Female Therapists in Kirkland, WA
Life can be challenging. When we are overwhelmed by life's twists and turns, it takes courage to reach out to a stranger for support. I offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore current struggles, express what causes you pain, expand your awareness of internal and external obstacles, and create pathways towards deep and lasting change. My goal as a therapist isn't just about helping you FEEL better; it is about helping you LIVE better.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with depression, anxiety, academic challenges, parenting, relationship challenges, ADHD, grief, eating disorders, and trauma. I love helping people better understand themselves, get unstuck from whatever is holding them back, and create plans for their future that align with their interests, passions, and values. I am passionate about supporting adolescents, young adults, and parents as they strive to be their best selves. I use an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples work through relationship problems and create emotional closeness.

I provide adult individual psychotherapy, specializing in depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma recovery. I help people identify thinking or behavior patterns that may be preventing them from resolving emotional issues, managing relationships, or achieving life goals. Sometimes treatment involves behavioral methods such as practicing new skills, keeping behavior charts or journaling. Other clients may simply need information, resources or strategies to solve a specific problem. I am always there to provide support through empathy and encouragement. Please Note: Email is the best way to reach me.

I will help you find your own way through the difficulties and crises as they may reveal your longing for more authenticity in life. Anxiety, depression, vague emptiness, sudden anger outburst felt within yourself or in your relationships may be a call for your unlived self so it can be integrated; it doesn't have to be just a problem that needs a fix or correction. This integration is the key to bring completeness and fulfillment in both yourself and your relationships.

Through my training and experience I developed an expertise in helping people of various back grounds move through life transitions. I believe our present is highly influenced by our past experiences, therefore understanding our life experiences and taking the responsibility to change our present is the ultimate goal in therapy.

Emotional pain can feel awkward and difficult to express. I know how hard it can be to make that first move and turn to someone for help with anxiety, depression, panic,trauma, self-loathing, or concerns about relationships with important people in your life. I use an insight-oriented approach to help my patients make meaning of their feelings and current behavior in light of both their chorus of internal voices and their actual psychological histories.When a patient becomes aware of 'the past operating in the present', a space begins to open up in their minds for making different choices.

Feeling unhappy in your body? Feeling like you are using drugs and alcohol to cope with life? I specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body image, their relationship with food, and substance abuse. So many women don't feel comfortable in their own skin. Food, drugs, and alcohol can be a way to cope with this experience. As women, we receive a wide variety of messages about who we are vs. who we should be. Holding onto these messages is at the root of many struggles in our daily lives.
