Divorce Therapists in Lynnwood, WA

Something holding you back? Has a loss, divorce or other unexpected life altering experience changed your entire world? Finding yourself in a pattern of numbing out, ignoring your own needs and prioritizing others. Telling yourself that you should have moved on by now or wondering if maybe something is just wrong with you? You are not alone! Watching life go on for others can feel so discouraging when you didn't want your life to change. It may be making you want to isolate and be more self-critical. You deserve to get unstuck. And to find a new way to rebuild or re-engage in a life that you want.

I'm an individual and family therapist who enjoys helping adolescents and adults cope with life changes and traumatic experiences. Some issues I help clients with include: healing from abuse, divorce, school difficulties, parenting challenges, domestic violence, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. I work to provide my clients with a safe and comfortable space to talk as well as to provide them with tools to help get through difficult times and situations. I am experienced in working with clients from the LGBTQ community, as well as those in non-traditional family/relationship structures.

I have been working with families and individuals in the behavioral health field since 1998. I was originally licensed in California after completing my Masters Degree in Counseling and meeting California's thorough and rigid licensing requirements in 2005. In 2007 I received my license in Washington. I value the Therapist/Client relationship and promote a safe and validating environment to heal and process through life's difficult times. I have worked in a variety of settings and with a multitude of populations and challenges. I have faith in people's ability to change and overcome challenges and adversity.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

I work to best understand your perspective, provide empathetic listening, and teach skills to build resiliency against depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work from the perspective that we are influenced and impacted by the people and situations in our lives. Understanding how these relationships affect us helps us to better understand our behavior and allow for positive growth. I believe that through working together, each individual/family can develop skills that promote living a meaningful, healthy, and purpose-filled life. I have a unique understanding and awareness of varying cultural perspectives that influence our lives.

Are you someone who desires to examine and change their life and needs some support? You are already on your way to find this. I believe that connection to the body and self is a true gift in this life and something that we are often separated from through oppression, trauma, eating disorders, etc. I like to work with individuals who want to come back into themselves. My clients are passionate about personal development divesting from oppressive systems and gaining a true understanding of themselves.

Available via telehealth, I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples navigating the complexities of life. With years of experience counseling, I understand the profound impact relationship difficulties, high demand work environments, depression, and anxiety can have on people and their health. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and solution focused interventions. I firmly believe that everyone's journey is unique and am committed to tailoring my support to meet your needs.

Welcome. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy at this time, my goal as a provider is to make the experience both a comfortable and value added one for you. I've been a psychotherapist for thirty-plus years and know it’s not always easy to take the first step, or open up to a stranger. I've never had a one size fits all approach to psychotherapy. Instead I try to tailor my practice to fit the needs of each person as an individual with a unique set of experiences and concerns.

Sometimes life goes exactly as planned and other times we face unexpected curveballs. This can result in grief, loss, depression, anxiety and more. When this happens, life can seem daunting and insurmountable but there is always hope. With a caring ear, guidance, & therapy methods that fit your situation, the challenges of life can be a catalyst for growth, healing, and joy! I consider it an honor to come alongside clients as they work on healing and overcoming their trials.

We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions. For many this leads to experiencing a variety of symptoms. Life can also throw us some big curveballs that feel impossible to adjust to. I believe with assistance anyone can process the past, heal, build coping skills and cultivate a mindset that is needed to create a life that is enjoyable. I utilize DBT and EMDR to aid you in your journey.
