Anxiety Therapists in Seattle, WA
Issues I work with include: anxiety, depression, life-transitions, spiritual/existential concerns, challenges due to a non-dominant identity, grief and loss, relationship distress, and self-esteem.
For optimal mental health, it is vital for you to feel seen, understood, and appreciated. I offer a space where you can experience a calm, attentive, nonjudgmental presence as you explore your concerns. My approach involves working collaboratively with you to set goals, noting together what your strengths are and what might be keeping you stuck, and exploring tools, skills, and perspectives that might be useful to you. In our sessions I will show up with curiosity, compassion, and a bit of humor, and I will encourage you to do the same. We will do all of this within the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

I work with teens 13+ as well as adults with anxiety, depression, body image issues, relationship troubles, or just life stressors in general.
I understand how frustrating and powerless it can feel to be trapped in our own mind. It feels like someone is in the driver seat and we are merely a passenger, along for the ride. This might look like overthinking before going into social situations, negative self talk or entering into relationships because we crave a sense of safety. This is just the mind trying to keep us safe. My goal for all my clients is to get a point where we are able to understand why we might feel that way, and still do the thing that scares us. Our mind will create a million narratives to keep us safe, and they might not all be true.

I utilize EFT and IFT modalities and enjoy working with those navigating gender and sexual identity exploration, relationships, men's issues, ADHD, grief & loss, sexual and intimacy issues, setting boundaries in relationships, exploring the impact of cultural influences, LBRTQIA+, depression, and anxiety.
Navigating Relationships can be a difficult process that requires guidance and support. When our relationships are struggling and we are feeling let down by our partner or friends, it can take a toll on our mental health. It is my desire as your therapist to offer guidance and support to help you find ways to help your relationships grow and become more fulfilling. It is my passion to help and empower others to extend the same love and empathy they would towards others onto themselves. We all need reminders that our needs are just as important as others, and it is my goal to support you in that practice.

Making changes and building a life worth living can be overwhelming when you don't understand why you keep repeating the same patterns of behavior, over and over. It's even more frustrating when you try to do things to feel better, but don't understand why you're failing to make progress. But there is hope! I work with clients who have felt stuck, often for many years, to identify patterns of thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of their goals, and work together to create sustainable changes. I specialize in working with clients who find themselves stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

We need help to feel secure in, trust, and make sense of our emotional experiences. When we don’t get the help we need, we can feel stuck, insecure, anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Over time, this often leads to patterns of feeling emotionally dead, chronically overstimulated, or, simply, feeling out of touch with oneself. Therapy is a kind of relationship in which we are able to recover our own sense of self by exploring those emotional experiences, large or small, that for whatever reason come to mind, stay with us, and make us pay attention to them.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I work primarily with teens and young adults. I love the opportunity to support young people as they grow and overcome challenges in their lives.

I'm especially skilled at working with youth who have experienced trauma or who struggle with anxiety, depression and/or self-harm. As of April 2024, I have some limited availability for in-person services.
