Therapists for Teens in Seattle, WA
The truth is, our world is unpredictable. Our lives are jolted by circumstances that are wonderful, exciting, + lovely–circumstances that are terrible, tragic, + awful. These two opposites do not cancel each other out. Life is both incredible + hard. Therapy is a courageous choice to explore the impact these circumstances have on our lives. The goal of therapy is to help you flourish–to work from the core of who you are to equip you with the necessary skills to live the life you desire. It would be an honor to come alongside you in this aim.

You’ve always had a sense that something crucial is missing, like a note of a song that never resolves. Sometimes you feel disconnected from your authentic self, unable to put words to feelings, lost in a fog of uncertainty. At other times it feels like you’re too much for others and don’t know how to let it out without feeling like a burden. This existential dread has been a constant companion, but you’re sure there’s more to life and that some piece of the puzzle is missing. You long to remove this familiar barrier from impacting your ability to relax, to focus, to show up more as yourself in relationships.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, yet it is one that really matters. It is understandable to feel out of sorts, isolated, or misunderstood when experiencing relationship, family, peer, academic, or workplace stress, during a life transition, or when recovering from trauma. You may also be struggling with a death, the end of a relationship, a relocation from another state or country, an adjustment to a health issue of yourself or a loved one, or being in an environment in which you feel you don't fit. It can be painful to experience these feelings and to try to find a way forward. You don't have to do this alone.

I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, helping each to develop the specific and unique tools necessary to cultivate a more satisfying and fulfilling life. My approach is to first actively listen, gaining a thorough understanding of the history of the situation and symptoms, the presenting challenges, and any other influences such as family history, cultural or racial factors, chronic illness, and economic stressors. We will then work together to identify treatment goals and ways to reach them. I work with a broad spectrum of clients ranging in age from 16 and above, offering individual, couples, and family therapy.

Is OCD/anxiety getting in the way of the life and relationships you want? As a psychologist specializing in both anxiety treatment and couples work, I help people overcome their fears to build rich, connected lives. I have expertise in modern cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) - but I work organically, using powerful behavioral concepts in an alive, compassionate way. We will try to radically open up your life, so worries and compulsions aren't distracting you from who and what is truly important. This work will be guided by up-to-date scientific evidence, but it will be a collaborative and human process, not a mechanical one.

I offer psychotherapy to people who feel drawn to explore and expand their self awareness and transform emotional confusion and suffering. I believe that it’s in relationship with others where we are harmed and it’s also in relationship with others where we can heal. The therapy relationship facilitates a healing conversation because it is a place of safety where you can begin to expand your ability to communicate, develop your capacity for self compassion, deepen your emotional understanding, and increase your self confidence.

I have learned almost everything of importance about mental health from working with my patients. Though I consider that I had excellent training, as with many things in life, nothing prepared me for the intensity of my patients' life-stories. It was a trial by immersion, but as with such journeys, it was also one of discovery. Patients set before me stories of grief, longing, despair, addiction, obsession, but also of surprise, joy, and abundance. At times, they were overtaken by the force of events swirling around them, losing their bearings and sense of agency.

I like to work with people who are ready to get freedom from their suffering. The suffering can be coming from old traumas that are getting acted out in one's current life, or from situations that are occurring in the here and now. I want to help people who feel stuck and want to gain insight and tools to deal with the stress in their lives.

I aim to help you cultivate a sense of home, peace, and nurturance within yourself. My approach combines somatic, attachment-based, and emotion-focused work with cognitive and action-oriented perspectives. I will work with you to develop greater self-understanding, process traumas and emotional wounds, and build a life you want to live. I commonly help clients with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and feelings of being lost or overwhelmed with life. I also enjoy helping clients explore themes of meaning, spirituality, and expanded states of consciousness.
