Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Washington
Currently accepting new clients. So many people today are walking around, suffering in silence, beset with doubt, self-loathing, and self-recriminations. Especially now, as so many are being told their country is against them, self-compassion and self-love are very important pieces in our armor against the onslaught of negativity. A piece many are missing. I'd like to help you find it. Come to a place where you are seen and heard for who you are, without having to explain or defend your identity, lifestyle, or sexuality. Come laugh, come cuss, come cry. We can do this.

I strive to create a trusting, safe and empowering environment in order to promote positive change. I believe that our early relationships influence and shape our relationships into adulthood. Exploring these past relationships is essential for change because they contribute to our current life stressors, negative thinking patterns, relationships and our ability to cope with challenges. I incorporate, attachment theory, dialectal behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy in treatment. My desire is to assist you in understanding yourself, and learn tools to thrive in all aspects of your life.

Asking for help can be vulnerable and undoubtedly nerve wracking. Investing in therapy is a huge step toward understanding yourself and putting yourself back in the driver’s seat of your life. Seeing first hand how transformative therapy can be makes me passionate and excited about this work. I aim to balance warmth and challenge to help you create meaningful change that extends beyond the therapy hour and into your everyday life. We may not always have the power to control all of the variables in our lives, but we can decide how we write them in our story. I believe each person has a story that deserves space to be heard.

It is not that things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult -Seneca. If you have the desire to change your life for the better, then I would like to work with you to achieve it. The journey to recovery is not easy, but easier with help. I hope to build trust and resilience in the people I work with so that they can reach their full potential in life. No matter where you are at the moment, with persistence, commitment and patience, anything is possible.

I am a practicing licensed marriage and family therapist. For the past 10 years I have worked in the crisis mental healthcare system. There I encountered clients at some of the worst times in their lives. I created a space and container for them to be in the moment. To be messy, to be where they were at that stage of discomfort, and be able to sit with that. I worked with some of the world's most marginalized and disenfranchised populations who were in a constant struggle of survival with a system that was deliberately built against them.

I specialize in individual and couples therapy. I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression and self worth. I have experience working with teenagers and adults. Another part of my practice is helping clients who are interested in changing their relationship to alcohol or substances. I am very passionate about this. I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world.

My intention is to be a neutral third party with whom a client can express themselves free of judgment, reflect on their own thoughts and experiences, and find their own direction. I strive to understand the person before me from their own perspective based on their unique values, cultural beliefs, and daily stresses and concerns. I believe someone’s difficulties are not always due to abnormal psychopathology but can arise as a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.

Hello! I am glad you're here. For me, being a therapist is like being a compassionate companion on someone's journey, helping them rediscover the incredible depth and strength within themselves and their communities. Life can throw us curveballs, leaving us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. But by embracing every part of ourselves with kindness, even the parts we may not always love, we open up avenues for healing and personal growth.

I am accepting new clients. My clients are adults, children, and families. Adult clients are usually motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. Children often present internalized or externalized behavior problems and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore psychodynamic issues and collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.

I believe that fostering an open and collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients is key to getting the most out of therapy. Together we are able to focus on gaining insight into interpersonal relationships and identifying the patterns that affect them. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing various struggles related to trauma, stress, and life adjustments. I often target issues related to shame with people. I've learned that shame and fear often drive most of our struggles.

I love helping clients heal and thrive in spite of their past, feel more comfortable in their own skin, expand capacity for broader emotional experiences, cultivate meaningful relationships, and reach their highest potential.

Sometimes in life we may feel “stuck” and unsure how to move, overwhelmed, or alone. We may experience depression or anxiety, go through an experience that leaves us shaken, or hit the end of our rope and burnout. For some of us, we reach a place in life where we lose touch with ourselves or perhaps even come to a crossroads where we have a drastic shift in our understanding of the world and question all that we have known. It is in these times where we may be looking for extra support and need a calm, compassionate space to be seen…
