Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Seattle, WA
You feel overwhelmed, burned out, unfulfilled, or anxious despite appearing to be on top of everything. Though you value kindness and caring for those in your life, you wish you had more time for yourself and could dismiss messages about what else you “should” be doing. Your achievement-oriented focus, while it helped you succeed thus far, leaves you without enough space for what’s meaningful to you, particularly as you look at the mess (climate & politics) around you when you're not trying to numb out or feeling cynical about effecting change. You're seeking hope and energy to spend where, when, & as you wish.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.

Throughout my work, I have learned that many people feel confused, lost, alone and ashamed when it comes to sex. In particular, many people I work with feel conflicted about their porn and masturbation habits, paying for sex, or their ability to keep agreements with partners. As a certified sex therapist, I offer a non-judgmental space to help you identify which behaviors are no longer serving you, as well as to cultivate the kind of relationship you want to have with your sexuality. I am also qualified to treat sexual dysfunction issues (low desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual pain).

Together we will work to treat the symptoms you are experiencing in the here and now, and also work alongside one another to explore what is causing them, fostering holistic healing and growth. My goal is to empower you to transform your experiences into resilience and emotional well-being.

I work with parents and caregivers who are motivated to improve relationships and restore harmony to their lives. Do you wish your kid(s) would just cooperate? Are you tired of yelling, using bribery and/or punishment? Perhaps you've tried one or more of the popular parenting approaches, but without lasting success. Parenting children and adolescents is hard work, but it can also be fun and rewarding. I help parents who love their children, to like their children.

Are you struggling with thoughts, emotions, memories, grief, loss, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, panic, anger, feeling stuck, or worried about your relationships? My therapy practice is based on a belief that everyone has a unique history with many experiences that shape and transform our ways of being and interactions. Each person is beautiful and whole with a powerful story. So many factors impact our development, how we see ourselves, and how we relate to one another. Sometimes it can be difficult to know who we are, who we want to be, or how to take the next step.

It is ok to ask for help. Your mind knows this, but you feel a sense of unease as you try to find the balance each day between what’s right for you and what’s right for your loved ones. You are fiercely independent: able to handle the to-do list, and your friends & family can always count on you. When you have built a life on putting others first, it can be petrifying to ask for help and to admit to having needs. But-you also know therapy has worked for you in the past when you have struggled to find a way forward in your relationship, career, creative, or inner life.

My practice centers the experiences of people who are BIPOC. Many of the people I work with identity as AAPI, and/or have intersecting identities of being both BIPOC and Queer. People I work with want to have more fulfilling and meaningful relationships with themselves, their partner, friends, and/or family. They desire to know and share their needs and boundaries. They recognize the impact their upbringing may have on them, and are ready to heal from it, and to unlearn patterns that stem from that. They want to be more vulnerable and in touch with their emotions, to live authentically true to who they are. They value growth.
