individualize the neuropsychological assessment to best fit your child’s needs.

Serving people for 30 years in various settings (hospitaIs, schools, outpatient), I have learned what skills, attitudes, and attributes contribute to our sense of well-being and purpose and what boosts our confidence in handling life challenges. Youth as well as adults will understand the connection between feelings, behaviors and thoughts and modify those that don't work well for them. Whether a crisis, divorce, or relationship problem at home or school, difficulty being the parent or partner you wish, or self-sabotaging behaviors, I will help you harness these situations, and use them as springboards to becoming the person you most want to be.

I have dedicated my career to helping individual adults, families, children and teens to better manage through anxiety, depression and life difficulties. I am dedicated and committed to working effectively and efficiently with you or your child to create the long-lasting changes you desire. I am Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified and incorporate this into my practice, as I have seen tremendous results for people struggling with life trauma, single incident trauma, and even more general anxieties.

In-person and telehealth! Is anxiety overwhelming you? Are intrusive, obsessive thoughts and compulsions creating a lot of emotional distress?

You don't need to be in constant fear or struggling with OCD anymore. I'm here to help you find calm again.

Hi! Welcome! As a licensed psychologist I have had the opportunity to work with a very diversified group of clients. I believe there are unique strengths, aspirations, vulnerabilities, tendernesses, joys and heartbreaks in every person's life. It is my privilege to help people know and accept their authentic selves and become more mindful, loving, compassionate and nurturing toward themselves and others. I work with clients with more acute issues (anxiety, depression, life transitions) as well as long standing trauma, emotional pain or mental health concerns. I want clients to leave my office feeling understood and hopeful.

It is uncommon for people to willingly seek therapy. Misinformation, fear of stigma, prejudices abound. How unfortunate! By the time someone reaches out it is often because they are at a point of desperation; this is when the work begins. My philosophy & approach have been formed through many years of working as a clinical social worker. Though trained in the psychodynamic approach, I am eclectic in my approach & attuned to client needs. There is a saying that “only the brave go to therapy.” In reaching out to begin the therapy process, one is choosing to become conscious, to face what is not working in one’s life, & to change.

When I was a girl there was no one to tell my deepest darkest secrets. My life's work is to be a trusted, healing person to those in pain. My therapy room is many things: a confessional, a delivery room, a crucible, a place of radical honesty with a whole lot of grace. Most of all it is a safe place for you to tell your story, to find strength and hope, to cry, and to heal. I embrace a holistic approach which considers your spirit, mind, body, & community.

Therapy can help you overcome stress, anxiety and depression. If it's your child or teen who is struggling, you probably feel desperate for help. If you as a parent are struggling, you may be feeling inadequate, ill-equipped, and unprepared. Or you may be dissatisfied in your life, unmotivated, tense, stressed or overwhelmed. Life can get hard at times. You are not alone. I am comitted and dedicated to helping you move through and beyond your suffering. I invite you to call, email or visit our website for more information.

The fact that you are reading this shows that you are taking the first step toward healing. Finding a therapist to walk with you during a difficult time can be challenging and identifying a therapist that “fits right” is just as important as the journey itself. You may be struggling with a big life change, broken relationship, parenting challenges, health problems, anxiety/depression or marital distress among many other issues. You are ready to do the work needed to live a balanced and fulfilling life. It is my honor to hold space with you as you journey toward resolution and restored health.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have extensive experience working with people of all ages, building therapeutic relationships across the board with many groups of people. I have worked with children, adolescents and their families for over 20 years of my career. I have experience in working with individuals dealing with addiction of themselves or their loved ones, domestic violence, grief and loss, aging and transitioning to new stages of life. I am able to provide support around depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and managing positive life changes as those can also cause changes in your mental health.

We work together exclusively with couples as a co-therapy team. We help couples resolve distress and dissatisfaction in their relationships. We believe that couples are seeking relationships that are both safe and deeply attached, and that authentic connection, with all its satisfactions and vulnerabilities, is the basis of a successful relationship. Our goal is to help couples build and sustain intimate and stable relationships by focusing on how to create closeness and repair damage. We help couples understand what causes defensiveness and disconnection from their partners and teach them how to reconnect and restore harmony.

Understanding our emotions is a skill we all must learn to prevent relationship conflict and to promote inner peace. There are reasons we have the deep feelings we experience. We just need to understand why we have our feelings and what causes us to suffer so much from them. We suffer from our emotions because something else is going on inside of us that we may not understand. It does not need to be this way. You can learn to know yourself better, sooth your emotions and improve your relationships with partners, kids, co-workers and friends.

My goal is to assist my clients with healing from old wounds, coping skills, adjusting to life transitions, goal setting, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and provide encouragement and compassion along the way. My passion is listening to others, offering support and empowering you to reach your goals whatever they may be.  I have an extensive background working with all ages but my focus is working with women and men between ages 18-55 yrs of age. I genuinely enjoy working with clients to help find hope, peace and acceptance of themselves and difficult situations.

Welcome! Life can be challenging and can lead us to unexpected places sometimes. Whether you’re feeling stuck or experiencing stress, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting issues, trauma, or other concerns, I will come alongside you to help navigate your journey towards hope and healing. With my gentle, yet direct, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach, I can help you discover the tools that you have within yourself for learning new skills that serve you better to create lasting, positive change. Let's work together to help you set and achieve your goals!

Does stress in life feel overwhelming? Struggling with diminished focus, difficulty motivating yourself or managing negative thoughts in your head? Is grief or loss overwhelming causing it to feel as if no one understands your pain? Do you have a history of negative self talk or critique? Need a new perspective or learn behaviors to help manage stress that causes us to feel insecure and sad?
