Anxiety Therapists in 98136

When you listen to your mind and body about what you really want, you are aware that -above all else- you want freedom: freedom to be spontaneous, to fear less, to love yourself and others without hesitation, to be present to yourself rather than being caught in the past or the future...You struggle and you sense that others may not struggle as much as you do. You want closeness but you feel cut off from yourself; it doesn't feel possible to be close to others (not in the way you would like.) You want inner freedom and have no idea how to get from where you are now to that kind of experience. What would freedom even feel like?...

I endeavor to walk with my clients - to provide clarity and insight as they navigate the waters of their journey....be it loss of a loved one, conflict or codependency in valued relationships, anxiety and depression, trauma or abuse, or major shifts in family systems. Whatever your challenges may be, I’m here to support you.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Counseling is an art form.... the art of listening, the ability to create visual understanding of deeply embedded meaning regarded as truth vs. constructions. Healing begins when a client feels safe enough to deconstruct and replace maladaptive beliefs and behaviors. Integrating new perspectives and a fresh understanding of old stories is a means to sustainable change - a gift of self acceptance. As a therapeutic guide, I believe that each of us is the best source of our own healing....I am there to facilitate what is already true and wise in each client.

Our lives are the context for tremendous brokenness and tremendous beauty. I would love to walk alongside you as you tend to the brokenness and discover the beauty. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples towards healing and hope using research based therapy approaches. I provide a safe place to process life changes or relationship challenges.

Have you ever considered the amount of energy, both mental and emotional, that we spend on the negativity in our lives? It's common for people to carry burdens or face challenges they feel unable to address. We all have those situations in our lives that we would like to change but tend to either ignore them or attempt to bury them and suffer in silence.

I specialize in working with adults who are facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, or other post-trauma reactions, and emphasize working with members of the military and veteran communities in my practice. I also enjoy working with individuals who struggle with managing difficult emotions and are interested in building their 'emotional intelligence,' including learning how to name, express, and cope with emotions in effective and authentic ways. I use a targeted, active, and evidence-based approach to treatment, and also value the use of humor and transparency in the therapeutic process.

While some of the issues leading us to start psychotherapy might be relieved relatively quickly, I have found that most issues are complex and require time and the right attention to effectively work through. I believe the best work we have ahead of us is not merely to alleviate negative symptoms, but to help create real, lasting change; change that helps bring us closer to our best self. I strive to create the connection, bond, and sense of care needed for us to do this work together.

Perhaps you're hoping to improve your your mood, increase your self-compassion, or enhance your romantic relationship. Maybe you're seeking a non-judgmental and supportive relationship with your therapist, within which you can learn strategies you can use right away. If so, I look forward to hearing from you! I primarily treat anxiety, PTSD, and relationship concerns, and I have over a decade of experience supporting individuals and couples in their therapy goals. I'm also pleased to offer trainings on trauma-informed healthcare and no-cost evaluations for asylum seekers.

We all want to feel valued, and to work, play, and love well. Many of us get frustrated and confused when we feel blocked in one or more of these areas. My role as a therapist is to help you build awareness about what is keeping you stuck, and to open new perspectives and possibilities in your life. I work with adults on a variety of issues, including anxiety; depression; climate-related grief and anxiety; relationship problems; food and body issues; life transitions, and issues relating to hearing loss.

My practice leans toward supporting individuals who are feeling stuck, struggling in relationships, and/or needing a fresh approach to living life in such a way that you feel you have more control over your experience. We’ll work to understand identity and the roles that it plays, make shifts in internal and external communication habits, incorporate personal values in every-day living, cultivate patience, and treat each day as if you are living on purpose.

I work with adults, children, teens, and couples who are seeking insight into their own processes and behaviors, with a desire to heal broken places. I am passionate about helping people connect to their inner strength, beauty, and goodness, which means I will have a bias toward kindness and self-compassion. It can be intimidating and overwhelming making the first steps toward wellness-I aim to be open and authentic right off the bat to help ease some of the anxiety. I am an artist who has spent many years working in restaurants, so I especially love working with artists and folks in the service industry as they pursue wellness.

Healing occurs in our bodies, in the present moment. As a licensed mental health counselor, nationally certified Sex Therapist, and Hakomi Practitioner, I have a unique, multidisciplinary approach to psychotherapy and the healing practice of mental health.

I work with adults struggling with depression & anxiety, as well as sexual health and recovery issues. My practice of psychotherapy supports compassion toward oneself and empathy for others by shifting from stuck patterns & beliefs to an expanded sense of our true essence as human beings of joy and pleasure.

I believe Success in therapy is built on the strengths you have within.
