Therapists in Seattle, WA

Therapy is an opportunity to engage in a healing relationship unlike most others. The focus is on you: your feelings, your thoughts, your strengths, and insecurities. My job is to support you as you work your way toward understanding, accepting, and growing into yourself. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, perceptions, and beliefs about oneself and others, understanding how and why self-defeating or painful patterns of living have developed, and discovering how to modify them. I am committed to helping you discover and speak the truth of your experience, including parts of you that may have been left unspoken and unlived.

Counseling can offer an understanding of the behaviors, beliefs and emotions that fuel our daily interactions with families and other people. Therapy is a process. My job is to facilitate you through possible change options.

The main goal is to explore patterns of behavior, thoughts, and actions to foster positive change and personal growth.

Where does one begin their search for relief from a vague feeling of discomfort, the source of which is difficult to locate, or from emotional/physical pain that announces itself clearly and loudly, the source being well-known?

You have the thought that if you reach out to someone, relief may follow as you move from isolation to connection and relationship. So you arrive here and I welcome your call. My therapy approach is collaborative and grounded in family systems, psychodynamic, and somatic-based interventions.

My practice is about creating space... a relational space to be, to reflect, to see, to heal, and imagine anew. Life can often feel overwhelming or bring feelings of hopelessness, but our inner resources are often more than we are able to imagine in the moment of our distress. New strength and connection can be found in parts of yourself that have been cut off or neglected for various reasons. Often we need the presence of someone, like a therapist, who has the potential to reflect back who we are being and what we might be neglecting, in order to see ourselves more clearly and engage life and relationships more fully.
