Spirituality Therapists in University District, Seattle, WA

Usually, people seek therapy during their most vulnerable states. As a therapist, I view it as a true honor to be a part of your life in these times, whatever it may be. I hope to help you receive healing during your therapy journey. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or for your teen or child, I genuinely believe in the possibilities and resiliency of all my clients. I enjoy working with a diverse population of people including children, teens, families, and adults. Additionally, I am passionate about helping people in the perinatal stage and those seeking healing from traumatic events.

No one seeks therapy for the same reason. I do not know your story or why you are seeking, but I know it is not easy. Should you choose to work with me, my hope for you in our work together would be that you would find freedom from whatever binds you--whatever keeps you from joy, from peace, from living as fully as you have within you to live.

The daily struggles of life, loss, relationships, and health are real. But we are not supposed to face them alone. We may not choose the pain that comes our way, but we can choose how we respond. Inner peace and strength are gifts from God — gifts that are within our reach. I will partner with you in your journey toward healing, providing the resources and space you need to apply faith and skill in everyday life.

Your story is important and unique to you. What you bring into the counseling session is more than a diagnosis or problems you are struggling with. Reaching out for support today is a significant step in getting to where you want to go - congrats! I am a collaborative therapist who sits with people empathetically and kindly.  I work with clients hearing their story and listening for the sticking points that need attention.  My approach is client-centered that builds a relationship with the client. I draw on the many interventions I am trained in; trauma-informed CBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing.

Whether you are struggling emotionally, spiritually, or in relationships, with God’s help through Christian counseling, you can experience meaningful change. I offer a compassionate, faith-based approach to help you overcome challenges and achieve mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. If you’re dealing with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, abandonment, relationship problems, grief, or other concerns, I would be honored to walk with you. Through guided, professional support, my hope is for you to find balance, peace, and strength in Christ.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings? Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey. I am a registered art therapist, neurodivergent affirming clinician with training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I use evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs.

I am originally from Knoxville, Tennessee and have been thrilled to call New York City home for the last 6 years. I studied Theatre and Psychology at Southern Methodist University, and obtained my masters in Social Work from The University of Tennessee. I work with adults experiencing Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder. I am certified in trauma treatment, and my work with clients seeks to help them gain new perspectives on current and traumatic past experiences impacting how they perceive the world. Additionally, I incorporate embodiment, somatic practices, CBT, DBT, and ACT models in my work with clients.

You may be ready to make a change, yet are unsure of which way to move or feel too frozen to take a step. Perhaps it is overwhelming to inhabit your body or revisit the past, you fear that you’ll be flooded by sensations or memories. Maybe a part of you wants to connect with others and another part worries that you'll just be hurt again. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I believe that you have the innate capacity for healing within you. Therapy is a way to cultivate the right conditions for healing seeds to bloom. I aim to create a warm and accepting space - one that can foster insight, growth, belonging, and even joy.

Psychotherapy is the process in which an individual explores his or her capacity for constructive movement. Within this journey, meaning and purpose tend to become more vivid.

My passion lies in supporting people to learn the skills necessary to live their best life at every stage. There are times in life when a professional perspective is needed, and my goal is to provide for psychosocial and emotional healing, helping to navigate difficult circumstances and provide for a supportive environment where each individual can achieve growth and fulfillment on their terms.

Welcome to what may well be a journey of transformation. As a psychologist, neuropsychologist, and Jungian analyst, I am dedicated to facilitating your psychotherapy or neurorehabilitation. My background in neuropsychology, mindfulness, Jungian/depth psychology, and multicultural perspectives enables me to tailor our work, guiding you through your inner struggles, relationship issues, and brain health challenges (e.g., stress, anxiety/depression/grief, trauma, racial identities, LGBTQ+, life transitions, aging, chronic illness, brain injury/TBI/Alzheimer's). Together, we can arrive at a path of growth that makes sense to you.

If you are experiencing major life changes or transitions, if you want help understanding why you choose the partners you choose, if you want effective means of changing self-defeating behaviors, if you would like help with "emotional & social intelligence" both critical to personal & career success, if you want to learn effective means of communicating & resolving conflict in your relationships, if anxiety or depression interfere with your enjoyment of life, if you had losses or broken attachments while growing up, if you just want a very supportive community for dealing with the stresses of your life, then consider these groups.

Chances are you feel like your relationship lacks trust and intimacy. You might feel like the arguments you have with your loved one always end up in "band-aid" type solutions, and that your partner doesn't quite understand what you're needing or feeling when you express what's important to you. But you're ready to make a change. You're ready to feel like your partner is on your team and would love to build an even deeper connection with him/her/them. You don't want your past to define your future and want to break from old patterns to reach new levels in your relationship where it feels more real and honest.

Are you struggling with anxiety, not feeling good enough, feeling disconnected, or trying to recover and heal from life's challenges? You may have been feeling this way for a while or have recently discovered these emotions and the influence that past experiences have had on who you are today. You want to feel connection, joy, trust in self and others, and a motivation to move through these challenges and go forward in your life. You deserve all of this and have the capacity to create changes. Exploring the present and the past will help give you information to know how to create the future you want.

At this time I am not accepting clients. Usually I work with young adults who are managing difficult transitions in their life and struggling with anxiety or depression. I particularly enjoy working with neurodiverse and twice-exceptional clients, working to overcome challenges and the difficult memories associated with trauma. I also work with parents as they seek personal emotional support and hone strategies to help their families. As a therapist, I will work alongside you and will be your ally and advocate, supporting you as you evaluate your strengths and move into a more authentic and happy life.

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.

Life is difficult and navigating your way through the world can be a lonely, painful experience. It leaves scars and memories that can turn the person in the mirror into a complete stranger. Depression, anxiety, pain, confusion and regret seem to keep pulling you down into an endless cycle. Discovering how to face your world, your circumstances, and more importantly, yourself, takes more than just will power. It can't be done alone, but it can be done.

My hope for our work together is that you can begin to process and engage the pain that we so often don’t want to make space for. Instead of ignoring or pathologizing whatever has gotten you stuck, we will explore ways to honor and grow from these realities.

When our mind, body, and soul are aligned, we experience balance, which has a positive impact on our emotional and psychological well-being. I will support you in navigating thoughts and feelings that have harmed your personal life. My goal is to guide you in reaching your fullest potential and discovering the best version of yourself. Utilizing mindful techniques, I will assist you in shifting your thoughts from the past and future, and into the present moment. Working together, you will learn how to experience life in the here and now, and you will begin taking control of what matters the most, your life.
