Self Esteem Therapists in Shoreline, WA
My office is a safe space for all individuals and couples. People look to counseling for a variety of reasons - anxiety, depression, dissatisfaction, misery. Those who find work with me helpful seek fuller understanding of themselves and their connections in the world. We take a compassionate and curious stance as we pay attention to you. Through the lens of attachment, we examine how your current experience of (in)security and safety influence your feelings and choices in adulthood. In couple work we look at repairing what interferes with meeting each partner's normal human need for safety and connection with one another.

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 believe that you and your family are doing the best you can with the tools you have, and if you’re searching for a therapist, you likely need more support to thrive. 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.

I have been in this field of psychotherapy for 25 years. I tend to be more pragmatic, excelling in the "Now What?" stage. I am solution-focused and action-oriented providing applicable skills and cognitive understanding. I have worked in two different private practices since my graduation from Seattle Pacific University back in 2006 before I started my own here in Edmonds, WA. So I have gleaned enough experience and confidence to provide you a mental health service you can trust. If you're interested in self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-disciple, I invite you.

We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions. For many this leads to experiencing a variety of symptoms. Life can also throw us some big curveballs that feel impossible to adjust to. I believe with assistance anyone can process the past, heal, build coping skills and cultivate a mindset that is needed to create a life that is enjoyable. I utilize DBT and EMDR to aid you in your journey.

I believe that all persons have the basic right to be heard. We all have experiences that make us who we are, some of which we may need or wish to explore further or heal from. Together in counseling we can create a safe place to work toward agreed upon goals.

When I was a teen, I had my first experience of individual therapy and realized the value that can come from a strong connection to a helping professional that wants to take the time to really see, hear, and understand their clients. I endeavor to be this sort of therapist with each of my clients, seeing them for their unique experience, personality, struggles, and strengths.

We each have different values and experiences in our lives, that can shape the people we become and the quality of living we experience. In times of struggle, we may feel lost and lonely as we attempt to live more authentically and with greater joy. Together, we can explore and deepen your own understanding and relationship you have with yourself and others to better navigate through and experience a balanced and healthy living. My goal is to provide a safe and secure environment to support personal growth, deepen insight, increase perspective and give space for self-compassion and acceptance.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker who specializes in working with youth (ages 12+) and young adults. I have experience with trauma (including cPTSD), anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity formation. My style is warm, humanistic, and collaborative, and I believe in humor as a great tool for healing and connection. I also believe in bringing our authentic selves into the therapy room and love to incorporate hobbies and interests into treatment. As an example, I'm trained in therapeutically-applied roleplaying games (like Dungeons & Dragons).

In an overly connected world, we sometimes just need to be heard. Meeting with someone who listens deeply can uncover the answers that live within our hearts. The therapeutic process allows you to navigate life's transitions (identity, relationships, career, relocation, retirement, grief and loss) with grace. In time, you can bring your whole self to all of your relationships (intimate, family, friends, colleagues). You can also pursue purposeful action in your education, career, community and spiritual life. Living is the process of enduring change. Building resilience allows us to be enriched by that ongoing change process.

Are you at a point in your life where you realize you need to make a change? You don’t know what that is necessarily, but you’re willing to put in the work to make it happen for yourself. You may struggle with perfectionism, low self-esteem, or imposter syndrome. You may be completely new to therapy or just looking for a different perspective from a different therapist. You’re not looking for a quick fix or solution because do those even exist? You’re ready to do the deep work, to come face to face with parts of yourself you have buried for a long time.
