Broadmoor, Seattle, WA 98112
I draw on cognitive restructuring, EMDR (including intensives), nature based parts work (akin to internal family systems), psychodrama, mindfulness based interventions, and a systemic oppression analysis.
I am inspired by our ability to withstand and get through tremendous pain. Yet, in a cultural system that perpetuates trauma and oppression, it can be difficult to embody the sense of whole-ness that we desire. I want to walk alongside you in reclamation of your resiliency and vibrancy, finding your most alive self. Whether you are dealing with mental health issues related to trauma, oppression, isolation, relationships, impulsivity, grief, or other life pains; I want to center what matters to you, hold what you have to say with compassion, and help you rediscover a fullness in being alive and in your body.

What happened? Do you understand your true self? Have you discovered how to live life on life's terms in a meaningful way? These are the central focuses of my practice. While I'm a psychiatrist with extensive clinical experience, I consider myself - first and foremost - a therapist who simply has more tools at his disposal as a physician. I always seek to provide holistic care. That is, I work to see and treat the whole you, not just the constellation of symptoms you have. As such, my approach shuns the conventional practice of overemphasizing diagnostic labels and medications. Life - with you in it - is more complicated than that.

Life is hard! Coping with unexpected challenges, parenting, dealing with memories we wish we didn’t have, learning about a new diagnosis or condition, starting a new career or job, all of these things push us out of our comfort zones and we struggle to deal with them. It is totally normal to feel like your world is a bit out of control at times and that you’re not sure what to do or how to do it. People like you reach out to me because they’re tired of their current state of mind, tired of feeling trapped in negative thought loops, and they’ve decided that now is the time for help.

Making the decision to seek therapy is brave. It's my hope that I can make the process of connecting with a therapist as easy as possible. I have a hands on approach in therapy and feel very enthusiastic about meeting you where you're at. I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing infertility, have a history of (or newly discovered) anxiety, navigating life transitions, or experiencing grief and bereavement. Although, there is no bad reason to seek therapy and I love working with a wide variety of concerns. Whatever motivated you to explore therapy, I'm glad that you're here.

I'm a culturally informed therapist committed to helping people develop new approaches to difficulties so they leave therapy more at peace and connected. In addition to what brings them to therapy, many of the people I work with feel like they don’t quite belong. They worry about other people's judgements. They may believe that they are not as competent as the people around them. Or they question their ability to be a good partner, parent, or friend. Sometimes they just feel lonely. Therapy is a place where we can make sense of all these experiences and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and integrity.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
