My practice is rooted in evidence-based principles, drawing upon my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies.

**CURRENTLY OFFERING TELETHERAPY SESSIONS in ARIZONA & WASHINGTON** Relationships can be challenging, particularly the ones that are most important to us. We want to feel known, connected and loved but often end up hurt and lonely, stuck in patterns which aren't working. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression or grief among other things. I have extensive training in Psychodyamic Therapy. I have also learned directly from masters in the field of Couples Therapy: John & Julie Gottman and Phil Ringstrom to address these very issues.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with anxiety, worry, stress, panic attacks, indecision, uncertainty, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. I use evidence-based treatment for anxiety & related disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, phobias, and OCD. I love working with clients who are interested in personal growth/development, and who want to improve the quality of their relationships (and their lives!). Ultimately, I am passionate about assisting you in developing a deeply meaningful way of life.

I assist clients in processing through feelings and symptoms related to traumas or negative experiences that impact your life today. I believe that every individual possesses the ability to make positive changes in their lives and I would like to be a part of that journey with you. It takes strength and courage to face your problems and together we can take on this challenge. The treatment I provide is individualized to the person or couple I am working with. Because change is constant, we each go through phases of challenges and peace, and my attention will be on supporting you and/or your family in this process.

Avanti is a place where children, adolescents, young adults, couples and families can receive counseling and support.

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. I’m a therapist who specializes in helping those struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-harm, personality disorders, attachment issues, neurodivergence (Autism, OCD, ADHD), and sexuality/kink concerns. In addition to being a therapist, I’m also a philosopher, and will implement an integrated view on wellness to help you make sense of your concerns, empower you, and give you the tools to live your best life. My goal is to help you actually get better, not just feel better as a result of our sessions. To do this, I aim to be warm and welcoming, but will compassionately challenge you when necessary.

Our reaction to stressors that feel out of our control can vary widely. This is largely based upon our already established internal resources or our sense of psychological safety, the quality of habitual attention we show up with, the quality of communication in our relationships, the clarity of our personal values and the physiological setpoint of our nervous system. Each of these factors are pieces of your experience that I am happy to assess with you.

Times are hard and balancing all that life brings is no easy task, no matter your stage of life we often feel disconnected and unheard. My practice centers LGBTQIA+ folks and those who are looking for greater connection and a way to live more authentically. Breaking old patterns, adding new skills and seeing challenges from a new perspective can be transformative. I have worked with a wide range of client needs including; gender and sexuality exploration, communication skills, anxiety, depression and adjustment challenges.

I am a systemic relational therapist. What does that mean? I believe everything is connected: people make up systems, and systems have patterns. I help my clients –individuals, couples, and families of all types— shift the patterns that no longer work for them. We identify the path they want to take forward, and together, we work toward that future.

To say that life is hard is an understatement; what a time to be alive and to be human! Life has an interesting way of "just" happening when we least expect it. Everyone has a story or a burden to bear, some heavier than others. Regardless, seeking a therapist midst those things can add another layer of hardness or stress. My goal as your therapist is to help you find healing. Whether I am the right fit or not, you will leave our consultation one or two ways; ready to dive in together and do the work or help with finding the right therapist.

I've worked with a wide range of age groups, ages 8 and up, from different paths of life and backgrounds. I'm experienced in working through clients' trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, and grief. I enjoy helping clients to overcome challenges and meet their goals at their time and pace. I'm a culturally competent and trauma-informed clinician who is able to provide mindful and conscious practice for the client's needs.

Change is guaranteed. Sometimes we choose it and sometimes it is simply the result of living in this world. I provide support to help you move through it. Maybe you have just experienced a loss or some kind of trauma.....Maybe it happened before and for some reason you are ready to talk about it now.....Maybe you aren't clear about why are you looking for someone at this time but life is nudging you to do something. I specialize in meeting you in that place. I am excited to be in Seattle full time!

My work is focused around encouraging and empowering children and families. I provide support and guidance for interpersonal exploration, build on present strengths, and help children to develop new skills that will help promote success in all areas of life.

I have experience working with adolescents, children on the spectrum of Autism, suicidal and homicidal ideation, and psychosis. My approach is a good fit for those struggling with depression, anxiety, low-self-esteem, self-criticism, grief, relationship distress, and life transitions. My therapeutic modality includes Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Mindfulness, Existential, Solutions-Focused, and Person-Centered Therapy. A strong therapeutic alliance between my clients and I is marked by the trust and openness in which sacred moments emerge.

Clients who work with me learn to better understand their emotional triggers, work to overcome life’s setbacks, manage stress more productively, communicate with others more effectively, and set healthy boundaries. My approach involves getting to know each of my clients, beyond what has brought them into therapy. I seek to understand what your goals are for this journey, and we together discuss how I can support you in working on what can be changed, and learning to cope with people and situations that we cannot change.

My goal is to help you discover your own strength and resilience and to create the life you want for yourself. I think of my role as your travel partner on your journey to knowing yourself and your motivations better than you ever have before. I draw on 20+ years of experience in human behavior, human performance, and organizational behavior from my careers in counseling, business, marketing and sports.I bring to my counseling a diverse multicultural experience having lived/studied/worked in half a dozen countries around the world. I also created my trade marked counseling approach Positive Existential Therapy.

Welcome everyone! I work with all adults and adolescents and specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, physical & emotional abuse, identity development, internalized oppression (of all forms), substance abuse and stress management. I am attuned to how sensitive our social identities contribute to how we feel, and I believe we all have a unique and personal story to tell. It is my role to bring hope, compassion, respect & knowledge to our time together.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy services. I begin the therapeutic process with a discussion of your current symptoms and challenges, your strengths, goals, life experiences, and aspects of your identity that help us better understand your unique circumstances. We then collaboratively develop treatment goals and an individualized plan to help you meet your goals. Ultimately, I aim to help you feel confident in your ability to navigate stressors, regulate emotions, and feel strongly connected to your values.
