Behavioral Issues Therapists in Seattle, WA
I am specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure, trauma treatment, DBT skills, parent coaching and the Incredible Years intervention.
The clients I work with often feel different in some way, either because of neurodivergence, trauma, giftedness, or intense anxiety. Simply put, they process the world differently. The parents I see are doing their best to support their children's self-regulation even as they manage their own confusion and fatigue. They are looking for a guide rather than endless parenting blogs. My young adult clients are looking for ways to manage self-criticism, anxiety, and perfectionism. Frequently, they are processing trauma, striving to develop a balanced sense of self, and learning how to navigate relationships.

I view therapy as an exploration of learned behavior and core beliefs, how power operates in our lives, and how we respond to the environment(s) we're in.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Do you feel stuck, confused, and unsure of your true purpose? Have difficulty communicating with confidence? Have a strong need and/or calling to explore your inner Self and discover who you truly are? Suffer chronic illness or repeated relationship, health, or job problems? Feel uninspired in a job/career that no longer serves you? You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning!

I use a combination of Attachment Based interventions, Gottman Tools, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other systemic therapy models to help individuals, families and couples slow down, connect, and identify patterns that are no longer serving them.
I believe that we all have tremendous potential for healing and improving our relationships with ourselves and those around us. From the time we are born, we are met with messages from society at large, the families we grow up in, and the systems and institutions we interact with that inform how we see ourselves. But what if some of that information is flawed? Figuring out our own truth can be incredibly challenging when we have been working with bad facts. I provide my clients with a non-judgmental space to see themselves with clear eyes, and increase safety, harmony and understanding in their relationships, to reach their goals.

For those looking for a therapist with a specific theoretical orientation, I am most likely to use EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy); IFS (Internal Family Systems); CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and Mindfulness techniques as well as dream/soul work.
My specialties are premarital and couple counseling, issues around sexuality for men and women, and counseling individuals with anxiety, depression and life changes. Couples and individuals who find me helpful often find that they feel stuck and unhappy. They have been unable to reason themselves out of their difficulties yet desperately want to change. They need help figuring out what is going on beneath the surface and how to use this newfound knowledge to heal. People who work with me want someone who is collaborative and nonjudgmental.

Utilizing attachment, systems, relational, and behavioral theories, I work collaboratively and non-judgmentally with you to create an individualized plan that incorporates research-based interventions.
Sometimes feelings and behaviors become obstacles to accessing your strength. If you don't accept yourself as you are, you can't change--a paradox, but true. Self-acceptance can be difficult, especially with history of abuse, trauma, or opression in which shame/guilt become integral to your sense of self. Destructive behavior, in whatever form, has its own logic, but is understandable given your history. We cope in ways that serve to protect ourselves in childhood--serving a useful purpose back then. But now, they prevent you from having stable, close relationships and feeling an empowered sense of self.

Sessions with me often explore the interplay between conscious and unconscious processes, shedding light on how past experiences, relationships, and emotions influence current behavior and thought patterns.
My goal is to help clients transform their pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I welcome individuals who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong" as well as people who have experienced abuse or struggle with a harsh inner critic. I welcome individuals and couples looking for greater self-awareness, connection, and emotional growth. My aim is to explore with curiosity and kindness the aspects of life clients wish to attend.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about walking along side others on their journey toward wholeness and healing. I work primarily with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing a wide range of emotional or behavioral issues. All of us have experienced suffering or relational brokenness within our stories that can feel confusing or hard to address. While we are most often harmed in relationship, it is also in relationship that we heal. It is my hope that in our sessions, you will experience the relief of engaging the hard moments of your story in the presence of a supportive witness as you move toward healing.

I practice mindfulness-based therapy, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and inner-directed therapeutic approaches.
You may have heard a saying that depression arises from living in the past, anxiety from living in the future, and the antidote for both is living in the present. Many of us push away the present moment with distractions, automatic behaviors, over-committing, substance use, and screen-time. Other times when we slow down enough to be present, we might not like the person we find ourselves to be - out of alignment with our environment or acting in ways that don’t match our values. However you are trying to get "un-stuck" or find a more authentic self, it helps to have a guide who can help you find footing.
