Parenting Therapists in Renton, WA
Accepting New Clients: Having difficulty finding a therapist of color who understands your experience? I understand your struggle. As an African American male, I too had trouble finding a therapist of my own. Being a person of color in our society comes with its own unique experience, along with the everyday struggles and challenges we all face. It’s difficult and frustrating to have to explain this unique experience to someone before you can even address your reason for being there. But you continue searching because you know you need someone who understands your experience and can help you with life’s struggles.

I view therapy as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. As humans, we have an innate drive toward wellness, and my task is to help facilitate that drive and help clear out the obstacles that are keeping you stuck. I walk alongside you, helping you to reach the outcomes you desire. My desire is to help you uncover the maladaptive coping patterns that have been developed over the years, and learn not to just to cope with your life circumstances, but to come to a place of thriving.

I have several years experience working with families from a variety of cultural/ethnic backgrounds and a special interest in helping families experiencing separation, divorce, co- parenting, step- parenting, and adoption.
Wouldn't you agree that good healthy relationships are one of the greatest joys in life? When our relationships with those who are most important to us are going well, life seems at its best. But these relationships can become broken and cause us pain. Relationships take time, effort, careful handling and real love. The good news is relationships can heal, and there's help to get you there. As a marriage and family therapist, I most enjoy helping couples and families navigate life's challenges through learning new skills to get to the relationships they desire.

I love to work with those in need of connection, nurture, and growth. I do so through a style that is direct, yet compassionate, firm, yet empathetic, practical, yet supportive. As your therapist, I work alongside you to provide individualized support based on your presenting problems, needs, and therapeutic goals.

We are truly living in troubled times, globally and personally. Many of us find ourselves fluctuating between feelings of anxiety and/or depression. At 67 years old, I’ve spent nearly half my life – 35 years – as a Marriage and Family Therapist/Psychotherapist. Adding Hypnotherapy to my practice has been a game changer, and that, along with friends, colleagues, and many clients, I’ve learned ways of managing my thinking and thereby managing my emotions. This is what I do in my private practice and I can help you to do the same.

It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of highs and lows. This cycle can result in feelings of overwhelm and avoidance, making it seem easier to reach for coping strategies that are not sustainable. This could be taking it out on the ones we live the most or neglecting ourselves. Sometimes, we need someone to provide a listening ear, reflection, and honest feedback to allow us to make necessary changes in our lives and relationships.
