Female Therapists in Kenmore, WA

As you seek therapy, you may have been feeling stuck, dissatisfied, and unhappy for a while. Sometimes it's hard to put your finger on why. Maybe you're ready to dig a little deeper into the journey that has led you here. I enjoy walking with clients toward a greater self-understanding and compassion toward themselves. Together we will listen to the stories you carry with you, and respond with care to what they have to tell us. This work creates the opportunity for a new clarity, and new opportunities for healing and change.

We specialize in IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy for people experiencing treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and other mood disorders.

I believe that empathy and human connection are key to finding mental wellness. Whether you are experiencing challenges in life, stress, or mental illness, counseling can help you find wholeness again. As a counselor, I let your values and needs guide our work together. In addition, I enjoy incorporating Christian faith at the discretion of the client.

I believe that people and relationships are the most important and powerful things in life. I am privileged to have the opportunity to walk with you as I encourage your vision for yourself and your future. I specialize in the Christian population, but have seen individuals from non-religious or other religious communities.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a research validated method in which partners learn to identify harmful and entrenched patterns within their marriage and develop the skills to engage in a new way. Your relationship may be highly reactive and conflictual or feel like an emotional desert where closeness disappeared long ago. In either case, EFT can help you create a partnership that is nourishing and a haven for personal growth. I am an advanced practitioner of EFT. I work with both heterosexual and same sex couples.

You’ve had ups & downs, successes & failures, you’ve kept getting up when you’ve fallen down & you’ve carried on. But now, you’ve hit the point where you don’t want to keep reaching for the next thing, keep pushing those recurring thoughts & feelings away. You want to transform parts of yourself & experience something different, to find a sense of wholeness. Maybe it’s stuff from childhood that won’t leave you alone, the racing thoughts, the self-criticism, the anxious feelings, the broken relationships with others or with yourself, the anger, the stress, the sadness…Whatever it is, there’s hope for something more, something better.

I work with young adults and late adolescents who are navigating the transition into early adulthood. While my primary focus is on this age group, I warmly welcome individuals from all stages of adulthood and diverse backgrounds. My approach is trauma-informed, with a special emphasis on complex and childhood trauma. I understand the profound impact trauma can have and am dedicated to supporting clients through their healing journey. Additionally, I address issues such as self-esteem, body image concerns, and the deep longing for a sense of embodiment and self-connection.

Accepting new clients virtually. As a parent and therapist, I understand the messiness and wonder that is being a parent. I also know how valuable time is, and offer therapy intensives ranging from 90 minutes to 3-hour blocks. I can help you process complications in pregnancy, fertility issues, birth trauma, NICU experiences, pregnancy loss, and more. Do you have scary thoughts? Or memories that keep you up at night? Are you having a hard time connecting with your newborn or feel guilty? Do you feel like there are so many new things in parenthood and it is overwhelming? I am here to support you through this time.

You have worlds to explore within yourself, so much strength to uncover, feelings to connect with, and pain to heal. My intention is not to "fix" you, but to help you reclaim your power so that you can feel confident in your innate ability to work toward balance and growth. My aim is always for you to feel safe, seen, and heard. In a world that seems to constantly pull your energy outward in a way that doesn't serve you, I want to provide you with a space where you can turn inward, with intention and compassion.

You don’t have to hold big things on your own. I help take off some of the burden that humans carry. I am passionate about helping clients work through complex trauma, including medical trauma; women’s health and LGBTQIA+ well-being; couples and non-traditional relationships; identity and self-expression; and anyone who finds it challenging to live in a neurotypical world. Together we will dismantle external forces that impact how you move through the world and discover and embrace each chapter in your story that makes you uniquely you.

Without judgment or pathologizing, I will help you accept "what is" so you can create "what can be." People naturally move toward healthier lives and choices with the right support: empathy, authentic compassion, sincere curiosity, and validation. Together we will establish a comfort zone in therapy.

I believe everyone has innate wisdom within themselves to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of them. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and families that have experienced trauma and consequently suffering from anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, sleep issues, developmental obstacles. Expressive therapies offers a unique way to language those issues using art, painting, clay work, journal writing, sand tray play and canine therapy, and they begin to externalize worries and concerns, crisis and trauma through symbols and mastery is gained. When families in pain begin to play together, perceptions of each other are changed, communication is accomplished and individuals experience their true potential.

Hello. If you are looking for a therapist, the most important thing is for you to work with someone who will relate specifically to you and can help you heal. I work with each client as a unique individual with a goal to heal the whole person. Real and lasting change comes not only from an understanding of your issues and concerns, but from creating corrective emotional experiences that allow you to release old and unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving.

Therapy to me is a process of discovery and rediscovery, reworking patterns of behavior, or beginning to change thoughts or beliefs that are no longer relevant or useful for our current self and life. It's engaging thoughtfully in your life, taking an active role in your relationship with yourself and others, and fostering the type of self and change that you desire. My role in your process lies around engaging in thoughtful discovery, working through challenges and resistance that comes inherently with the onset of change.

Three fundamental values guide my practice: 1) I value relationships and believe that feeling connected in relationships is essential to overall health and well-being. 2) I value diversity. I believe that the environment within which people live impacts overall health. As such, I respect and work with all aspects of a person's identity (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion,). 3) I value a holistic approach. I believe that attending to all aspects of a person's life - emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, psychological - is an important part of healing. These are the interconnections within each one of us, within ourselves.

I help individuals learn to accept themselves and others as they are, manage their emotions, and improve relationships. Acceptance allows for growth. I specialize in helping individuals resolve symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I believe we all have the capacity to heal given the right tools and environment. My work with clients is grounded in mindfulness based, cognitive behavioral theory. Counseling is provided in a private, comfortable, non-judgmental environment. Telehealth sessions are available at this time. Together, we will use your existing strengths to move you toward optimal health.

My focus in the therapeutic relationship is to work along side someone who wants to examine the many parts of their life in every aspect from their thoughts, feelings, family dynamics, current relationships, and where they would like to be headed. We often find ourselves attached to one identity in an attempt to preserve the expectations of others, losing sight of the other complexities that make up our whole self. With deep desires to meet the needs of others, whether family, school, work, or in relationships, we forget to establish and nourish our own needs.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. It takes courage to ask for help, especially if you are struggling with anxiety on a regular basis.
