Women's Issues Therapists in Kirkland, WA
All of us have stressors in our life - we juggle some combination of jobs, academics, relationships, parenting, goals. It can get a little overwhelming to balance everything. Not to mention the impact of the current economic, social, political and environmental landscape on our lived experiences. This is further complicated by a layer of immigration for some folks. Sometimes, we need a little extra support. That's where I come in. I am passionate about supporting people through family of origin (FOO) and cultural identity-related issues, professional/academic burnout, and women's issues.

Life can bring pain and frustration into one's heart and mind. It creates sadness, anxiety, and a feeling of being stuck. It may feel hard to imagine that it is possible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You may feel stuck personally or within your relationships. Therapy can offer clarity and strength as you work through, rather than avoid, that which causes you pain. Providing a safe space for someone to process is essential, and together we can traverse the inner journey of self-discovery. Exploring one's thoughts, feelings, and the unconscious can help illuminate what keeps one stuck in unhealthy patterns.

The “nothing is ever good enough” feeling won’t go away by doing more. It's something I notice all the time working with millennials. We tend to approach our challenges by doing more rather than slowing down and noticing what’s going on inside of ourselves. Whether you're single or partnered, starting a family or wondering about life without kids, frustrated about where you are now, or just hung up on what the heck comes next, I want you to know – I hear you. You can think of therapy with me as a safe environment where you can start showing up more fully for yourself.

Taking the first step may be scary, especially if this is your first time or you have had a bad experience. Sometimes, finding a therapist with shared experiences or life experiences can be hard as well. I have a passion not only for helping but also for listening to individuals, couples, and families. However, I am incredibly passionate about helping persons of color, adolescents (12+), families, and adults of all ages address life's challenges, such as anxiety, depression, school issues, divorce, relationships, families, and work-life balance.

I work with women who experience high anxiety and panic attacks, have a history of trauma or neglect, and feel disconnected from their bodies. I believe in a Body + Brain approach to healing, informed by neuroscience, to help us feel more integrated and whole inside ourselves. This approach is particularly wonderful for women who tend to over-function when stressed, and can help you feel more safe, kind, and connected. I also love working with women during the perinatal season.

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.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
