In Person Therapists in Wedgwood, Seattle, WA
The life you want is already inside you, so I invite you to discover what you might need to change and accept in order to heal and grow. Patterns of relationship or ideas about yourself that helped you survive in the past may be limiting how you engage with the world today. Re-finding the parts of ourselves that haven’t been welcomed can bring a profound new sense of wellbeing. My goal as a therapist is to create the safe, accepting relationship in which that deeply satisfying life can grow.

I work with teens and adults who identify as quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). Those with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. This can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff. I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own sense of outsider-ship was crowned with awkward homeschooler social skills :) Working, both on self-acceptance, and feeling like I belong, is something I enjoy sharing with my clients.

Acceptance might be the first step to change, but change is hard. I aim to create a supportive, holistic, empowering, and safe setting to process and understand what is specifically challenging for you. Often, my clients feel like they “don’t belong,” stuck in unwanted behaviors or looking to understand themselves better. I believe by attuning compassionately to our bodies and minds, as well as each other, we can sense what needs to change and heal. Also, I consider myself a very real person in the therapy space, which often includes understanding, laughter, radical acceptance, forgiveness, and open and honest communication.

I work with teens, adults, and families. I believe that counseling is, first and foremost, a relationship; positive change can only take place when the relationship is based upon honest and open communication, collaboration, and trust. With individuals, my goal is to help you build upon your existing coping skills, deepen your insight, and work with you to develop healthier approaches that will improve your ability to handle future stressors, challenges, and losses. With families, my goal is to help identify challenges and collaborate on an action plan for family success.

Welcome. Are you looking for more joy and better relationships? My training has taught me to help people examine and describe the life they have, identifying areas in which they are "stuck," and reconnect to the life-goals that motivated them. Sometimes this stuckness has to do with certain feelings, sometimes it is about past traumas, often it shows up as repeating patterns in significant relationships, and sometimes it manifests as a malaise in which a direction in life seems impossible to find.

The in person Groups I run are weekly ongoing psychodrama groups.
As a therapist I encourage people to step outside the box of what is familiar and risk meeting themselves in a new and authentic way. I enjoy working with those who love learning and are open to taking an active approach to changing life strategies that are no longer working. My role is to listen, witness, encourage, nurture, support, challenge, and invite you to participate in your own life adventure with creativity, spontaneity, and integrity. I take a collaborative approach to the issues and concerns presented and together work toward solutions and change. Taking charge of one's life story is empowering and worth the challenge.

Do you sometimes fall victim to negative thinking? Do you feel like you live in a constant state of stress? You may be struggling with mental health challenges, loneliness, or patterns that no longer serve you. Whatever it may be, my goal is to help you transform your thinking, discover a deeper understanding of yourself, and be able to connect with the world in an entirely new way. I believe in the power of connection, and the healing relationship between client and clinician. Therapy can act as a non-judumental space for you to share your world and, specifically, what it is like to live your life.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides individual, couples, and family therapy services for adolescents and adults.
